The MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is designed for individuals seeking a versatile, long-wearing, and shine-controlling base. It functions as both a foundation and a setting powder, offering a blur-matte finish and 24-hour oil control. Its key advantages include medium-to-full buildable coverage and an extensive range of 78 shades, though finding your perfect match in the new formula may require re-evaluation due to potential shade shifts.

The MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation consistently delivers a blur-matte finish, effectively controlling oil and shine for up to 24 hours. Its breathable, talc-free formula ensures a silky texture that blends seamlessly onto the skin, providing medium-to-full buildable coverage. This means you can achieve a sheerer, natural look with a light dusting using a fluffy brush, or build up to full coverage for concealing imperfections by applying with a sponge. The immediate pore-reducing effect contributes to a refined, filtered appearance. In real-world application, its durability shines; the foundation is sweat- and humidity-resistant, making it suitable for active lifestyles or warm climates without caking, creasing, or fading. For example, a light layer after moisturizing can set your base and control shine for a typical workday, while a more concentrated application with a damp sponge can provide robust coverage for events where longevity is key. Its reported comfortable feel makes it a reliable choice for sustained wear.
Setup & Shade Matching: 1. Prepare Skin: For optimal application, ensure your skin is clean, moisturized, and, if desired, prepped with a primer. 2. Select Your Shade: With 78 shades available, finding your perfect match is crucial. If you've previously used MAC Studio Fix formulas, be aware that the remastered formula may have altered existing shades; re-testing on your jawline in natural light is highly recommended for the closest match. 3. Application: Apply with a brush for lighter coverage, or a sponge for fuller coverage. Blend the product evenly over your face, building coverage gradually where needed. Compatibility: The MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is designed to suit 'every skin tone and type' thanks to its extensive shade range. Its oil-controlling and blur-matte properties make it particularly compatible with oily, combination, or normal skin types. Care & Maintenance: This product features refillable packaging. Once the product pan is empty, you can purchase a new refill to insert into your existing compact, promoting sustainability. For hygienic use and optimal product performance, regularly clean your application brush or sponge with appropriate cleansers. Store the compact in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain product integrity.
