Application Steps:
Prep Your Skin: Begin by preparing a smooth canvas. Apply Hyper Real Serumizer Skin Balancing Hydration Serum or Hyper Real SkinCanvas Balm Moisturizing Cream to ensure optimal hydration and an even base.
Apply Foundation: Dispense the foundation using the integrated pump. Apply it first to the center of your face or to areas where you desire more coverage.
Blend Thoroughly: Using your preferred foundation brush, blend the product outwards with a tapping and swirling motion. This technique helps achieve a natural, photo-ready finish.
Set Your Look (Optional but Recommended): For extended wear and a perfected look, set your makeup with Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless Loose Powder to diffuse, smooth, and add dimension.
Pro Tips:
Sheerer Coverage: For a lighter, more diffused application, mix the foundation with Fix+.
Luminous Finish: To add a subtle glow, blend a small amount of Strobe Cream with your foundation.
The MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation comes ready to use with an easy-to-apply pump. For optimal results and compatibility with other products, ensure your skin is properly prepped.

This foundation blends well with other MAC cosmetic products, specifically Fix+ for sheering out coverage and Strobe Cream for creating a luminous effect. To finalize and enhance wear, setting with Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless Loose Powder is advised.
