M.A.C Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation - C40 is engineered for versatile performance, making it a staple for various scenarios. Its 24-hour oil control makes it ideal for long workdays, humid environments, or events where touch-ups are minimal. The blurred-matte finish ensures you look photo-ready, making it perfect for special occasions, photoshoots, or even daily video calls.
For Sheer to Medium Coverage: Using a soft, fluffy brush (like a powder brush), lightly dust the product over your face in gentle, sweeping motions. This helps to set liquid foundation or provide a natural, even skin tone on its own.
For Medium to Full Coverage: For increased coverage, use a denser brush, a sponge, or the applicator puff (if provided). Press and roll the product onto your skin, focusing on areas that require more concealment. Layer as necessary until the desired coverage is achieved.
Targeted Concealment: For specific imperfections like hyperpigmentation or redness, lightly dab the product onto the area with a small, dense brush or fingertip, then gently blend the edges.
Its sweat, smudge, and humidity resistance ensures your flawless complexion withstands diverse conditions, while the skincare benefits help keep skin feeling comfortable, rather than dry, throughout the wear. The ability to layer means you can customize your look from a natural base to a fully perfected canvas, making it adaptable for both natural daytime makeup and more dramatic evening looks.
This product comes as a prefill, designed for use within M.A.C's refillable compacts. To set up, simply insert the powder pan into your compatible M.A.C compact. Ensure the compact is clean before insertion. If using as a standalone, no specific setup is required beyond selecting your preferred application tool (brush, sponge, or fingers).
The M.A.C Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is formulated to be compatible with most skin types, particularly those prone to oiliness, thanks to its 24-hour oil control. However, its infusion with rose, sugar kelp, and red algae extracts also provides hydrating properties, making it suitable for normal to combination skin. For very dry skin, ensure thorough skin preparation with a hydrating primer and moisturizer before application.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity.
Cleaning Applicators: Regularly clean any brushes, sponges, or puffs used for application. This prevents bacterial buildup and ensures a smooth, even application. Use a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap and water, then allow them to air dry completely.
Hygiene: Avoid sharing your foundation with others to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
