Pros  of MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation
  • Provides more coverage and a nice finish.
  • Concealer is not needed for the face. I have some blemishes after my pregnancy and it covers them too.
  • Provides a nice matte finish which is best suited for my combination-oily skin.
  • It is very easy to apply.I am a beginner and apply it wth my fingers.
  • Doesn’t look cakey at all.It looks quite natural
  • Even without a primer it stayed on for around 6 hours.I removed it after 6 hours so don’t know if it will stay after that
  • It didn’t oxidize at all.
  • It has SPF 15
  • It is quite buildable..very few chance of lukin like a ghost.
  • The quantity is good since a very small amount of product is required and I thnk it will last me for a long time.
  • It didn’t break me out.

Cons of of MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation
  • It doesn’t come with a pump so you have to buy it separately.
  • I have to moisturise before using it since it may look dryin or cause flakiness.The MUA had also moisturised my skin before applying it.So i have never applied this foundation without moisturing my face.

Coverage:
The coverage of the spf 15 foundation is medium to full coverage. It does cover up light redness, blemishes and uneven areas of the skin quite well by building it up. If you have very deep scars you might need a concealer to get a flawless finish. The mac foundation doesn’t look cakey which is a great pro for a product with good coverage.

Staying power:
It lasts up to 5 to 6 hours and after that slowly fades away. Priming your skin prior to application of the studio fix foundation and also setting it with a compact powder after application can increase longevity of the product.
