M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation (NC30) Review (Beauty Blog Post)

I have spots on my face :O(

Blame it on too much sun, hormone imbalance (from two pregnancies), or whatever excuse that comes to mind at the moment, I have spots on my face. 

I do make the perfect beauty blog owner though -- lots of problems to fix, and lots of products to review.

To conceal spots, I sought a full-coverage foundation, and eventually settled for an old love, M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation. (Color NC30.) 

Why M.A.C again?

The reason why I picked M.A.C Studio Fix again is because I've had positive experience with this before, and it offers excellent coverage without feeling heavy. I decided to conduct a thorough review here for those of you who also seek a full-coverage product.

By the way, regarding female hormone imbalance...

Before the review, I want to make a point:  

hormone imbalance comes from various reasons, not just pregnancy.  

Also, hormone imbalance causes many side effects, not just skin discoloration. Some sides effects are dangerous. 

To learn more about hormone imbalance in women, please read about it here. The website offers important information around the subject, as well as products like women's vitamins. 

 

 

M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Review

(Price: $23 - $30)

Quality and Performance

• Formula is definitely fluid. Actually, it's a little watery.
• But formula has nice consistency. 
• It applied smoothly, and blended easily.
• Though runny, formula dried quickly, and gave skin a pretty veil.
• It also looked natural, but still offered excellent coverage.   
• My skin is oily, and this foundation put a matte effect on it. (No one likes looking shiny.)
• Overall, I loved the quality and performance of m.a.c studio fix fluid foundation.  

Excellent quality. Great consistency.

Feel

• Not heavy at all.
• Though coverage was sufficient, the feel was light and pleasant.
• I knew I had something on, but barely.  

  

Color

• M.A.C foundation offers a wide range of shades.
• It has something for everyone.
• NC30 looked perfect on my skin. Its yellow undertone really suits Asians.  

Lasting Power

• Great.
• Don't judge, but I wore it to the gym, and it lasted through two hours of sweaty workout. 

Packaging

• For me, glass bottles are always better.
• This foundation came in a large glass bottle.
• Bottle is heavy, but I like it. 
• The twist top was cumbersome to use, and formula was hard to pour out. 
• But overall, packaging wasn't bothersome.  

A little on the heavy side, but I still liked the glass bottle.

Overall Likes

• Excellent quality and performance.
• Long lasting power.
• Wide range of colors. (NC 30 is beautiful, by the way.)
• Easy to apply and blend.
• Liked the glass bottle. 

Overall Dislikes

• Formula a little thin and watery.
• Heavy bottle. Probably hard to travel with. 

Rating

• 9/10

Recommend?

Absolutely.

I have been using it for years. Though I continuously look for a better one, but always come back to my M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid.  

Truly worth the re-purchase.

Before

Bare with just lotion.

After

Covered and ready for makeup.

 

I loved M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid foundation.

 

Will you give it a try?

(Hope so.)
