Every time I wear this, someone asks about my foundation and/or skin and that gives me such a boost as i’ve struggled with my skin a lot the last few years! Yes there are a few gripes such as the pump and a slightly clearer shade range however, the actual formula performs impeccably and gives me so much confidence in my skin that i’ve really been lacking over the years. I find it just works seamlessly with my skin and now i’m more confident on my shades, I’m determined to make sure I always have a bottle of this on the go. For me, this is one of the most easy to apply and perfectly blendable foundations i’ve tried. I find that this does set into place but not so much that you can’t apply more layers or touch up should you wish. I’d probably say it’s a satin finish personally.

It doesn’t make me look flat but it does let a little glow through which I love. I would totally agree with this as I find I really don’t get oily at all when I wear this. As I mentioned, it’s a fuller coverage foundation that offers a natural matte finish. Shade battle aside and onto the actual formula. The one thing I would also say though is that make sure you are really happy with your match before you leave the shop, i’ve been matched terribly in the past and that caused me to dislike this foundation for a while when it was actually just the shade. However, I would strongly recommend getting colour matched as I don’t think it’s very straightforward as a general system. To be honest, I’m quite straight forward, I like a yellow undertone so head to the NC’s and I’m fairly light so I pick NC20 in the summer and NC15 in the winter. For example there is an NW18 and an NW13 but neither or these are available in NC.

However, there are certain numbers available in one undertone and not the other. They do make the shades a little confusing though as I always thought they simply went up in multiples of five e.g NC10, 15, 20 etc and that the numbers were applicable regardless of your undertone (C or W). In addition to that, they go up in number order with 10 being the lightest.

In MAC shades, the letter C has yellower undertones and W represents the pink toned shades. They also differentiate between undertones too which I love as I’m very yellow toned and hate when the right shade for me has pink undertones to it. They have definitely added lighter shades in recent years and I assume they’ve expanded their darker shades too as there are some really deep ones available now.

In true MAC fashion, there are a whopping 46 shades available in this formula which I think is brilliant. I know they say it’s a one time purchase as you move it onto your next bottle, however the one time I did buy one, it broke before my bottle was over. I feel like MAC are really taking the piss a bit with this on as charging that much for a pump is extortionate. When I wear this, I feel like i’m having a good skin day, everyday! This one retails for £23.50 for 30ml and doesn’t include a pump to dispense the product, that’s an additional £4.50 making the whole product £28 if you don’t want to smack the bottle on the back of your hand every day.

Starting with Studio Fix Fluid, this is one of the most full coverage foundations I own without being heavy on the skin. Studio Fix Fluid is an old favourite of mine that i’ve had a bit of a love/hate relationship with over the years and Face & Body is a new addition that i’ve always wanted to try. Today i’m going to combine two new MAC ones i’ve picked up to see if I can help you determine the formula for you! The two I’ve got my hands on are Studio Fix Fluid and Face & Body. I seem to have acquired a fair few new foundations recently and it’s taking me a bit of time to get round to writing up reviews on them all.
