MAC Studio Fix Powder
My Shade: NW20
How much does it cost?
£19
How much product for that?
15g
Is it scented?
No
How long does it last?
All day. Great lasting power!
What's the packaging like?
Comes in a compact with a mirror and sponge. The compact opens and closes very easily. Mirror and sponge are very handy for application on the go. A travel flat top kabuki is useful for applying this on the go if you don't want to use the sponge it comes with.
How do I apply it?
Apply with a powder/stippling brush, sponge, or a powder puff. For best results use a stippling brush as this will give you an airbrushed effect. Sponges tend to waste product too so a brush is a better alternative. The MAC 187 is an example of what a Stippling brush looks like. GOSH have a much cheaper alternative. Just visit any GOSH counter and it is under 'Face' brushes. It looks almost exactly the same as the MAC 187 too.
What is the formula like?
Soft and non-chalky. (read here for more information on what is in the formula) non reflective. You get a very matte finish.
What is the coverage like?
Very good coverage. Covered the reddish patches on my face nicely. Non reflective so no shine whatsoever. Also helped to control the oilier parts of my face nicely. However the coverage won't be as good as a liquid foundation because it is a powder. Nice matte finish that lasted all day though.
Down points?
Pricey but you do get quite a bit of product for your money.
