Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation - MAC

It is particularly well-suited for oily and combination skin types due to its 24-hour oil control and matte finish. Those with dry skin should ensure thorough hydration and skin prep to prevent it from clinging to dry patches.

The 'NC' in NC25 stands for Neutral Cool, meaning it has golden/peachy undertones. '25' indicates the depth. To find your perfect match, it's best to swatch several shades on your jawline and check them in natural light. Consider your skin's undertone (cool, warm, neutral) and depth.

Yes, its compact form and 2-in-1 nature make it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. A light dusting with a brush or a gentle press with the sponge can refresh your makeup and control shine.

Info needed: [SPF content]. While some foundations include SPF, it is not mentioned in the product description. Always use a separate sunscreen underneath for adequate protection.

For optimal hygiene and application, it's recommended to wash the sponge applicator at least once a week with a gentle cleanser. Allow it to air dry completely before reuse.

The refillable packaging is an eco-conscious design choice, reducing plastic waste when you finish your product. Instead of buying a whole new compact, you simply purchase and insert a new powder pan.

Ensure your skin is properly prepped with moisturizer and/or primer. For a smoother finish, apply with a clean, damp sponge or a well-packed brush, blending outwards in gentle, buffing motions. Avoid applying too much product at once.

This often occurs with dry skin or too much product. Exfoliate and moisturize skin thoroughly before application. Use a lighter hand, building coverage gradually. Consider using a hydrating setting spray to meld the powder with your skin.

While formulated to be color-true, some skin chemistry can cause slight shifts. Ensure skin is well-primed and hydrated. If the issue persists, you might need to re-evaluate your shade match in natural light, considering both undertone and depth.

For maximum oil control, start with an oil-controlling primer. Apply the powder foundation by pressing it into oily areas. Carry blotting papers for touch-ups throughout the day. Ensure your skincare routine isn't inadvertently making your skin oilier.

Check your applicator. For higher coverage, use the included sponge, pressing and rolling. For full coverage, a slightly damp sponge can be more effective than a dry brush. Ensure your skin is free from excessive oils or heavy moisturizers before application.
