MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF15 - NC5

This foundation offers buildable coverage, ranging from medium to full, allowing you to customize your desired look.

Yes, its matte finish is particularly beneficial for oily skin types as it helps to control shine and minimize the appearance of oil throughout the day.

While it contains broad spectrum SPF15, which provides a good baseline of daily protection, it is not sufficient for prolonged sun exposure. We recommend supplementing with a dedicated sunscreen for extended time outdoors.

'NC' stands for Neutral-Cool, indicating the shade is suitable for skin with golden or peach undertones (which neutralizes pink tones). The number '5' denotes a very fair skin depth within that undertone category.

The long-wearing formula is designed to last for many hours, often through an entire workday, minimizing the need for touch-ups. Individual results may vary based on skin type and environmental factors.

Due to its long-wearing nature, we recommend using a dedicated makeup remover or an oil-based cleanser, followed by your regular facial cleanser, to ensure all product is thoroughly removed.

Apply less product. Start with a small amount and build coverage as needed. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and consider using a damp beauty sponge for a sheerer application.

Prepare your skin with a good primer before applying foundation. After application, set your foundation with a light dusting of setting powder, especially in oily areas.

Ensure you are applying the foundation in natural light for accurate shade assessment. If it's slightly off, you might try mixing a small amount with a lighter or darker foundation you already own to customize the shade. For future purchases, consider getting professionally shade-matched.

Proper skin hydration is key. Use a hydrating primer and apply a very thin layer of foundation in areas prone to creasing. Gently tap excess product away with a clean finger or sponge.
