FAQs

Is this foundation suitable for dry skin?

While the Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation offers a blur-matte finish and oil control, its breathable, talc-free formula is comfortable. For dry skin, ensure thorough moisturization and consider using a hydrating primer underneath. It can also be used lightly as a setting powder over a liquid foundation.

How do I choose the correct shade from 78 options?

With such a wide range, it's best to test shades directly on your jawline and observe them in natural light. Due to the remastered formula, your previous MAC shade might have changed. Visiting a MAC counter for a professional shade match is highly recommended.

Can I use this product wet for a different finish?

The MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is primarily designed for dry application. While some users experiment, its optimal performance for its intended blur-matte finish and oil control is achieved when applied dry with a sponge or brush.

Is the packaging truly refillable?

Yes, the product comes in new, innovative refillable packaging. Once you have used up the powder, you can purchase a separate refill pan to easily insert into your existing compact, making it a more sustainable choice.

What kind of coverage does this foundation provide?

It offers medium-to-full buildable coverage. This means you can apply a light layer for a natural look, or build up the product for more complete coverage without it feeling heavy or caky.

Will this product clog my pores?

The formula is designed to immediately reduce the appearance of pores and is breathable. While individual results vary, its talc-free composition and non-caking properties aim to provide a smooth finish without emphasizing or clogging pores.

Troubleshooting

Product appears cakey or too heavy on the skin.

Ensure your skin is well-prepped and moisturized before application. Apply with a lighter hand, starting with a small amount. For sheerer coverage, use a fluffy brush; for a more blended look, a damp sponge can help. Build coverage gradually as needed.

Foundation doesn't last all day, or oil breaks through quickly.

Start with a clean, prepped face, possibly using an oil-control primer if you have very oily skin. Apply a thin, even layer of foundation. For extremely oily areas, gently blot with blotting paper during the day instead of adding more powder to prevent buildup.

The shade I chose doesn't seem to match my skin tone.

The formula has been remastered, which might affect how shades appear compared to the previous version. It's highly recommended to re-evaluate your shade. Try testing shades on your jawline in natural lighting or consult a MAC professional for an accurate match from the 78 available options.

Product settles into fine lines or wrinkles.

Ensure your skin is properly hydrated, especially in areas prone to fine lines. Apply a lighter hand in these areas and try pressing the product into the skin rather than buffing. A smoothing primer can also help create an even canvas.

Cons

  • Shade Re-Matching Required: Due to the remastered formula, existing users may need to find a new shade match, which can be inconvenient.
  • Matte Finish Limitation: The blur-matte finish may not be preferred by individuals who favor a dewy or luminous complexion.
  • Application Learning Curve: Achieving the desired coverage and finish might require experimenting with different applicators (sponge, brush) and techniques.

Setup

  • Shade Selection: With 78 colour-true shades, it's crucial to select the shade that best matches your skin tone. MAC suggests that users of the previous formula may need to re-match, as the new formula may impact shade appearance. It's recommended to test shades on your jawline in natural light.
  • Refillable Design: The product features new refillable packaging. Once your powder is used up, you can purchase a refill pan and easily insert it into your existing compact, promoting sustainability and convenience.

Compatibility

  • Skin Tones & Types: The extensive shade range is crafted to suit every skin tone. The breathable, talc-free formula with oil control is well-suited for all skin types, especially beneficial for oily and combination skin.

Care

  • Storage: To maintain the product's quality and prevent drying or contamination, always ensure the compact is securely closed after each use. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Applicator Hygiene: Regularly clean any sponges or brushes used for application. This prevents bacterial buildup, ensures smooth application, and prolongs the life of both your product and tools. A gentle soap and water solution followed by thorough drying is recommended.
