MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation - NW40

This foundation offers medium-to-full buildable coverage, allowing you to customize your look from natural to a more comprehensive, flawless finish.

The MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is tested to wear for 12 hours, maintaining its colour-true, non-caking, non-streaking, and non-fading properties throughout the day.

NW stands for 'Neutral Warm', indicating pinker undertones. NW40 is a specific shade within this range. For the best match, apply a small amount to your jawline and observe how it blends with your skin in natural lighting conditions. If you have neutral-warm undertones and a medium-deep skin tone, NW40 is likely a suitable match.

While suitable for various skin types, individuals with dry skin should ensure their skin is thoroughly moisturized and potentially primed with a hydrating primer to prevent emphasizing dry patches and achieve a smoother application.

For lighter coverage, use a fluffy powder brush. For medium to full coverage, use the included sponge applicator, pressing and rolling it onto the skin to build up coverage where needed.

Ensure your skin is well-prepped and moisturized before application. Apply with a clean sponge or brush, using pressing or buffing motions to blend evenly. Avoid applying too much product at once.

Confirm proper application technique and consider using a long-wear primer underneath. Avoid touching or rubbing your face excessively throughout the day. A setting spray can also help extend wear.

Re-evaluate your shade match. Apply a small amount to your jawline and allow it to set in natural light to find the best match for your undertone. NW40 indicates neutral warm undertones.

Use a lighter hand during application, especially around fine lines and areas with less skin texture. For buildable coverage, apply thin layers and blend well, rather than one thick layer. A damp sponge can also help sheer out application slightly.

Thoroughly moisturize your skin before application. Consider using a hydrating primer. Gently exfoliate regularly to remove dry skin cells, ensuring a smoother canvas for foundation.
