MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation - NC65

While the foundation is long-wearing and helps control oil, it is not explicitly marketed as waterproof. For water-resistant needs, you may want to use a setting spray designed for that purpose.

The best way to choose the correct shade is to swatch a small amount on your jawline or neck and check it in natural light. NC shades (Neutral Cool) have golden/warm undertones, while NW shades (Neutral Warm) have pink/cool undertones. NC65 is a deep shade with warm undertones.

The foundation is formulated to be suitable for all skin types. However, if you have very sensitive skin, it is always recommended to do a patch test on a small area of your skin before full face application to ensure no irritation occurs.

Foundations with SPF can sometimes cause flashback due to the presence of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. While SPF15 is a lower concentration, it's best to test it in flash photography if this is a concern for you.

We recommend using an oil-based cleanser, micellar water, or a dedicated makeup remover to effectively break down and remove the long-wearing formula, followed by your regular facial cleanser.

Yes, you can mix a small amount with a moisturizer for a lighter coverage tinted moisturizer effect, or with a liquid highlighter for a more luminous finish, as long as the products are compatible.

Ensure your skin is well-hydrated before application. Apply less product initially and blend thoroughly. Build coverage in thin layers only where needed. Try a damp beauty sponge for a sheerer application.

Ensure you're applying it to clean, oil-free skin (after moisturizing). Use a compatible primer underneath. Consider setting with a light dusting of setting powder, especially in oily areas.

Always swatch shades on your jawline and check in natural light before purchasing. If oxidation is an issue, it might be due to skin's natural oils interacting with the formula; using a mattifying primer and setting powder can sometimes help.

Exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin cells. Ensure your skin is thoroughly moisturized before applying foundation, possibly using a hydrating primer. Avoid applying too much product to dry areas.

The foundation offers buildable coverage. After the first thin layer, apply a second, targeted layer to areas requiring more concealment. Use a tapping motion with a brush or sponge for maximum coverage.
