Troubleshooting

Foundation appears cakey or heavy

Ensure skin is well-prepped and moisturized. Apply less product initially, using a lighter hand and blending thoroughly. A slightly damp sponge can help sheer out the application.

Coverage does not last the full 12 hours

Start with a clean and properly primed face. Avoid excessive touching or rubbing of the face throughout the day. Consider using a setting spray after application to further lock in your makeup.

Foundation emphasizes dry patches on the skin

Prioritize skin preparation by exfoliating and thoroughly moisturizing before application. Use a hydrating primer. Apply the powder sparingly in dry areas, or consider spot concealing instead of full coverage.

Shade appears different after application than expected

The product is colour-true; however, underlying skin tone, primer, or other base products can influence the perceived shade. Always test shades on your jawline in natural light and allow a few minutes for the product to settle.

Setup and Application: The MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is ready for immediate use. For initial application, use the provided sponge applicator. Alternatively, you can use a dense foundation brush for a different finish or targeted application. Ensure your applicator is clean before each use to prevent product contamination and ensure smooth application.

Compatibility: This powder foundation is designed to be compatible with various skincare and makeup products. For optimal results, particularly if you have dry skin, ensure your skin is thoroughly moisturized before application. Pairing it with a compatible primer can enhance longevity and smoothness.
