MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation - NW65

In MAC's shade system, 'NW' stands for 'Neutral Warm', indicating that the shade is best suited for skin with pinker or peachy (cool) undertones that you want to neutralize, or for deeper skin tones that are naturally warm. The number '65' refers to the depth of the shade, with higher numbers indicating deeper tones.

For optimal results, cleanse, moisturize, and apply a primer suitable for your skin type. This creates a smooth canvas, helps the foundation apply evenly, and can extend its wear.

You can use a foundation brush for more coverage, a damp beauty blender for a more natural finish, or even your fingertips for a sheerer application. Start with a small amount and blend outwards, building coverage as needed.

Yes, it contains Broad-spectrum SPF 15, which helps protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays. However, for prolonged sun exposure, it's recommended to use a dedicated sunscreen with a higher SPF.

Use a dedicated makeup remover, cleansing oil, or balm to break down the foundation, followed by your regular cleanser. This ensures all traces of makeup and SPF are removed.

Yes, MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation is buildable. You can apply a thin layer for medium coverage and then add an additional thin layer to areas where you desire more coverage, blending well each time.

Ensure skin is well-hydrated and primed before application. Use less product and blend thoroughly with a damp sponge or brush. Consider a lighter application method or mixing with a small amount of moisturizer.

Apply a primer before foundation to create a smooth base and enhance longevity. Set the foundation with a fine translucent powder, especially in the T-zone, to lock it in place.

Ensure you are testing the shade on your jawline in natural light. NW65 is for deep neutral-warm undertones; if your undertone is different (e.g., cool, true neutral), this shade may not be ideal. Consider blending with another shade or seeking a shade match in person.

Allow the foundation to set for a few minutes after application. Lightly dust a setting powder over the foundation, focusing on areas prone to transfer. A setting spray can also help to fuse the makeup to your skin and reduce transfer.
