MAC Studio Fix Tech Cream To Powder Found C3.5

This MAC product was available in my shade NC25 at a retail outlet. It has a cleverly designed convenient case and it’s great that a wide range of MAC shades are available. But the product is too creamy for daytime wear on my skin. It’s hard to get even coverage and if my skin is warm (eg, after a morning shower) it shows every pore. However, Studio Tech works well as a quick evening topup on my skin before going out, especially in cooler weather. I would buy again but only at an outlet price.

Love it. It gives me that natural skin-like finish like I have beautiful flawless skin. Haven't found anything better. Only problem is that after a while I get greasy looking. But the positives outweigh the negative.

I absolutely wanted to try a cream foundation (I usually wear liquids) and bought this one. It is a failure all the way. When applying, it looks good/almost flawless. But only after few hours, the foundation fades away - dry spots are very visible - and the little foundation that is left, sets into the fine lines. Also, it is kind of irritating my skin. it leaves me with bumps. No need to say I will not repurchase or recommend (at least not to people with dry/sensitive skin).

My combo skin did not like this, it shows every dry part by my nose and separates making my pores more visible, creeps into any lines at all even with moisturizing prior and using primer applying with a foundation brush. Color I got was NC15 which also comes across slight dark on my skin light medium skin.

I've been using MAC Studio Fix Powder+Foundation since I was around 16 yrs old and love the color selection, ease of use and convenient application of powder foundation. I purchased Studio Tech while MAC Select customers received an additional 25% off. With the discount, I ended up returning the product. I noticed there are limited shades and most of the shades are yellow based (fine for my skin since I'm Asian) but for other ethnicity, you may have a harder time finding a matching shade. I didn't like feeling of the creme foundation on my skin, felt thick and oily. I have sensitive skin and I typically stay away from any "rubbing/buffing" action. I felt like I was irritating my skin by using a MAC foundation brush with this product. Too much friction. I used the MAC Prep+Prime Powder over this and didn't care for either product. Studio Fix works fine and doesn't look heavy on my skin.
