This is my holy grail powder. I use this to set my foundation in place it gives me such a flawless look . Another great thing about this foundation is it can be used on its own.
I use this dry with just a powder brush, or with some fix+ spray and a buffing brush - it provides light to medium coverage. However, it can be a bit drying for some skin types and for the price point, I tend to shy away from it. I have used it as a setting powder a few times but I found that many drugstore products can be used to achieve the same finish. once again, the service that I receive in store weighs heavily on my willingness to repurchase.
This truly is the best face powder you'll ever use! It is however a bit pricey but you pay for quality. It keeps your skin shine and oil free for hours on end! This is definitely something every woman needs in her handbag! Love it!
I find it a bit pricey and it tends to make me shiny as the day progresses but I love what it does to my complexion. It gives me a flawless look and a glow that makes me feel like a million bucks.
Being one of my first ever make-up splurges at the tender age of 18, this unassuming compact has remained a staple in my beauty box for six years and counting.
I was never foundation-friendly, being a brown girl at varying degrees on different parts of my body, I avoided the "ombre" look along my face & neck like a plague!
Furthermore, I despised the diluted pasty texture of foundation and always preferred wearing minimal make-up, so naturally, this product ticked all the boxes!
A light-weight powder with a dash of tint, this product provides medium coverage without the cake, the crease or the crack!
Simple enough to apply on the go and sophisticated enough to fit in any bag, this is the ultimate powder.
It has a long-lasting matte finish whilst still allowing your skin to breathe. It can be used on its own for a natural look without the shine or as a setting powder.
My only advice is that when looking for a match, take lighting into consideration. MAC stores generally use white light, so the shade can sometimes differ from what it looked like when it was applied in store.
This delightful 2 in 1 provides buildable coverage without stealing the glowy, yellow undertone of my skin. As a brown girl, perfectly coloured foundation is a rare match which is why I appreciate my MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation so much more. It blends well, does not elicit breakouts and offers a natural finish. There is no caking, no chalking and absolutely no two toning!
the powder is great it doesn't make face feel oily. it has great coverage. using with a brush is much better than using with an applicator. i use that with my concealer after my daily beauty regime and it looks great.
I like how versatile this powder is. You can wear it on its own, after your moisturizer and sunscreen of course, with a BB cream or with foundation if you are looking for full coverage. I wear it with my Clinique superprimer colour correct in deeper skins and it looks amazing. Have tried it with foundation as a powder and I cannot complain. It does come with a sponge applicator but I would suggest using a brush rather than the sponge. For me I have found better results with a brush, but its totally up to what one is comfortable with. It's not long-wearing though so you have to re-apply and I have found that in the winter months it does not go on as nicely as it does in summer. I really love this product. It has found a spot in my top makeup have-to-have list.
I purchased this in NC43.5, i find that it gives a smooth airbrushed finish whether i use it on its own or over my foundation. I find it to be quiet heavy though and would not wear it during the day time, this is perfect for night or if you are looking for a flawless full coverage. It has its pros and cons, but not my personal favourite, but it is definitely something i would reach for in an emergency!
