Best MAC foundation?

Dec 27, 2015

I'm going to a MAC store tomorrow and buy a foundation, powder and concealer. What's your favorite MAC foundation? After reading about them, I think I'm going to buy the studio fix fluid, but I'm not sure. I also have no idea of which powder or concealer I'm going to purchase. Please help, ladies!

My personal fave is matchmaster and it's the one I usually recommend to people.

If you do studio fix you should get the mineralized skin finish natural powder to set it. Studio Fix powder is a foundation also not a setting powder (some people use it over top of studio fix fluid and that = cake face)

I also love the studio fix concealer, I use it to brighten up my under eyes. But the prolong wear concealer is a top seller m.

Depends on your skin type and skintone.

Studio Fix Fluid has medium/high coverage but even though they added new shades some very fair skinned girls found that the new fairer shade isn't fair enough.
AND it does transfer a bit but it makes your face look amazingly smooth and just amazing.

There's also the pro Longwear foundation which is good if you're oily.
One of my least favorites, has light to medium coverage. It doesn't transfer much if at all but throughout the day it would crease and make my pores look horrible.

Then there's the pro Longwear nourishing waterproof foundation which I love, best applied thinly with your fingers and really does last the whole day. They do have lighter shades with this foundation too.

As for concealer, their pro Longwear one works great but if you want one for blemishes/ fuller coverage I prefer their studio finish concealer.

As for powder I love the Palladio Rice powder from Sally's but if you want a MAC powder then I think the Blot Powder is pretty good for setting/touch ups if you get oily.
Some love the mineralize powder but I find that it's nothing special, it doesn't make you super matte but that's about it.
Some people use the studio fix powder to set their foundation but since it's a foundation it can easily make your face end up cakey especially if you use it to touch up when you're oily.

I'm not sure but it have the studio fix powder and there's the powder plus foundation in the same compact form
I personally don't like the mineralized skin finish powder, I use the prep and prime powder

Thank you for your help! I think I'll go with the studio fix fluid foundation, the studio fix concealer for highlight and the pro longwear concealer for blemishes. As for powder, I think I'll just keep using what I have now :)

I don't have oily skin nor dry skin, so I think the studio fix foundation will do the trick. The lady at MAC recommended the face&body foundation for me, I don't know why but I will not take her advice on that one.
I'll post a picture with the products on as soon as I try them :-D
