So there are obviously the studio fix, pro long wear, mineralized foundations (&maybe more) from Mac. Yet I have only ever got the studio fix foundation. I want to know what's the difference between them all?

I've used all of their foundations. I have oily skin.
Studio fix fluid- for anyone with normal to oily skin but can easily work for dry skin if you use a good moisturizer. Offers medium to fairly full coverage
Studio Fix + powder- is a powder foundation with light to medium coverage and good for normal to oily skin. It's lighter than the studio fix fluid since it's a powder. A lot of people use the studio fix fluid and studio fix powder together to get full coverage
Pro Longwear foundation- is the Longwear foundation with light to medium coverage and it's lasts for hours on my really oily skin and has a natural matte finish.
Mineralize foundation- I tried the liquid one and it's sheer to light coverage and better for dry to normal skin
Full coverage- is a pro foundation and is literally like the bigger version of the studio finish concealer. It's good for those who have a lot to cover and don't want to be layering on so much foundation. I used one layer and I'd say it went full coverage with just that
Face and body- is a lighter foundation with sheer to light coverage and doesn't look like makeup and covers up redness.
Then I've tried the airbrush one they have and it's similar to the face and body one but silicone based and has more of a slip to it
