I will agree that it is lightweight and fairly long-wearing. And as far as working "undercover," for me it worked undercover to damage my skin.

STUDIO FIX MAC INGREDIENTS SKIN

Though it did not win the Beauty Smackdown, you should still try it out only if you don't have sensitive skin.ĭoes it live up to its claim? The site says it " works to protect against sun damage and external assaults while simultaneously diffusing imperfections" and "achieves a flawless finish while working 'undercover' to provide your skin with superior skincare protection." It also says that "daily use improves skin's ability to repair itself and guard against UVA and UVB damage" and the "lightweight, long-wearing foundation provides natural-looking medium to full coverage for all skin types." Since it has SPF 15 sunscreen in it, it must protect against sun damage. I wish I didn't have to let it go, but anyway you slice it, nice looking makeup over irritated, breakout infected skin just isn't very nice. The color looked great, and the Magic Powder topped it off very nicely. The worst part of it was that though my skin was severely irritated, it looked amazing. Needless to say once I stopped using the foundation, everything was back to normal. I finally went to get a facial and I was told that whatever I used ended up irritating my skin to the point that it looked severely windburned. I stopped using the face creams and cleansers and continued to use the Flawless, though I still had irritation. When my skin started becoming irritated and breaking out worse and in a different way than ever before, I just assumed it was the facial regimen. The same day I bought the foundation I also bought a new facial regimen from a different line. I thought I was finally able to try something other than my old faithful Studio Fix. Her skin looked "flawless" and she told me she used a mix of the Flawless foundation and Magic Powder. I was very excited to try Prescriptives' Flawless Skin foundation especially after seeing how good it looked on my friend Karissa's skin. As far as long-wearing, it stays on for a long time but does not necessarily look good for a long time.Ĭolor Quality: 4 out of 5 - a Prescriptives salesperson evaluated my skin color and matched it very closely.Ĭoverage: 3 out of 5 - medium coverage (worked best with Magic Powder) Though it has a matte texture once it is first applied, it does not absorb enough oils for it to maintain the matte finish. Oil blotters are essential! On another note, as long as I change the sponge regularly I seldom get breakouts as a result of the foundation.ĭoes it live up to its claim? The site claims it "is a powder and foundation in one that combines good coverage with ease of application." It also claims to maintain "a matte finish by absorbing oils on the skin, as well as Talc to provide a smoother, less reflective, matte finish" and "is long-wearing." I agree that it provides good coverage and is easy to apply. The problem is, even though it is a powder, my T-zone always gets shiny when I use it. I am happy that the C6 color looks very close to my skin tone. It looks lighter than your skin shade when it first is applied, but once it settles and mixes with your skin's natural oils, it darkens a bit (so don't be worried if it looks pasty when you first put it on). I wear Studio Fix just about every day and it usually lasts me about six months. One caveat about the sponge is that you should change it every 1-2 months. Some people like to use a brush instead for lighter coverage. It comes with a fantastic sponge that applies the color smoothly and evenly. Studio Fix is a powder makeup that goes on with as much coverage as a cream foundation. And oh, by the way, my skin is sensitive! So until more companies develop quality makeup for women of color, I'm stuck. The truth is, I am a black woman who likes a full coverage foundation that does not look like stage makeup. It's not that I am stuck in my ways and have a hard time changing.

I have been wearing MAC Studio Fix foundation in C6 for almost 10 (EEK!) years. Also has tendency to settle into crevices of face. Length of Wear: 3.5 out of 5 - skin gets oily after a few hours. Color Quality: 3.5 out of 5 - very close to my skin color
