Chosing the right Mac Foundation?

[NoAddedSugar]

I used Studio Fix for years and I liked the coverage but I always felt a bit dry looking and too powdery. I've used Studio tech and again liked the coverage but the formula ends up sitting in my pores.

I'm oily but sensitive with a lot of red in my face (all over cheeks, nose, chin, forehead) so I need a medium coverage and something that is buildable so somedays I can be lighter and others heavier. I also want something that isn't ultra matte looking just a bit natural.

Do you think Studio Fix fluid and blot powder would be a good combo for me?

I only use Select SPF 15 liquid foundation, so I can't speak for Studio Fix Fluid

I reckon blot powder is a great thing to have. I carry my blot powder pressed anywhere I go!

i'd give SFF a try. its a natural matte finish, so it looks like your skin but has a bit of a matte finish. its also a medium-full coverage, and builds easily without getting cakey. then use blot to touch up with when you get shiny.

Im in the same position as the OP, Studio tech was reccomended to me. Does anyone else agree? thank u

I love my studio fix fluid. It is very buildable and i love the coverage.

i think studio fix fluid is your best bet. are you using a primer? that might also help with your makeup settling into your pores.

Hi, I have trouble with primers because of my sensitivity and also finding a primer that works with my skin most are too siliconey. I laugh at myself because I always use a primer or a mattifying lotion on my clients and think they are great but when I use them on myself I hate it.

At the moment I am using Maybelline Pure Minerals foundation, which I really like but as its getting colder and winter seems to be coming early this year I am thinking of changing to a fluid.
