Pros: Fairly waterproof, buildable coverage, good for fairly decent skin. Colors work a bit differently than others because they're essentially supposed to be mixed. They come in c's, and n's.
Good for dry skin... erm... tough to blend on dry skin. The dry skin tends to suck it in.
Cons. A bitch to get off, and once it sort of "sets in" it's kind of unmovable and rubbery. But. I prefer f&b to all of MAC's liquid foundations.

I absolutely LOVE Face & Body! I dont know why it doesnt get more play on the board. It looks really natural, but still covers my dark spots. I wear N12 its a perfect match for me.

Maybe... hard to say until you get it on. StudioFix is notorious for not "working" like other foundations because it's properties and reactivity with light are wonky.
Are you near an industry store that you can give it a go? Or do you need to order it?

It spoils VERY quickly, and if you need to lighten the shade they only offer a pure-white shade for this, and it becomes very muddy/ashy and cakey looking when lightened in this manner. Likewise the darker shades tend to look off and pasty. If you want something light, buildable, natural, blendable, waterproof, etc. I'd suggest MUFE's face and body.
With any foundation, on dry skin I strongly suggest a good skin-prep and skincare routine. This will help your foundation wear better and look much better.

no it isnt glowy but you will have to use some powder to set so its not too dewy, its nothing like hyper real as far as "glowy" was that what you were thinking it was like
