Do you use the Studio Tech too?

 

[kaexbabey]

based on your comparison pic, would you say that the studio tech is darker than sff?

Yes it is slightly darker IMO and the creamy texture...takes away the kind of powdery lighter type appearance...
Hard to explain...

I have been using Studio Tech for years in NW 45. It's the only MAC foundation I can wear that doesn't irritate my skin. Unfortunately, my last purchase of Studio Tech left me a little worried, it's like the color and consistency was different, who knows maybe they changed up the formula or I got a bad item.

I love Studio Tech, my only complaint is that if you have oily skin like myself, be prepared to touch up-touch up -touch up!

I've been meaning to get some Studio Tech after seeing SB's tut on it

YouTube - Sexy, Glowy, Dewy Skin with MAC Studio Tech!!!

it looks fab. Studio Fix Fluid is nice but it's too matte for my taste

It is my favorite mac foundation hands down but if you get oily, I suggest u set it wit a light powder. i use msf natural(deep dark). I too wear nw45 and find the color to match very well. It looks a bit red in the compact but once its applied and blended on your skin its flawless.

^^ My skin is Alligator dry....

Probably why the Sf looked ashy to me

The NC 45 is more golden in the pot...But applies really great...

i love studio tech too but alas my skin is crazy oily so i save it for special events (wedding , formal dinners etc) but i love it now that my skin is drying out a little i will try it again

Told Ya

 

[nunu]

Do you girls dab the 109 into the foundation and dot it on the face and buff it up?

I wana try!

 

[carandru]

The 109 is my best friend!! I use that brush for anything that I want to be buffed in flawlessly. I shall purchase one or two or three more.... I think I've developed the brush addiction.

I dab mine into the foundation and just do a spot application. I don't apply foundation all over my face just as needed. Then I buff away, and after that I use the same brush for my cremeblush (Laid Back) looks so goood over Studio Tech! I too think I need another 109. See Carandru, you got me spending money!

OOH OOH! Ask ANY MAC MU about the 109 and they will rave! it's like a little kept secret. That little bush air brushes!!!

i have an imitation 109 mac brush that i use to put on my studio tech. i dab my brush across the product or lightly swipe it then use my kabuki brush to buff the foundation and it works like a charm! if i dont buff the foundation into my skin it will look to heavy and creamy on me.

da hood model try using a primer before putting on your studio tech to combat the oil.

ooh I'm definately going to try this foundation out. I currently use Mineralize Satinfinish, I want more coverage so my next foundation was going to be Studio Fix; but I'll get studio tech instead!
