Select SPF 15 vs Studio Fix Fluid

[BeautyPsycho]

I want to buy a liquid foundation and I think these two are the best choice for me... but I'm not sure which one is better?!
I have combination/oily skin... (sometimes VERY oily...) my cheeks can be dry (nothing major) and I do have blackheads (ew, i know) and pimples here and there (that I would like to cover)
I want something that will (hopefully) not brake me out and make my skin look as perfect as possible...

What would you recommend? What are your experiences?

Thank you!

i use the studio fix fluid just bought it last week i have combination skin also and i found this has great coverage, it seems haevy when you put it on but once its on its really comfortable and skin looks flawless, i find i need a foundation brush to apply it x

lol...i thought I used SFF but I was looking at the bottle, and it's Select Spf..I love it. It's good coverage. It looks really good.

i love SFF but i'm thinking about trying something new.

I'm going to MAC today, so I'm gonna check out both *If not more*

I hope I'll find something good for me.

I really like the SFF myself! It looks very very natural.

Select SPF 15 broke me out. I have combo skin as well. :/

I have normal/combo skin and the select spf gave me clogged pores and tiny little white pimples. It went on blotchy an turned orange.
I much prefer SFF. The shades stay more true and doesn't turn, gives good coverage, and it's quite matte. My only problem is that the formula is a bit thick for my skin so I have to sheer it out or wear it with moisturizer.

I have super oily skin too. I love my SFF, in fact I'm into my 3rd bottle. It never breaks me out and I like its coverage. To control my oilies I put Proactiv's Daily Oil Control and then Prep and Prime. I find that I'm not that oily when I do that.

I have combination skin, oily in the t-zone and then dry around my cheeks / eyes. For about 6 months I used MACS studio fix fluid, I loved the coverage. But I have acne prone skin, and blackheads on my nose, and I found that it made my acne worse... the liquid just seemed to create such a bacterial backup in my pores (and yes I wash my face twice a day), it caused me to have bad breakouts, and Ive had acne all my life so I figured.... just stick with it, its not going to get any better. But one day I stopped using it and switching to Bare Minerals.... my acne has gone down 30 percent atleast... its amazing. I was definitely against powders because of the dry skin on my cheeks and around my eyes, but it worked great. I know you were looking for a liquid foundation, but with your skin type... I think theres a chance MAC liquids could make you break out. Give it a try for yourself though and see how you do, thats the only way you'll know, the coverage is definitely great though!

I'd recommend SFF. The Select SPF made me look so chalky. Plus, I think it kinda gave me some breakout.

Studio Fix Fluid ight be a bit too heavy if you have oily skin. I would suggest getting a sample of each foundaton and see how it workd with your skin.

Thank you all so much. I got SFF two weeks ago and I love it... But(!) now I started breaking out kinda bad so I'm not sure if its because of SFF or maybe charged water-renewal defense (I started using this maybe a week ago)

How do I figure it out? Stop using both products or...

i recommend not studio fix fluid, it's sooo fake looking. unless you need a LOT of coverage you should try the select coupled with blot or MSF skinfinish..it's just beautiful and natural looking
