Studio Fix foundation not suitable for everyday use?

[LadyLaundale]

And, just putting my two cents in:

MAC's Full Coverage foundation (Pro Product) is the exact same as the Studio Finish concealor that's sold in the tiny pot. A Pro Store MA told me this when I was building my MA kit. So, it's tough for me to imagine that wearing it daily would be a big problem, since the exact same product is sold as a concealor for consumer use.

I think if you cannot wear it daily, what's the point of having it? I can't wear MAC foundation at all, it breaks me out. Plus I just think it looks mask-like and there are so many better products on the market outside of MAC.

i wore studio fix and it made my skin red and dry. :/ is there any other MAC foundation that won't do the same thing? is there a different formula than studio fix, and is studio fix foundation (liquid) the same as the pressed powders, because i really want to try it.

then your ma is on crack! the foundations with the word "studio" in them were made specifically for studio use when they came first came out. they are still safe to use everyday.

the studio fix fluid is just a liquid version of the studio fix. they do have different finishes tho. sff is a natural matte, where studio fix is a straight up matte. it just depends on what one you are more comfortable using (liquid or powder) and the finish you want.

Hell the metal pigments can catch fire. There is definately stuff there I wouldnt use daily, or even weekly... BUT... If it was a counter at a Nordstroms or wherever I would just assume she was a noob and really has no clue, or is just clueless. At the freestanding stores the MA's seem to be a bit more knowledgable than counters.

so which products wouldn't you use weekly or daily... let us in on the info!

hey, don't single us counter girls out as less knowledgable

. we all learn about the same products (except for stuff we don't carry at the counter - even then we learn some stuff about it). like you said, some people are new or just don't care to learn about stuff.

ok... can you imagine what the MAC artist who have been working with MAC for years would look like if this statement were true? lol. it'd be pretty scary. it's fine to use all the time. that's why we wash our faces at night time, or else I'd have a full face 24/7

I would take offense to this but I'm not.

Not all of us working at coutner are clueless, some are just misinformed at times. LOL
