Greetings fellow Divas! I am new to the board and have been an avid MAC wearer for the past 5 years. I love studio fix (NW43) it gives me awesome coverage and the illusion of a flawless complexion!
- The Studio Fix is priced at around $35 and the Stay Matte powder is only $6.50. They show the same finish and the same coverage, but the price difference is huge!
- Revlon Nearly Naked. Dupes for Urban Decay's Naked Skin and MAC's Studio Fix Powder. Best drugstore foundation combo for us pale gals.
They come in two different types of foundations, one for oily/combination and one for dry/normal. As you can guess Dry/Normal is more moisturising and Oily/Combination is for Oily skin! They last alllllllllllll day seriously they do not move! Which is why i <3 them! I have more of a Dry skin and i use to the Oily/Combination foundation, i just moisturise well before using them!
Drugstore Dupe For Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus
MAC is £19.50:MAC Fix Fluid is brilliant foundation also i would say it medium to buildable foundation, i would say it would last 5/6 hrs not as long as Revlon and i would start to get quite shinny around the usual spots (nose, forehead chin.) Here is a good video about MAC's foundation range:
So there is a good we bargain to be had if you want to try them instead of MAC Fix Fluid. However i would recommend them just to the NW lovers as there shades i feels have more pink undertones, but they do have one or two neutral shades in there to i would use Nude and I’m a NC25 however there is very little yellow pigment in comparison to my beloved Simpson look! This shade i would use when my tan has worn of a good bit but still the colour is very good & suits allot of skins so have a little nosey!
I would apply my MAC studio fix fluid with a MAC 187:
I would apply my Revlon colour stay with a Illamasqua highlighter brush:
Before applying my Revlon & studio fix i would spray my face with this bad boy which i also use for my eyebrows (see my eyebrow post)
It just makes the application easier and you can alter the coverage of the foundation.
They also carry a foundation called Revlon photoready Makeup. This foundation I’m in love with ATM! Would not be suitable for oily skins but it has a little glow base to it and its perfect for summer. The shades are far better than the Colour stay. So if you like a little glow to your skin have a look at these also:* ALLOW ALL YOUR FOUNDATIONS 2-5 MINUTES TO SET BEFORE APPLY ANY POWDER!!!
