Higly comedogenic, clogs n break you out
I am user of Mac studio fix fluid foundation n it's biggest fan. If looks damn beautiful on skin, gives full coverage n makes your face look like a perfectly painted canvas but the worst part comes later. It breaks you out like hell. It took me two years to understand the cause of my breakout. I never broke before, it was just like once in a blue moon concept. I got married in 2012, thenafter I started using Mac for beautiful coverage. It made me braekout with big huge cysts. But it was too hard to believe as their makeup artist claimed that it can't breakout any kinda skin. Then I got pregnant in 2015 n gradually stopped using that much makeup I.e. Mac studio fix. Within few days my acne cleared n my skin looked clean. Since then I stopped using Mac foundations n my skin is free from acne completely. Now m in search of equivalent beautiful foundation especially which gives yellow finish just like mac but with no breakout. Plzz suggest Regards

Pros:

Amazing coverage! Makes skin look flawless. Many colors to match skin perfectly.

Cons:

Very thick and caused massive break-outs.

I loved the coverage so much, but I had to stop using this because of the breakouts. I do still keep it for special occassions.

Real-life photoshop, but the consequences are terrible
I wish I hated this foundation. It's the only one that looks like actual perfection on my skin, it covers everything (I suffer with acne -not cystic- and a looooooooot of post-acne red spots that once they're left behind, they legitimately never fade). I can't describe how beautiful it looks on the skin. But once it's removed, the next day I started getting red areas across my face, which have turned into numerous painful acne as well as blackheads and pus-filled pimples. After 2 weeks of application, my skin is finally calming down with reactions. Unfortunately, as I said, the post-acne spots never fade on me as I'm white as snow, I'm bound to left with those ugly reminders of this foundation even after acne is completely gone.

If you want to f**k your face, go get this
So. I'm giving it two starts just cause it has an amazing shade palette and I love the consistence and also the coverage is amazing. When you don't have acne prone skin, go get this for sure. But if you have, don't buy it. I went in Mac being considered that I will buy the best make up that I can and I asked for something that can cover. She gave me studio fix. Yes it was perfect color and covered everything. And yes in one week I had perfect pimples all over my face 😂 I didn't realize it's the make up and I continued using it another 2 months until I realize that I'm doing something wrong with the make up. I stoped using it and everything got fine. So for me never again :) but quality is nice.

Pros:

Full Coverage

Cons:

Oily Skin
Conjestion
Little Pimples which have stayed there for years
Black heads/ White heads

Bottom Line would be do not use this makeup if you have acne skin. I used this from the age of 16-20years old and my skin is liturally a mess because of it. If only i had stuck to mineral makeup or better yet wore nothing at all, i wouldn't have a the problems i do now. In all honestly its great to have full coverage, but this makeup is terrible especially if your using it everyday for years on end.

Pros:

Great coverage
Helps oily skin
Did not break me out
Has an SPF of 15

Cons:

Price
wish it had a pump instead

This make up helps with oily skin, it dries matte. There's many shades to choose from. Although it was expensive it's worth it. Buildable coverage (medium to full).

Pros:

It gave me a good coverage and it has lots of colors to choose from.

Cons:

It has a awful smell, it broke me out so bad in cysts and in tiny bumps all over my skin, and its way to over priced.

DONT GET IT PLEASE SAVE YOUR $26!

Pros:

Great finish
Thick but a good oil-free alternative to similar products (like Napoleon Perdis)
Makes skin look flawless

Cons:

Expensive

I used Napoleon Perdis Light Diffusing makeup for years as my 'going out' foundation on weekends. It always made my skin look amazing - healthy and dewy, but because it was so heavy and oily I would break out a week after using it. This is the best alternative I have found.

Breaks me out
I can't say i didn't help me to coverage my acne/scars, it have a really good coverage, but it feels kind of heavy, but it looks amazing when you put it in your skin, looks natural with one layer. After weeks, it breaks me out so badly, now I have pimples in my cheeks and in my forehead, I will buy another foundation, and return this. Very disappointed.

Use Sparingly
I bought this foundation on a splurge in the summer after my birthday and had it colour tested. I would like to mention the girls in the store did not do the foundation justice as they all looked as if they had wall paper paste on their faces. I was warned about oxidising and how I should apply in small layers with a stippling brush, but in store it looked fine, just a tad overdone. I tried this out a few days later to see it was thick, hard to blend and cakey, so I left it for a powder foundation instead. I tried it consistantly to find the colours and consistency was way off until recently when I pulled it out. I used a tiny amount with a damp beauty blender and blended it evenly down my neck and it looked fine. I added a little bit more and powdered and it didn't cake at all. Overall verdict - Use thin layers and slowly build it up.
