Cakey, Clogging, Crap
If you are looking for something similar to wall paper paste you may have found your ideal foundation. I came across this foundation on the recommendation of a friend who had flawless skin. I headed straight to the MAC store and splashed out £15 for a bottle. I used it for around 6 months, I don't know how I lasted that long. It clogged every pore on my face, but it was an accumulative effect. I didn't realise that this had anything to do with my slowly, but surely clogging pores. Of course, a serious breakout ensued and I remedied this by piling on more foundation. The foundation itself is thick, heavy and cakey. It sticks in lines on your face and gives you a chalky, pasty appearance. Studio Fix Fluid was actually created to be used as stage makeup. Please, please avoid this if you have acne prone skin. It is the most clogging foundation I have ever used.

Not good for acne skin
Years ago before I had bad acne I quite liked this foundation. Last year during a major breakout and with VERY bad oily skin I gave this another go.... not good for acne skin. Made me break out MUCH more and clogged my pores really badly and also made them appear more visible.

Caused terrible acne
I went to the MAC counter looking for a foundation with a good coverage and the lady offered me the studio fix fluid and tried it on me and I loved it! However after only wearing it for 4 days I now have terrible acne, which I have never had before, I occasionally get a few spots but nothing like this. My face was completely covered in spots and was incredibly sore, stay away from it!

Can I ask what you did to get rid of the acne? I got my makeup done for my birthday awhile back and since I break out regularly. I never use to have acne, I mean maybe once a month one little spot. I never had to use concealer but if I did I would never break out. I've spent so much money on products. I'm considering a dermatologist although I don't believe my insurance will cover it. Searching for solutions!

Please don't purchase
Hi, well I have always used double wear, I love the coverage off it but fancyed something new. I went to the counter at Mac and got persuaded to buy the bb cream with the primer in it ( terrible) the concealer (shows every line and crease) the foundation (broke my full face out in massive spots. I do have mild acne but now it looks so bad there is not one inch of my face now that does not have a spot) and the powder ( looked translucent even though it was not meant to be). In the store she showed me how to apply it all and she told me that NC35 was my natural colour. Ok well I looked orange when I tried it at home. I could not contour as it was so dark. I am naturally sallow skinned but I have a red face from the acne and Anne treatments. I honestly looked so terrible. I went into work and everyone was like what have you done to your face. Please lovly ladies don't buy it. X

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:

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!

Don't buy/use this foundation!!!

At first that I bought this foundation i was so impressed with the coverage and how my skin looks after applying it on my face so I kept on using it for 2months but after few weeks i've been starting to notice that im getting pimples so i stopped my cleanser,  moisturiser etc.  I stopped everything that im using but I still kept on using this foundation because it can hide my acne.  I tried different products,  my acne keeps on getting worse every week.  That's only when I realised that this foundation caused my really bad acne. Before I used this foundation my skin was really nice and smooth.  I will never use this again.  Now,  i just went to my GP And started drinking minocycline and putting ointment in my acne it is now getting better but the acne scars that it caused by this foundation maybe months or years before it will disappear! I am really disappointed and really regret using this foundation!! NEVER AGAIN!!

Way to heavy
Too heavy and it had these little sparkles in it. That probably what caused my breakouts when I was using this. Also gave a white cast people told me.

Not worth the disaster and dermatologist bills afterwards
Amazing coverage and flawless Hollywood star picture effect, however the 'price' you have to pay for. After using this product for about the months - on and off..OMG my skin is so bad. Breakouts everywhere and a few cystic acne as well. I have had clear skin all my life and this breakout is really really bad to the point that I am stresssed out and embarrassed to go out. It took me sometime to figure out what was causing the breakout and am glad I finally did. During Christmas I stopped using the product as I was home for a week and my skin was better. I used it twice last week and my face is on full on breakout mode again. Now it's apparent which product is the culprit. As for the scar, I am using Estée Lauder synchronised recovery serum - has been using for 6 years now and it has once again proven its value, its worth every penny. Conclusion ditch the studio fix - not worth the disaster afterwards.
