Good coverage but very comedogenic!
Don't get me wrong....the coverage is amazing. First time I found a foundation that looked natural on me but I started noticing myself breaking out with tiny lumps all over my cheeks, jawline and forehead. This product is definitely NOT non-comedogenic. Unfortunately I still use it to cover my acne as I haven't purchased anything new and each time I'd break out.

Pimples everywhere
I wanted to give it one star but ugh I just love how the foundation. I was looking for a new foundation for an event I was going too and bought this one. Ive heard so many good reviews about how good coverage it gives. It did give a wonderful coverage but after I took it off....my face just broke out all over. Little tiny dots all over my chin and jawline. Pimples all over my forehead and cheeks. It was horrible it lasted for a good 2 months until I couldn't take it and went to the doctor.

What did the doctor tell you to do ?

Not for acne prone skin
I have very acne prone skin and went to make hoping to find something to help with coverage about 2 years ago. The MAC lady recommended the studio fix liquid so I purchased it. Had great coverage but I immediately began breaking out. Literally hours after applying. I used it for about 2 weeks hoping for a change that never occurred. Now I'm stuck with a product I can't use. I don't recommend this for those suffering with acne

Pros:

Covers well and lasts the whole day
Perfect colour match

Cons:

Breakouts in areas where I used the foundation
Oily, despite being the most "matte" liquid foundation of the mac range

The temporary effects of the foundation are good, its good coverage and blends well. Thick, so it covers acne and scars. HOWEVER, has made me break out tremendously levaing scars that I've had for over a year :( which have now multiplied! Wish I read these reviews before I bought it and used it for so long. If you have acne do not buy this I am now suffering the consequences with these acne scars. Boo :(

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.

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.

Pros:

Med-Full Coverage

Cons:

Expensive
Makes you look really oily (unless you set it but even afterwards it will show again)
Made me break out!
No pump (you have to buy it separately)

At first I was so excited to try this foundation! Heck I was estatic! It cost me about $50 since I bought the concealer too. Anyways, I always have had acne and before I started using this product my acne was in pretty good shape. I was loving this product but given a couple of weeks of using this product I thought my face was fine and BOOM! OMG, I had the worst breakout EVER! I was mortified! I was actually convincing myself that maybe its the time that I get this crazy breakout! But to think of it now, I don't think so! Because of the full coverage it does I think thats what made me breakout crazy! It was clogging my pores! *Sigh* Until to this day I still have those breakouts and I am trying to find ways to heal it. Hell, I even have scars too now! Im in the process of trying out the natural remedy thats on here. This product may not have worked for me but maybe it'll work for you! After all everyone has different types of skin it just depends if your skin can tolerate it!
