Natural Finish 

With a few simple tricks you can use your MAC Studio Fix Fluid to create a natural, skin-like finish. 

  1. Begin by applying MAC Prep + Prime Skin all over your complexion, gently smoothing the product into your skin. 
  2. Pour a small amount of MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation on to the back of your hand to ensure you apply just the right amount of product. 
  3. Taking MAC Prep + Prime Fix+, spritz your brush until slightly damp. 
  4. Using the damp brush, take Studio Fix from the back of your hand and lightly apply all over your skin, starting from the centre of your face. 
  5. Finally, complete your look by misting MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ all over your complexion. 

Dewy Finish 

With a little more coverage and an ultra-radiant finish, the dewy finish is the perfect look for those who want to conceal imperfections without compromising their glow. 

  1. Prep the skin with MAC Strobe Cream in the shade Pinklite, smoothing the product over your entire complexion, down your neck and on to the body to highlight your décolletage. 
  2. Pour a little MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation on to the back of your hand and damp your brush with MAC Fix+ Original Setting Spray all over your complexion concentrating mostly on the centre portion of your face. 
  3. Touch up the skin with the Studio Radiance 24HR Luminous Lift Concealer, enriched with hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, while covering imperfections and dark circles. 

Full Matte Finish 

Create a matte complexion which lasts all day and all night long using your MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation. 

  1. Prep the skin with MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance in Yellow, smoothing the product over your complexion to leave your skin smooth and even. 
  2. Apply an even layer of MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation with a dry brush for full coverages. 
  3. Touch-up and brighten your complexion with the MAC Studio Fix 24-Hour Liquid Concealer. Apply underneath your eyes, on to blemishes and on any areas of pigmentation to create a flawless base. 
  4. Mattify your look and set your makeup in place with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder by dusting the product all over the skin very lightly with a powder brush.

From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
