Overview

Not a liquid and not a pressed powder, the MAC Studio Fix Tech is a cream that sets to a powder finish. A fluffy brush gives a lighter layer and the included sponge builds medium coverage that resists sweat.

A matte finish that holds through humidity suits hot days and oily skin. The sponge must be swapped every few weeks to stay clean.

Who it's for

Humid climates, long days and oily skin needing a matte look. Dewy-finish fans should choose a liquid foundation.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Sweat and humidity resistant
  • Buildable medium coverage
  • Sponge stored in compartment
Cons
  • Sponge needs regular replacing
  • Matte may dull dry skin

Performance notes

The cream glides on and then dries to a powder, which grips the skin and resists sweat. Brushing gives a sheer layer, while pressing with the sponge packs on more coverage.
