Our verdict

A matte powder foundation for people who want coverage and setting in one compact, with a sponge for wet or dry use. Dry skin may find the matte finish flat.

Overview

Pressed powder that works wet or dry is the core of MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus. A dry sponge gives medium coverage, a damp one builds to full, and the same compact sets liquid foundation and handles touch-ups through the day.

One compact replaces both foundation and setting powder, which simplifies touch-ups away from home. The matte finish suits oily skin better than dry, and this listing covers a single shade.

Who it's for

Long workdays and shiny skin call for a matte powder that can be retouched from a purse. Dry or flaky skin types tend to look powdery with it and do better with a cream base.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wet or dry application
  • Doubles as setting powder
  • Long matte wear
  • Sponge included in the compact
Cons
  • Matte finish can look flat on dry skin
  • Description and specs disagree on finish
  • Shade undertone not described

Performance notes

Coverage depends on water: a damp sponge loads more pigment and lays it down denser, while a dry sponge gives a lighter veil. Powder absorbs oil, which is what holds the matte look through the day. Dry patches grab extra powder, so moisturizer underneath matters.
