Terrible "update" to product I've been loyal to for decades
The new studio fix is awful! I've used the product since I was a TV News anchor in the 1990s. It was amazing. Long-lasting, full coverage, perfect color. Now most of it ends up in the sink, it crumbles and flakes all over the place. I've tried a couple of colors over many months and it's all the same. Not sure if this was a money-saving attempt but it is most definitely not a quality upgrade. The colors are worse (why keep the old numbers but change them to new colors??) and it's no better than any other powder out there. For the first time in 35 years I need to find a new face product. Highly disappointing!!!

Still My Favorite After 20+ Years, But the New Shade Matchin
I've been wearing MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation for over 20 years, and I honestly can't imagine using another powder foundation. It gives me the coverage I want, wears beautifully throughout the day, and has consistently been my go-to all these years. My only disappointment was with the new shade range and the online shade matching tool. The color it recommended for me was nowhere near the right match. Unfortunately, I ended up buying three different shades before I finally found the one that worked for my skin tone. Once I found the correct shade, I was just as happy with the product as I've always been. The formula is still fantastic, but I do wish the shade matching tool was more accurate because it made finding my new color an expensive process.

A perfect match!
Was wearing N5 forever but felt it got too peachy looking on me, I'm olive skinned, so thought I would try out C40 but it's way too yellow, so I've learned after all these years that I'm a neutral olive, so I was recommended the N4.5 and oh my gosh it's the perfect match!!!, unbelievable, as I was brushing it on and kept thinking it wasn't going on, that's how perfect it matches my skin tone and I'm medium skinned, so even though it says it's for light skin, it's perfect for me and I believe it will be year round perfect.👌🏻 I love it, just wish the powder texture hadn't been changed, it's like loose powder that gets all over now and a compact doesn't last as long, but maybe that's why MAC changed it?, lol

For me, it's not highly pigmented and gives full coverage. Overall good on skin!

Had to get a back up!
I loved this foundation powder! Its the number ine foundation i reach for. It looks just like skin, it does not separate and it lasts all day. I have dry skin and it does not make my skin look dry at all!

Color
I’ve been purchasing NC42 for years, and this powder is not the same color. I compared it with my previous NC42 powder, and there is a noticeable difference. Even though the shade number is the same, the color does not match what I have always used.
Terrible Update
The updated product is awful. The powder goes everywhere now during application and its runs out twice as fast. I've used this for many years and will be switching to a different brand.
