LetвЂ™s just get straight to the review shall we?Дў. IвЂ™ve found my match with the shade вЂ“ 3.0 & IвЂ™m a MAC NC42, Maybelline Fit Me 240 & Makeup Forever 153! IвЂ™m talking about the PAC HD Studio Foundation! If youвЂ™re looking for a matte fluid foundation in the MAC line that does absolutely everything, Studio Fix Fluid is the one.Another day another foundation thatвЂ™s been launched in India!Д«ut wait, this oneвЂ™s from our very own brand вЂ“ PAC Cosmetic! I can still see my freckles peeking through, but everything will be evened out in my overall complexion.

ItвЂ™s very вЂњmy skin but better,вЂќ which I know sounds so trite, but itвЂ™s true.

IвЂ™ll mix Studio Fix with a small dollop of Strobe Cream in shade NC 42 on the back of my hand, apply that with my fingers, buff it down gently with a kabuki brush, and set with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder, and the final look has a touch of pearly pink sheen. I use Pinklite, which is the new name for the original Strobe Cream. I also love, LOVE a little bit of Strobe Cream mixed in.

ItвЂ™s also lightweight and incredibly comfortable, and if you want to go sheerer than medium because youвЂ™re aiming for a natural look where your freckles peek through a bit, you can just mix it with something in your arsenal, like a face oil (which IвЂ™ve done before it lends a dewy finish to it). And if youвЂ™re going to a party or have a bridal shower or baby shower to go to, and you know that thereвЂ™s going to be lots of pictures taken, this is a great foundation for special events like that, because it evens out your skin and completely вЂњmattesвЂќ it down without looking or feeling heavy. OK?! ItвЂ™s great for that flawless, full-coverage finish. Like, my club days are so far behind me, so IвЂ™m not wearing Studio Fix all night long anymore, LOL! I do wear it all day long now, though, and I know that I can wake up at the crack of dawn, put this on, and when I take off my makeup at night, my foundation will look just as fresh as it did that morning.Д«ut my favorite thing about it is that itвЂ™s more flexible than an Olympic-caliber gymnast.

The long-running Unsung Heroes series features some of my favorites. WhatвЂ™s an unsung makeup hero? For me, itвЂ™s an oftentimes underrated makeup morsel, a permanent collection product that scoots under the radar screen of many makeup lovers but regularly rocks my world. It completely obliterates oil without drying out my combo skin. I donвЂ™t see any shiny spots there when I use Studio Fix. It sucks it all up! I can really tell when IвЂ™m looking between my eyebrows, which is the oiliest area on my face. Of all the MAC liquid foundations, I think Studio Fix is the best at controlling oil.

You can easily ramp up the coverage to full by using additional layers, but I wouldnвЂ™t use more than two or three, because you can completely mask red areas and pigmentation spots with just two layers, IвЂ™m not kidding, and if you go beyond three, it starts to look cake face-y. Wearing Studio Fix in NC42, set with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium GoldenДЄ medium-coverage matte liquid foundation, Studio Fix is one of my two all-time fave MAC foundations (the other one is Face and Body).
