MAC Studio Fix Foundation: Look like a Picture Everyday

When it comes to make-up, I've had my share of awkward phases, especially when it comes to choosing foundation. I can recall at least three times I've had a guy tell me something about my foundation, two of which went along the lines of "blend it in" and "I can see your make-up line" and the third more like "I think there's make-up on your shirt." And why is it always the guys you have a small crush on that tell you or the one guy who you've been friends with since elementary school that... isn't straight? Embarrassed? Yes, but also thankful.

I've had my share of liquid foundation, pressed power, and compact cream. I've also had my share of picking the wrong shades for my face, constantly, until one of my best friends actually told me it was off by a big difference... on prom day (and let me tell you, the solution is NOT extending foundation use on your neck to cover up your shade mishap).

The same best friend who told me my shade selection was off also told me about M.A.C.'s Studio Fix Foundation. Like a good friend, who realizes that she has a job and I didn't, she bought me a little round black compact and told me to try it. Was that love at first sight, or what?

"Studio Fix is a powder and foundation in one that combines good coverage with ease of application. Designed to be used dry, the powder and pigments create a matte, velvety texture. It contains Silica, which helps to maintain a matte finish by absorbing oils on the skin, as well as Talc to provide a smoother, less reflective, matte finish. The talc has been milled to a microscopic size to provide a beautiful texture while allowing the skin to breathe. This product is long-wearing. It is available in a wide range of colours. It can be applied with a brush, sponge, or a powder puff." - from www.maccosmetics.com
