This is almost like a mix of MAC Studio Fix and NARS Sheer Glow, but it has more of a gel-like consistency. This foundation is also a new addition to my kit, and is a brand new product from NARS. I have worn this myself a few times and find it can get shiny throughout the day, so if I were to use it on a client with more oily skin I would make sure to use a mattifying primer and set it with a powder. At the moment I only have the shades Fiji and Barcelona in my kit, but need a few more darker shades to complete my collection. Why can't brands just sell foundations with a pump! This foundation has quickly become one of my favourites and I plan to purchase a few more shades so I have all my bases covered. Again you do need to buy the pumps separately, which is something that really annoys me. I like to have a mix of both warm and cool tones in my kit, so normally what I'll do if it is too yellow is just mix in a small amount of a more pink or beige undertone in with it. The colour range is still something I am getting used to, as almost all of the shades have a very strong yellow undertone. It's a medium to full coverage and is easily buildable, and photographs so well. This product is exactly that, and sits beautifully on the skin. Sheer Glow is a new addition to my kit, as I was finding myself looking for something similar to MAC Studio Fix but not as matte. I have the shades N1, N2, C2, C5, and N5 in my kit. I have tried to wear this myself and found it does get pretty shiny, so I only really use this for clients who have a normal to dry skin type. Keep in mind that this probably would not be suitable by itself for someone who has oily skin, as it makes the skin almost wet looking (in a nice way). I love mixing it with MAC Prolongwear Concealer, the combination of the two gives the most natural, healthy looking glow and lasts really well in hot weather. It gives your skin such a pretty glow, and smoothes over any fine lines or dry patches without looking cakey or heavy. This is my most used foundation for brides, whether they want a really natural skin or more of a flawless glowy look. My favourite way to use this is mixed with a bit of concealer or heavier coverage foundation layered on top. Now that I've gotten used to the foundation's consistency and figured out how I like to use it, I am obsessed with this product and would be lost without it! It's perfect for brides and mature clients, and sits beautifully on top of more dry skin types. You can build the coverage, but the foundation by itself can only be built up to about a light/medium coverage. The consistency is fairly watery and thin, and the coverage is similar to a BB cream or very lightweight foundation. My skin is very oily and this lasts all day on me when used with a primer and setting powder/spray.įace & Body is one of those products that I took a while to get used to, and when I worked for MAC I really wasn't that keen on it at first. Keep in mind this is a matte foundation, so if someone is really dry then you would want to use a good moisturiser and really prep their skin beforehand. You do need to buy the pumps separately which is a bit of a pain, but I normally just use a spatula to scoop out the amount of product needed. I like that the consistency is easy to blend and isn't too thick, and if I don't have the exact shade I need for a client the colours are easily mixed to get the right shade. The colour range is amazing and the undertones work really well with lots of different skin tones. It photographs beautifully and does not give any flashback, even when built up to a very full coverage. It's full coverage, has a soft matte finish, and lasts really well on the skin. Studio Fix Fluid is definitely my most used foundation in my makeup kit and I always reach for it when doing clients makeup.
