If you're oily-skinned but prefer a liquid foundation, you can go for Studio Fix Fluid (P1,900) and just set it with a finishing powder like Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (P1,800).

Revlon Colorstay vs MAC Studio Fix Fluid Ivory: NW15/NC15 (lightest shade of the ranges) Buff: NC20 (yellow undertone) Sand Beige: NC20-25 (with somewhat neutral undertones) Nude: NC25 (with peachy undertones, definitely not for pinks or true goldens) Natural Beige: NW20 (tends to run pink) Medium Beige: NC27 (between Sand Beige & Golden Beige). Hello beauties check-out my MAC Studio Fix Fluid vs Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup Review! Side by side it doesn't look that much different- I was too tired to try out C35 and just got NC35 but should I really have gotten C35 instead and not listen to the MA and trust my instinct? OK here's the question- if she originally matched me up with C4- is it that much different than C35? I thought C35 would have been a better match since it seems like the NC line doesn't have enough yellow or is C35 much more 'Olive' than C4?

Then I wanted to try out C35- she says this is too olive-green toned for me and NC35 would be better since she thinks I have more of a golden beige skin tone ( plus it was the color I used in the past- pretty good match but not enough yellow for me. Did the same thing but upon application the tone was off not enough yellow. Then I tried NC40- she says it's more beige than C line. She matched me with Studio Fix Powder in C4- on application it looked good but it did shift a bit and turned orange. It gives my skin a dewy look, but not to the extent of looking shiny or greasy.OK I finally got officially foundation matched by a MAC MA the other day.

The consistency of the foundation keeps my face moisturised without feeling oily, as I didn’t break out when I started using it. After that day, I knew this would be the foundation I would use for the next few years. Throughout the day, I did have to top up my foundation where it had rubbed off, but not as much as I thought. It did have a thinner consistency, so I needed to apply more than I would usually, but looking in the mirror my skin was flawless, and I definitely didn’t expect that. As I was applying it, I noticed it didn’t have the strong ‘paint’ smell that MAC foundations have. So, I knew that buying the Normal/Dry version of Revlon’s would be a better idea.Īs soon as I got home, I mixed them together to create a really nice shade that matched well with my tan. It ended up sucking in all the moisture I had on my face, making it patchy and dry.

Considering I have combination skin and suffer from spots, I immediately thought the first one.īut then I realised the problem I had with a purchase a few weeks before of MAC’s Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation. I wanted a foundation that wouldn’t slide off my face during the summer if I sweated it off, so I wanted to try Pro Longwear to see whether it would last the 15 hours it claims. The next puzzle for me was deciding whether to choose the Combination/Oily or Normal/Dry version. I decided I would buy both, and mix the two together, while it was still summer and I had a nice tan! Yes, two completely different colours, one being considerably lighter than the other, but they had the yellowy tones that MAC is known for having in their foundations which I like. I picked up two – 180 Sand Beige and 330 Natural Tan. When I went to buy it, I had no idea what colour to pick, as there wasn’t as wide a range of colours comparable to MAC’s. So, I googled a ‘drugstore’ alternative to MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid, and many people recommended Revlon’s Colorstay Foundation. I was desperate to find a foundation that was pretty much the same I wasn’t expecting anything exact as I believe you get what you pay for when it comes to foundation, but I hated the thought of going back to the products I used to use. I did a lot, and I mean a lot of research to find a cheaper alternative to MAC’s high end products. (I ran out of Studio Fix Fluid which is why I have no picture in this post) It did feel ‘cakey’ applying it to my face when I used it for the first time as it’s such a thick coverage, but I got used to it and never looked back… until September. I loved the coverage as it wouldn’t slide off my face during the day and made my skin look flawless. My favourite foundation was MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid before I came to uni. From Left to Right: Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Sand Beige – £12.49, MAC Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation in NC25 – £22.50, Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Natural TanĪfter being a lover of MAC foundation since I was 17, realising that my budget for makeup would be made hugely smaller as a student this year has forced to me to switch to a cheaper alternative.
