Product Information

Full details

The MAC Studio Fix Soft Matte Foundation Stick in NW35 is designed for individuals with medium skin tones and warm undertones who desire a professional, buildable coverage solution. Its primary benefit is the combination of a natural matte finish with a convenient, portable stick format that makes quick touch-ups seamless, though users with extremely dry skin should ensure they moisturize well beforehand to prevent the matte formula from clinging to dry patches.

FAQs

Is the NW35 shade suitable for cool undertones?

No, NW35 is specifically formulated for medium skin tones with warm undertones.

Can I use this stick for contouring?

Yes, you can select a shade two to three levels darker than your skin tone to use as a cream contour.

Does this foundation provide full coverage?

The formula is buildable from medium to high, allowing you to achieve full coverage by layering in specific areas.

Does this product require a primer?

While not strictly required, using a hydrating primer can help the matte finish sit more comfortably on the skin.

How should I clean the surface of the stick?

You can gently wipe the surface with a clean tissue or spray with an alcohol-based brush cleaner if you need to sanitize it.

Is this foundation oil-free?

The MAC Studio Fix stick is formulated to provide a non-greasy matte finish, but always check the ingredients label on the packaging for specific sensitivities.

Troubleshooting

Foundation looks cakey

Ensure your skin is properly hydrated and exfoliated, and use a damp makeup sponge to sheer out the application.

Difficulty blending

Apply the product to a palette or the back of your hand to warm it up slightly with your fingers before applying to the face.

Product breaking inside tube

Do not twist the stick up more than a quarter-inch during use to maintain structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly portable and travel-friendly packaging
  • Buildable coverage from medium to full
  • Easy to apply for targeted concealing
  • Smooth, creamy texture that blends effortlessly
  • Ideal for touch-ups throughout the day

Cons

  • May require extra hydration for very dry skin types
  • Stick format can be less hygienic than pump bottles
  • May set quickly, requiring prompt blending
  • Limited shade range compared to liquid foundations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your skin, ensure it is cleansed and well-moisturized before application; the matte formula adheres best to prepped skin. To avoid product breakage, only twist the stick up slightly during application. For optimal longevity, you can set the foundation with a light dusting of translucent powder. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the formula from melting or losing its creamy texture. Always replace the cap tightly after every use to prevent the product from drying out.
