MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF15 - NC41

Yes, this fluid foundation is designed to be buildable. Start with a thin layer for medium coverage and apply additional thin layers to areas where more coverage is desired until you achieve your preferred look.

The Broad Spectrum SPF15 offers daily sun protection for incidental exposure. For prolonged time outdoors or intense sun, it's highly recommended to use a separate, higher SPF sunscreen underneath or in conjunction with your foundation.

For a natural finish, apply with a damp makeup sponge or a fluffy foundation brush. Start with a small amount and blend outwards, dabbing gently to press the product into the skin rather than rubbing.

Store your foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its stability and effectiveness.

Ensure skin is well-hydrated and exfoliated. Apply a thinner layer of foundation and blend thoroughly. Use a damp sponge for a more natural finish.

This can happen over time. Shake the bottle vigorously before each use to re-emulsify the product. If separation persists or changes texture significantly, it might be expired.
