The Pro Longwear foundation is less heavy than the studio fix and provides up to 15 hours of wear. The foundation provides a more sheer/medium coverage which is great if you want a more dewy look than a matte finish. Very oily- Pro Longwear Compact Foundation Mac has recently come out with a Pro Longwear compact foundation. The Longwear provides sheer to medium coverage and has a natural finish. Studio Fix has a matte finish with medium to full coverage. The Longwear is great for people that have oily skin. The Studio Fix is more emollient based, and if you have oily skin, you will find that the Studio Fix will break down in a matter of a few hours.
Mac Pro Longwear Foundation Vs Studio Fix Foundation
Heya lovelies, How have you been? So today I will be reviewing my favourite foundation, which is Mac pro longwear foundation. I am in the shade NC-42. Though I am writing a review for this foundation today, it is not new to me. I have been using this foundation for more than a year now. I am kind of a big foundation junkie. So I keep on trying different foundations. To know how this foundation fared on me please continue with my MAC Pro Longwear Foundation Review, Swatches, FOTD
MAC Pro Longwear Foundation is a comfortable, long-wearing foundation that gives medium coverage with a natural finish and up to 15 hours of wear in any environmental condition. When I do have dry patches on my face it can cling a little bit and I find on those days I am better off with Mac Studio fix fluid. Price: A bottle of Pro Longwear will set you back €36.50, but like always I would suggest that once you know your colour, get someone to pick it up for you when going through the airport, as it is at least 15%. MAC Studio Fix Fluid VS Pro Longwear Foundations Review Hello pretty things, I am no beauty blogger, but as I'm on the search for a new amazing foundation that I can finally stick to (I haven't found one that suits my needs in my life yet), I thought I would write up a little review of the last two products I've tried.

In Detail MAC Pro Longwear Foundation Review, Swatches, FOTD and My Experience
The Mac pro longwear foundation comes in a sturdy glass bottle. The best thing I love about this foundation is that it comes with its own pump unlike Mac studio fix fluid foundation. The pump dispenses just the right amount of product hence there is no product wastage. The foundation also has a twist lock system so that you can twist and dispense the product when you need and then twist back to lock the bottle. I usually require 2 pumps of foundation to cover my entire face and neck. Though it is a glass bottle, one can carry this foundation safely in a handbag. I have personally carried this foundation a number of times but never faced any problems yet.
Coming on to the shade selection – MAC is probably the best, well known and trusted brand when it comes to the shades selection. They have a wide range of shades available in this foundation. So one can easily find a suitable shade for their skin tone in the Mac Pro longwear range of foundations.
The texture of the foundation is liquid but it is slightly thick in consistency. It applies smoothly but one needs to work a little fast with this foundation or else it may end up sitting on your face and becomes hard to blend after a while.
I wanted to buy a long wearing foundation and as I have combination/oily skin, the MAC Makeup artist at a MAC store suggested this foundation. I was matched NC-42 in pro longwear foundation which luckily was the perfect shade for me. I normally like to use a foundation that is one shade lighter than my skin tone as foundations tend to oxidise a bit on my skin. But this foundation is not a shade lighter it's just my skin but better. I was surprised to see that this foundation didn't oxidise on my face at all, and the colour remained the same as it was. This is a long wearing foundation and it offers semi-matte finish which I love.
It didn't oxidise on my face and it stayed put through all day long. After 5-6 hours I started noticing the foundation slightly fading from my t-zone where I generally tend to get oily. But touching up with a compact just increased the wear time of the foundation.
I have tried and tested this foundation with primer and without primer. In both the ways it stayed for the same time duration on my skin. Control click mac. Mac lady danger swatch. This foundation is good for people with combination to oily skin. Dry skin beauties may need to use some moisturiser underneath before putting on this foundation. For me, it is indeed the best foundation and my ultimate favourite so far. Although I have been loving some more foundations from other brands, this one is always close to my heart. I love this foundation to the bits for the finish, stay and the coverage it provides. Never goes cakey or patchy on the skin. Just keeps looking fresh and natural all day. 🙂
