MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation C4 — Matte Powder Foundation, Buildable Medium-to-Full Coverage, 0.52 oz

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation C4 is a one-step powder and foundation compact that delivers medium-to-full matte coverage while controlling oil for up to 12 hours.

This compact blends foundation pigment with a finely milled powder for a smooth, matte finish that minimizes the look of pores and conceals imperfections. Designed to stay color-true and resistant to fading, creasing, and caking, the formula works across a range of skin types and can be applied with a brush, sponge, or puff for buildable coverage. The 0.52 ounce size is travel-friendly and fits easily in a makeup bag or clutch.

How does Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation C4 create a matte, pore-blurring finish?

The formula combines foundation coverage with a silky powder base to even out skin tone and reduce shine. Micronized pigments sit on the skin surface to mask pores while light-diffusing powders reduce the appearance of texture without looking flat.

• Medium-to-full pigment for concealing discoloration and blemishes
• Fine powder particles soften visible pores and uneven texture
• Matte effect controls oil and minimizes shine throughout the day
• Longwear formula resists fading, creasing, and caking for up to 12 hours

How should I apply it for natural-looking or full coverage results?

For a lighter, natural result, sweep with a fluffy brush over skin. For fuller coverage, press the product into skin using a damp sponge or the included puff and build in thin layers until you reach the desired finish. Blend along the jawline and hairline to avoid visible edges.

• Brush application: sheer to medium, airy finish
• Sponge/puff press: medium-to-full, more coverage and longevity
• Layer thinly to prevent cakiness and to keep texture soft
• Touch up oil-prone areas throughout the day with a light press

Will this compact work with different skin types and tones?

This product is formulated to perform on oily, combination, and normal skin types; the matte control and longwear benefits are especially helpful for oilier complexions. Choose a shade match like C4 for a neutral-to-warm medium depth; MAC’s shade range helps find compatible undertones and intensities.

• Good oil control for combination to oily skin
• Buildable coverage adapts to normal and dryer skin with careful application
• Shade C4 fits medium skin with neutral-warm undertones
• Travel-friendly compact for on-the-go touch-ups

How long does the wear last and how does it perform through the day?

Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is engineered to resist fading, streaking, and settling for up to 12 hours under normal conditions. It keeps color integrity while reducing oil and shine, so your finish stays consistent from morning to evening with minimal touch-ups.

• Up to 12 hours of matte, color-stable wear
• Formulation resists creasing and caking with proper application
• Suitable for daily use and quick touch-ups on the go
• Compact packaging protects product and eases application
