MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NC40 is a buildable, long-wear powder foundation that evens skin tone, controls shine and provides medium-to-full matte coverage in a compact form.

Designed for quick application and all-day wear, this Studio Fix powder-plus-foundation blends setting powder and foundation into a single pressed compact.

How much coverage and finish can I expect?

The formula is buildable from medium to fuller coverage without feeling cakey. It layers easily over primer or a light liquid base and sets makeup with a soft-matte finish that reduces the appearance of pores and shine.

• Medium coverage on a single sweep; can be layered to fuller coverage
• Soft-matte finish that appears natural in daylight
• Blurs fine lines and minimizes visible pores
• Compact format allows touch-ups without extra tools

How do I apply MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation for best results?

Use a dense brush or the included pad to press product into the skin for full coverage, or a fluffy brush to dust on a lighter layer. For spot coverage, apply with a small kabuki or concealer brush and blend outward to avoid hard edges.

• Press application with a sponge gives fuller, even coverage
• Buff with a brush for lighter, more natural wear
• Layer gradually to avoid overloading the skin
• Use the compact for midday touch-ups on oily areas

Will this shade and formula suit my skin type?

• Shade: NC40 — warm-neutral, medium depth
• Skin type: recommended for combination skin
• Works over primers and serums without flaking

How long does it wear and how portable is it?
