MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NC44.5 — Matte, Medium-to-Full Coverage, Long-Wearing

The NC44.5 shade is designed to match warm, deeper-medium skin tones with neutral-to-warm undertones.

How will this product change my morning makeup routine?

Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation streamlines your routine by acting as both foundation and finishing powder. Apply with a dense brush or sponge for quick, even coverage that reduces steps and blending time.

• One-step application replaces separate liquid foundation and powder
• Built-in pigmentation minimizes need for concealer
• Fast to buff in for a natural matte finish

What level of coverage and finish can I expect?

This formula offers medium-to-full, buildable coverage that mattifies the skin without looking flat. The texture has a velvety feel that reduces the appearance of pores and evens skin tone while keeping shine under control.

• Medium-to-full coverage that layers without cakiness
• Matte, but skin-friendly, non-drying texture
• Blurred, airbrushed effect on pores and fine lines

How long will the wear last and how does it handle oil or humidity?

The product is designed for long-wearing performance and helps resist midday shine for many skin types. For oily or humid conditions, setting with a light setting spray or touch-up powder extends longevity.

• Long-wearing pigmentation built for daily and event wear
• Controls oil and surface shine for extended periods
• Pairs well with blotting papers or setting mist for added durability

How do I apply it for best results on NC44.5 skin tones?

Use a dense kabuki or a damp sponge to press and buff the product into skin for seamless coverage. Start with a light layer and build only where needed—cheeks, forehead, and nose—to maintain dimension.

• Apply in thin layers and build to target coverage areas
• Buff in circular motions for a smooth, even finish
• Use a setting spray to melt powder slightly into skin for natural look

Who is this for: MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NC44.5 suits anyone seeking a simplified makeup step that offers reliable medium-to-full coverage and a matte finish—especially those with warm, deeper-medium complexions looking to control shine without heavy, liquid formulas. It’s suitable for professional makeup artists and daily users who want a durable, easy-to-blend powder foundation available in a wide shade range to match diverse skin tones.
