MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NC45 15g — Full Coverage Matte, Oil-Control Compact

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NC45 is a dual-purpose powder foundation that delivers full coverage with a natural matte finish in a lightweight, all-in-one compact.

Designed for anyone who wants foundation and setting powder in a single product, this 15g/0.52oz pan combines pigment and powder technology to even skin tone, conceal imperfections, and control shine throughout the day. The NC45 shade suits deeper warm olive undertones and is formulated to apply smoothly with brushes, sponges, or a puff for buildable coverage without feeling cakey.

How does this product provide both foundation and powder benefits?

The formula fuses finely milled pigments with oil-absorbing powders so you get coverage and mattifying effect at once. It layers evenly to hide discoloration while setting the complexion to reduce midday shine.

• Full-coverage pigments for evening skin tone
• Milled powders that help control oil and prolong wear
• Compact format for quick touch-ups and easy application

How long will coverage last during my day?

This powder-plus-foundation is designed for extended wear and helps maintain a polished look for many hours. Longevity depends on skin type and activity, but the mattifying elements work to reduce breakdown from oil.

• Formulated to resist midday shine
• Suitable for touch-ups to refresh coverage
• Works well under or over primer for increased longevity

What’s the best way to apply and build coverage?

Use a dense brush or the included sponge to deposit product, starting with light layers and building where more coverage is needed. Blend outward from the center of the face for a natural finish and focus on areas that require concealment.

• Light sweep for all-over evening
• Press and buff with sponge for fuller coverage
• Use a smaller brush for spot correction and under-eye touch-ups

Does this shade suit my skin tone and undertone?

NC45 is formulated for deeper complexions with warm, golden-olive undertones. If you have neutral or cool undertones, consider comparing swatches in-store or sampling alongside adjacent MAC shades for a perfect match.

• NC45: deep shade with warm-yellow/olive undertone
• Compare in natural light for most accurate match
• Try adjacent NC/NW shades if you’re between tones

Who is this for: MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NC45 is ideal for people with deeper warm-toned skin who want a single compact that delivers medium-to-full coverage, a matte finish, and convenient touch-up capability. It’s a practical choice for those who prefer powder formulas over liquids, travel frequently, or need a quick, long-wearing option to minimize shine and even skin texture throughout the day.
