MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NW35 15g — Matte Full Coverage, Long-Wear Compact

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NW35 is a two-in-one powder and foundation that gives medium-beige skin a full-coverage, matte finish in a single compact.

This compact blends foundation-strength pigments with a smoothing powder texture to even skin tone, minimize the look of pores and control shine. The 15g (0.52 fl oz) pan is travel-ready and formulated to deliver long-wear results—designed to sit smoothly on skin for hours while providing buildable coverage from medium to full. NW35 is a medium beige shade with a neutral-rosy undertone, ideal for those seeking a warm but balanced complexion match.

How does Studio Fix simplify my morning routine?

The formula combines foundation pigment and powder finish so you can apply color and set skin in one step, cutting application time. It works with a brush or sponge for quick touch-ups and full-face application. The result is an instant matte, even surface without layering multiple products.

• One-step powder + foundation for faster application
• Blendable coverage—build from medium to full
• Compact design for on-the-go touch-ups
• Applies smoothly with brush or sponge

Will NW35 match my skin tone and undertone?

NW35 is described as medium beige with a neutral-rosy undertone, which suits medium skin tones that lean neither strongly warm nor cool. If you typically wear MAC NW shades or find other NW tones a match, NW35 will likely harmonize with your natural coloring. For best results, test in natural light or consult a MAC shade guide.

• Medium beige base with neutral-rosy undertone
• Works well for medium skin tones seeking balance
• Compare to other NW shades for closest match
• Patch-test on jawline before full-face application

How long does the coverage last and how does it control shine?

The powder-plus-foundation formula is engineered for extended wear and a matte finish that helps control oil and surface shine for several hours. While individual wear time varies by skin type and environment, MAC specifies long-lasting coverage that can remain effective for up to around eight hours under normal conditions. Reapply or blot as needed for humidity or high-activity days.

• Matte finish reduces visible shine
• Full-coverage pigments camouflage imperfections
• Up to approximately 8 hours of wear in typical use
• Blot or touch-up with the compact for extended freshness

How should I apply and build coverage with this compact?

Start with a clean, moisturized face; use a dense kabuki or powder brush for all-over application, or a sponge for concentrated coverage. Sweep for light-to-medium coverage, buff in circular motions to build, or press with a sponge where you need fuller coverage. Finish with a setting spray if you want added longevity or a slightly softened finish.

• Brush for sheer to medium coverage, sponge for full coverage
• Buff in circles to blend evenly across the face
• Press product into areas needing extra coverage
• Optional setting spray for longer wear or softer edges

Who is this for: MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NW35 is suited to anyone who prefers a matte, full-coverage look from a compact format—particularly people with medium skin and a neutral-rosy undertone. It's ideal for busy mornings, travel, touch-ups during the day, and those who want the coverage of a foundation with the convenience and finish of a pressed powder. If you favor buildable coverage, oil control, and a compact you can carry, this product is a practical choice.
