Comparison Overview – MAC Pro Longwear vs Studio Fix Fluid Foundations The finish of both foundations differ. While the Pro Longwear's finish lies between matte and dewy, the finish of Studio Fix is matte. Their consistency also differs. You can use a sponge to apply MAC foundation over a primer and achieve a smooth finish. When you want to cover blemishes, try a MAC concealer. Put on a MAC foundation with SPF protection to protect your skin when you're out in the sun. Discover MAC Studio Fix foundations. These foundations feature broad-spectrum SPF 15 to protect your face. You have very pretty skin! Iv'e used the MAC pro longwear and it just was not enough coverage for me! So i might try the studio fix! But the best stuff i've ever used so far (without trying the studio fix) is the Maybelline Superstay foundation 24h wear! Best full coverage and it does stay but my skin is super oily so i use a little MAC studio fix powder here and there throughout the day.
Foundation is the most important in my book. It creates an even skintone cover some scars, blemishes, whateva you don't want the person next to you to notice! Now obviously you cannot cover a bump or the texture on you face but at least get the redness out. These are my current foundations so I decided to kinda compare them and tell you witch one is my favorite. Before I apply any foundation to my face I always put on my VS Primer. Now I have normal to dry skin so that can differ the outcome for your own liking. If you go to MAC the'll give a free sample to try it out. So with that being said...I've been trying the MAC Pro-Longwear foundation for like 3 months, now it does last enough time in my opinion, but then again I don't wear it pass 6-7 hours at a time so I don't know how long is capabile of staying looking fresh. I find this foundation to dry quicker than the studio fix when your applying it, so you got to work faster and blend in sections. This foundation is not a dewy finish but not a matte neither, I set my foundation with just a light dust of studio fix powder. I like more of a medium to full coverage but I find this foundation is like a light to medium coverage. I like how it evens out my skintone but doesn't cover enough for me sometimes, This is perfect for days when I want to do just that, and don't need to cover major things.Overall I like it, but not my fav. Where the medium coverage at??!!
Happy #FoundationFriday- Its a dupe battle today! I went onto pinterest to checkout a dupe for my favorite foundation and I saw MAC studio Fix and Maybelling.
Ok you know Mac Studio Fix Fluid is my favorite so far. I've been using this for like 3 years and I keep going back to it .My skin is normal to dry and I find this foundation to give me the look of a satin finish not too dewy or very matte for my skin, I like a little dewyness, if you have oily skin you might perfer matte finish so setting this foundation with a loose powder would be great. It gives medium to buildable full coverage and it doesn't dry too fast so you can take your time blending.I also set this with a light dusting of Mac Studio Fix Powder. I love it! So yeah in the end I always keep going back to my good ol' fluid but im opened to try any other ones, I've been trying some of the drugstore some are Ok, any suggestions? any good ones I should know about?
Thanks for stopping by <3!
Be safe, stay happy healthy and true to yourself!
Peace and Love

We all have a product that we once loved, but due to new products coming into our lives, it finds it's way into the back of the drawer, to be sadly forgotten. That product for me was Mac Pro Long wear foundation. For years and years I wore and loved Pro long wear, but due to many new foundations coming into my life, I forgot all about it. That was until I went on the hunt for a foundation that I could wear for my wedding and my love affair with Pro Longwear was ignited all over again.
Shade Range: Like with all Mac foundations, pro longwear comes in a wide variety of shades, including both cool and warm toned shades. I am between 2 shades, so I wear NC 25 during the day and NC 30 at night, but find I'm leaning to the NC 30 more during the day as the NC 25 is a little on the pale side now, with the colour of my hair.
Packaging: The packaging for Pro longwear is a little bit of a let down for me. Every time I pump out some foundation, there is a little bit left on the end of the spout and due to the fact that there is no lid, it inevitably ends up going all over the inside of my makeup drawer. Also it is a glass bottle, so every time I drop it my heart skips a little beat. However, on the plus side, the pump gives out just the right amount of product, so there is minimal waste.
Texture: While this is a very fluid foundation, it sets unbelievably fast and you need to work quickly with it. I find that you need to buff it quickly into your skin other wise it will sit on the top of the skin and look very obvious. However, if you use a little bit at a time and buff in fast, it gives your skin a flawless finish.
Finish: The finish on Pro Longwear, is definitely the best finish of all the Mac foundations. It is neither a dewy or a matte finish, but instead more of a satin finish. Some people say that Pro Long wear gives your skin a very natural finish. I would however, say that it gives it more of a flawless finish, but if you're looking for the your skin but better type of look, you won't find that look from Pro Longwear. Instead if you want to look airbrushed, then that is the look you will get from Pro LongWear. I find that sometimes it can look at little flat on the skin, so to give my skin a bit more of a glow, I mix in a liquid highlighter if I am looking for an extra glow.
Coverage: The coverage of Pro Long wear, is billed as a medium coverage foundation. However, I would say it is definitely a build able medium to full coverage foundation. In the pictures I am having a fairly good skin day, but as you can see, it completely airbrushes out everything to the point it looks like I have used a filter in this picture. While I do still need to use a concealer to cover my dark circle, I don't need as much of a heavy duty one as I do with other foundations.
Lasting power: This is where pro longwear really comes into it's own. This is one of the longest wearing foundations I own. If I apply it at 7:30 in the morning, it is still perfectly in place at 10 that night. Not only that, it won't sweat or slide off your face. I don't wear this with a primer or set it with a powder and it literally doesn't budge.
Skin Type: I honestly think this foundation would suit most skin types, except those with dry skin. Mac alexa as speaker. When I do have dry patches on my face it can cling a little bit and I find on those days I am better off with Mac Studio fix fluid.
Price: A bottle of Pro Longwear will set you back €36.50, but like always I would suggest that once you know your colour, get someone to pick it up for you when going through the airport, as it is at least 15% cheaper.
Mac Pro Longwear Foundation Waterproof
This is the perfect foundation for anyone looking for a long wearing foundation, that contains no SPF and therefor won't leave you looking ghosted out in pictures. Having tried a number of foundations over the last few months, I have decided that this will be the foundation that I wear when getting married, as I know I won't have to worry about it wearing off or looking patchy or cakeythroughout they day.
Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour Nude foundation
In a recent YouTube video, I asked the readers of The Beautiful Truth, to recommend a good budget foundation for me to try .Again and again, people kept recommending the Rimmel Lashing finish 25 hour foundation. Not to be rude, I of course had to try it and picked up the both the lasting finish 25 hour nude and the original red bottled Lasting finish 25 hour with comfort serum. Having given both a try, I have found that I have reached for the Lasting finish nude ( the white topped one) a lot more over the original, as I found it far more comfortable for my skin than the…

December 9, 2013L'Oreal True Match Foundation Review
Who knew makeup could be so controversial. I recently posted a picture of the L'oreal True Match foundation over on The Beautiful Truth Facebook page and to say there was a real split in people's opinions would be an understatement. I couldn't believe how strongly people would feel over a foundation!!! So many people not only didn't like this foundation but absolutely hated it!! The complaints most people had was how it wore on the skin. Many found that it slid off their face throughout the day, or it went patchy. I have to say, I didn't hold out much hope for this foundation, but ladies, I have to say,…

June 15, 2014Make Up Forever Ultra HD foundation
Considering I have had this foundation since last July, it has taken me a long time to get around to writing a review. The reason for this being I couldn't make my mind up on it. When I initially got a few samples in Sephora I absolutely adored it. Then when I bought the full bottle, I just couldn't seem to get on with it. I found it patchy and not very long wearing. Now thankfully because I finally had the good sense to try it with a primer, I have been able to do a full and detailed analysis of how I really feel about the Make Up For…
