Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEApply after skincare and primer. Can also be used as a final step over liquid foundation to set and boost coverage. Finish with MAC Fix+ for a fresh, dewy look.
How to use
HOW TO USEPrep Your Skin
Start with clean, well-moisturized skin. Apply primer to oily areas or all over for extended wear. Allow products to absorb for 1-2 minutes.
Choose Your Tool
For lighter coverage, use a fluffy brush (like MAC 168S). For more coverage, use the included sponge applicator or a dense brush (MAC 170S).
Apply & Build
Sweep or press the powder across your face, starting from the center and blending outward. Build coverage in targeted areas like blemishes, redness or under-eyes.
Set & Finish
For a setting powder effect, lightly dust over liquid foundation focusing on the T-zone. Finish with a spritz of MAC Fix+ to blend the powder seamlessly and add a natural glow.
Store the Sponge Properly
Always store the sponge applicator in the compartment underneath the powder pan, never on top. Replace the sponge every few weeks to prevent bacteria buildup.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESThis is where Studio Fix truly excels. The silica, kaolin and aluminum starch octenylsuccinate absorb excess oil for up to 24 hours, keeping shine at bay without constant blotting.

Can cling to dry patches and emphasize flaking. Prep with a hydrating moisturizer and primer, and finish with Fix+ setting spray to counteract dryness.
Fragrance-free and dermatologist tested. Contains soothing bisabolol. Patch test recommended, but generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin types.
Great coverage for active blemishes, but some users report breakouts from prolonged use. Always remove thoroughly and clean applicators regularly. Not fungal-acne safe.

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPES
Very similar matte finish and oil-control performance at a fraction of the price. Coverage is lighter (sheer to medium) and the shade range is smaller (16 shades). Lacks the botanical extracts and refillable packaging.
Solid medium coverage with impressive long-wear claims. More natural finish than MAC's blur-matte. Fewer shades available (around 16) but decent oil control. Contains talc unlike the new MAC formula.
Full coverage matte powder at a great price point. Good oil control but can look heavier on the skin. Shade range is more limited and formula is not as finely milled as MAC's reformulated version.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, the MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The formula does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens (like oxybenzone) or any other ingredients commonly flagged as unsafe during pregnancy. It uses mineral-based pigments and botanical extracts. However, as with any cosmetic product, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
No, this foundation is not fungal acne safe. The new formula contains several ingredients that can feed malassezia yeast, including Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Silybum Marianum Seed Oil and Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate. If you are prone to fungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis), consider alternatives with simpler, FA-safe formulations.
Yes, you can use this powder foundation over skincare products containing retinol, vitamin C, AHAs or BHAs. Since it is a makeup product applied on top of your skincare routine, there are no direct interactions to worry about. However, if you use strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinol that cause flaking or peeling, the powder may cling to dry patches. Allow active ingredients to fully absorb (5-10 minutes) and apply a good moisturizer before using this foundation.
Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is best suited for oily and combination skin types. Its oil-absorbing ingredients (silica, kaolin, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate) provide excellent shine control throughout the day. It also works well on normal skin. Those with dry skin can still use it but should prep well with hydrating skincare and use a lighter application. Mature skin types should apply with a light hand and finish with a setting spray to prevent settling into fine lines.
Results are immediate. You will see medium-to-full coverage, pore-blurring and oil control from the very first application. Clinical testing on 165 women showed that after one week of use, 96% said the foundation leaves skin feeling comfortable all day and 94% said it smooths and blurs the look of skin blemishes. Finding your ideal application technique may take a few uses.
Apply after completing your skincare routine (cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen) and after primer. It goes on as the foundation step. You can also apply it as a final step over liquid or cream foundation to set makeup and add coverage. If using as a setting powder only, apply lightly to the T-zone with a fluffy brush after your liquid foundation has been blended.
The comedogenic rating is approximately 2 out of 5 (low-moderate). The formula contains some emollient esters like Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate and Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil that have moderate pore-clogging potential, but the oil-absorbing mineral base helps offset this. Some users do report breakouts with prolonged daily use. To minimize clogging, always remove makeup thoroughly at the end of the day, clean your brushes and sponges regularly, and ensure proper skincare underneath.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 24 months. Pressed powder products generally have a long shelf life due to their low moisture content, which discourages bacterial growth. With daily use, most users find the compact lasts 6-12 months before they hit pan. Store the compact closed in a cool, dry place and replace the sponge applicator every few weeks for best hygiene.
Verdict: MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation remains one of the best powder foundations on the market, and the 2025 reformulation makes it even better. The switch to a talc-free formula with botanical extracts, 24-hour oil control and refillable packaging brings a modern update to a beloved classic. It excels for oily and combination skin types seeking a quick, one-step application with reliable, buildable coverage. The 67-shade range is impressively inclusive. However, those with dry or mature skin should approach with caution and proper prep, and fungal acne sufferers will need to look elsewhere. At $38 with refill options available, it offers solid value for a prestige powder foundation that can also double as a setting powder.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.

Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
