MAC Studio Fix or Double Wear?

14 replies

I love the full coverage, velvety look but recently double wear hasn't been doing this for me as it seems to wear off by the end of the day - is it a new formula?

I don't want to waste a fortune on other foundations only for them not to be as good. Is studio fix a good alternative to DW?

Studio fix is lovely - I converted about ten years ago from double wear! It's not as thick but it is buildable.

I do think the DW formula has changed,it's nowhere near as full coverage as it used to be but ime still the best out there even though I need to alter it with lightening drops as the shades are a bit weird.

Fab thank you - Studio fix also seems to be a bit cheaper too!

If you try the Mac can you update please OP with a comparison to the DW?

Do you mean SF liquid or the SF powder foundation?

I prefer the DW to the SF Liquid but prefer the SF Powder Foundation for day to day. I use DW for an evening with a primer and loose powder for a prettier look than the SF. I use the SF everyday as it’s so quick to apply!

Please ignore the utterly terrifying edits!

Hair down picture is DW
Hair up picture is SF Powder Plus

Neither using a filter although light bulbs are warmer in one pic and cooler in another. Both at the end of a night.

Ugh. Picture fail Angry

Oh it worked.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 19/02/2020 15:39

Fake what shade are in Mac please? I think I want to give it a go

FakeFraudSquad · 19/02/2020 15:55

C2

Should say other fuller coverage foundations I like are Make Up Forever HD foundation and La Prairie Caviar Foundation (beautiful but V pricey). I’m late 30s, combination skin.

Thanks!

Is it Mac SF powder plus, I switched from double wear to the SF liquid, it's fantastic only issue is you have to buy pump separately but EL one packaging is much better.

redferrari · 19/02/2020 17:22

Oh I forgot I think both don't have the pump, but Mac one leaks easily in my purse for some reason.
