MAC studio fix powder foundation

Does anyone else use this? I have been using it for years and just went to buy some more and it seems they have changed the formula . Lots of really bad reviews saying it’s changed for the worse and that the colours are no longer the same . Has anyone else found this ? Can anyone recommend an alternative?

Following as my usual NW20 was not the same when i recently replaced it. I have used the L’Oréal powder foundation as a substitute but the colour match isn’t quite right, or Clinique Double Powder. Again, it’s a problem with colour match - Mac had such a good range.

I’ve just been on to their actual website although I order from Boots which is where I read the bad reviews . On the Mac website there is a guide to the colour changes so I’ve just ordered some based on that . Fingers crossed it is ok. The reviews on their website were much better. If it’s not successful I’ll have to find an alternative which is a real shame as I’ve been using this for donkeys years .

So , I bought the new one in the shade Mac said matched the one I used to buy and as you can see it is totally off. Not happy . £35 wasted .

It also doesn’t seem to cover as well

Definitely ask for a refund OP. They change things way too often, no idea why.
