This foundation is BEAUTIFUL!! It’s now my HG for sure. I used to love Nars LRF but Mac Studio Radiance is even better. It literally becomes one with my skin. It is very comfortable to wear and lasts all day. Plus, you can sheer it out or apply a bit more for fuller coverage. Truly a winner!
I've been using this foundation for 1 week now and I absolutely love it. I've been using a brush to apply followed by tapping with a sponge. Wears beautifully, doesn't settle in my lines or wrinkles, and looks just like my skin but better. I am 54 years old with combination dry skin. I also bought a shade lighter to use as a concealer because they usually make my under eye area look like crap.....this worked fabulously!
Darling, if you think 35 is bad wait till you hit my number, 55! Wrinkles and pores get even worse but that’s life! You are absolutely lovely and I have wanted to try this foundation. Today I will go to my local MAC and check it out. Thanks for all the fantastic videos you make I learn so much from you. My son is getting married next May. I wish you lived in my state so you could do my make up for that day.🥰🥰🥰
I’m so interested in this foundation. So glad you’re reviewing this as your opinion is one I trust. Definitely going to pick up a sample first but I think this might be my next foundation purchase. I’m assuming the foundation is light/medium buildable coverage.
Being a Dry Boy, i like your input on foundations, so i will certainly try this and possibly the Nars light reflection same with powder bronzers i feel i need a cream one xx
Omg I had a feeling you would review this! You’re my go to for dry skin recs, like nobody else compares lol. Also have dry acne prone skin, so I trust you! Love that you don’t filter anything. I appreciate you and your hard work immensely ❤ you’re so stunning Mallory! I love MAC but they’ve discontinued so many favorites of mine 🙄 may have to try this though! Thank you for sharing ❤
I went to Ulta to purchase the new Smashbox foundation but saw this tried it in store and felt it was more moisturizing to my normal to dry skin! I LOVE IT! It gives me a real skin look when I use the moist blender as Mallory recommends. Plus, for me, it lasts all day!
MALLORY 🤩 Thank you for using the FaceMaster 😍🙌🏻 Love your complexion videos so much! And yes the difference is very noticeable I’ll be like that with almost every product when you use my brush cause the FaceMaster doesn’t absorb the product as the sponge does so the sponge side wil always look more “glowy” and traslucent as it absorbes and thin out the product a little. I wanted that way cause mostly in Brides and clients the blurred soft effect the FaceMaster gives is what I looked for and I actually feel that the whole application last a lot longer and wears very well during the hours. Ive tested with lots of products and different skin types and she always gives me the “filter looking finish” and when people see their reflexión on the mirror they always surprised of how their skink looks so flawless 🤩 and when the ask what foundation did I used I always tell them is the brush that makes the difference 🙌🏻 even with my favorite drugstore one the Revlon Colorstay the finish it’s stunning and velvety. Oh and if you want the same glow effect as the sponge with the FaceMaster you just need to use like half of the product you used and it will look glowy and skin like. It’s just matter of adjusting the quantities but yes looks very different both beautiful as you 💕 tons of love for you. I always wait for your videos is so exiting to watch such a detailed review.
Double your age and completely agree with you. I used fingers and kept the glow. Normally NW 20 but had to go down to NW 10 in this one. Needless to say I have my share of fine lines and wrinkles and this foundation blurs them. It’s fabulous. Great review, Mallory.
Definitely could see a difference between the brush & sponge! I love this foundation! I haven’t tried the powder yet but now I want to! Happy Birthday!! Today is my birthday! 🎉
I’m usually nc12 but had to get nc10 because 12 was too dark. But I absolutely love this foundation. I am combo/oily and I don’t have to set this and it lasts all day.
And in real life too I can assure you that 🙌🏻 the brush gives a blurred effect and make everything stay perfect longer I’ve tried with many foundations and it’s always same when compare to sponge
Mallory I just found your channel and your just like me with your sensory issues and funny blemish statement 🤣 Ty for your real reviews , it’s much appreciated.
Hi Mallory - Happy Birthday, Beautiful! ❤ Do you feel like the powder was finely milled? I’m 51 and have normal to dry feeling skin. I love MAC products. We are shade twins. 😊 I’m going to pick up the Studio Radiance foundation. If the powder is finely milled, I am going to go grab it.
They look sooo differently on each side, but from my view the brush side looks more matte but not in a bad way like in a blurring smooth way! Love the channel❤
Did u say HYRALONIC ??? 😂😂😂😂 U CRACK ME UP...I'm super excited to see this foundation on u though ❤❤ awesome I could see both sides super clearly when u went outside 🙏 I always will love the glowy side over the least glowy side 😊
Ahhhhh!!!! I dropped everything to watch this Mallory!! I wanted to know your opinion on this before I bought it. I am going to get it this weekend 4 sure! I laughed when you applied the powder to your under eyes, because immediately you lost the highlight the concealer gave you. I knew immediately it was going back…I am so glad they have a translucent for you! Anyway, as someone on disability I have to watch my spending carefully, and I feel confident I can make this purchase. I grabbed the newest Revlon foundation because of your review, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I cannot wait to try this, as someone drier than the driest piece of parchment paper, I am looking forward to a new hydrating coverage product! Enjoy your weekend!!!❤❤❤
Mallory I'm pretty sure they repackaged (and raised the price of) the pro wear nourishing waterproof foundation as the new studio fix every wear all over face pen. Somebody on Reddit mentioned they were the same and I compared the ingredients list and they look almost exactly the same! I was really sad that they discontinued the foundation, then excited I could get the formula in the pen, then angry at how much they raised the price. I think it's about double the price per mL now!
I’m not so sure the pen is the same as the prolongwear foundation. They said that to me at my Mac boutique also. The pen formula makes me itch, but not the prolongwear in the tube. So angry they discontinued it. I bought as many colors in my range as possible. The thought is I can mix and match them to get the right color for my skin, depending on the season.
The ingredients list looks the same! From what I recall one of the silicones was in a different order in the list, but otherwise it looked almost exactly the same. I haven't tried the pen so I don't know what it's like, I was too angry about the price doubling
@@donnadrane4977 it was so good... And one of the only full coverage foundations I could wear on hot summer days with dry skin that actually looked better when sweating 😥
I found the pen to be totally different to the Pro long wear which was my go to foundation for years. I'm glad I got a sample of the pen cause I definitely won't be purchasing it. Being a combo of foundation & concealer I found it looked dry and quite powdery. The Pro Long Wear gave me a soft, healthy glow; the pen definitely did not. I brought 4 tubes of the Pro Long Wear while I could. Devastated that they have discontinued it.
I like the studio radiance foundation, but not as much as the prolongwear nourishing in the tube. At my Mac boutique they tried to tell me the pen was a replacement for prolongwear but I disagree. That pen makes me itch and the one in the tube does not. When I found out they were going to discontinue the one in the tube I bought as many colors in my range as I could. My thought is to mix them to get the correct color I need for every season. I can go between NC 20 to NC 38.
Wow, your hair looks so good! It’s really grown out. I’m still in the agony of bad haircut grow out, but you give me hope. And yes the two sides of foundation did look different on camera too. I like the sponge side best.
Love this review, the difference between the two applications is noticeable and both look great! Seeing how well it performed on you has inspired me to try it out for myself too. I've been interested in the new Smashbox Always On Foundation and would love to know your thoughts on the foundation, as I trust your opinion 😊 Happy belated birthday, Mallory.
The shades are deeper than the other Mac Foundations i think mine oxidized a little rosy NW11 and the NC´s are too yellow my dry skin looks after hours not so great but i definetily will use a sponge. I thought it is similar to my oldest satin Mac Foundation. Happy Birthday!
I’m telling you, when you are nearing 40, you will discover your true makeup artistry😊. Bc of texture, you can’t bake, and you cannot use a lot of layers. I only use a tinted moisturiser with a little concealer. Heavy foundation with a ton of powder makes textured skin look really bad😊
Those Halara cargo pants looked amazing on you. Thank you for sharing x ...& can we just have a moment to show gratitude to all stretchy waistbands lol
I would think the more apt comparison would be between the Studio Radiance Face & Body (sheer, radiant) and not the Studio Fix (full coverage, matte). Could you compare those if you are familiar with it?
I love when you talk about MAC. It’s nostalgic for me honestly lol. You have shared things that are now favorites for me, like Down To An Art lipstick. As a redhead, that is a perfect peachy brown every day lip for me. On a side note, I also love your lip combination videos. I think that’s where I got that one from.
🎂Happy Birthday 🥳 👍🎈 I’ll probably pick up a sample. It looks nice! Seems to have some staying power. If you pick up the translucent, I would sure like to see that you’re right about the color of the light it’s a little too dark.
Yes 🤩😍🙌🏻 that’s why I created! I wanted the flawless velvet looking skin me and my makeup clients love 😍 so glad it’s so noticeable looks so beautiful ❤❤❤❤ you have a great eye 😏
Question, at the start, your eyes were matte. When you returned from your workout, you had the most gorgeous sparkle on the lids. I can't find what you used for that sparkle.....👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
You know what reaaally gets me… it shows transfer resistant on the packaging, yettt it’ll wipe off as if it is a cream, and cream would probably be less transfer resistant because that’s just how transferring it is. Why believe any of the claims about it helping to improve skin barrier, when that alone is the most blatantly obvious false claim.
Speaking of filters… I’m slow and just discovered Painted By Spencer’s channel on TH-cam and wonder - is he using a filter? I need to know! Can someone tell me of someone who does use a filter so that I can learn the difference? ❤
Used this foundation and my skin did not agree with it. Used a setting powder, and still found that the foundation would come off extremely easily, and separated all over my nose, and throughout the day it shown to just look more cakey, and settled apart where the fine lines under my eyes and n around my mouth are. Over all not happy with this one. My skin is a bit mature as well, and I used the cream to prime my skin that should’ve worked really “well” together.
She said the original prolong wear was on sale, so if you’re gonna get on the Mac site good time to pick it up. I think it was just a heads up comment like “by the way”

the sponge side is HELLA glowy!!
I like your bangs! Nice new look
We definitly need a hair tutorial on this hairstyle...you look amazing babe!😊
UMMMMMM. This 14.5 is the absolute perfect shade for you.

both side looks pretty on you! I like how you can adapt it to get different finish

They do look different but both look beautiful! Beautiful!
My favourites on you by your sponsors are, the light blue with the cross front and the cargo pants. The light blue on you just looks stunning ❤
They look sooo differently on each side, but from my view the brush side looks more matte but not in a bad way like in a blurring smooth way! Love the channel❤
Yessss 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I designed the brush that way to make the skin look like “filtered” so happy you notice it and love it 😍 thank youuuuuu ❤❤❤❤❤

Definitely seeing a difference with both applications 😮 I do prefer the brush side tho ❤ Enjoy the coming weekend beautiful 🤗🍃🍃
I love it too 🤩🤩🤩 looks like porcelain 😍🙌🏻 stunning!!!!
I have a little problem with Mäc‘s virtual try-on tool. There are a few options from NW15, NW20 and NC37. Not so easy to choose the right one.
I like the studio radiance foundation, but not as much as the prolongwear nourishing in the tube. At my Mac boutique they tried to tell me the pen was a replacement for prolongwear but I disagree.

Seeing the two finishes… I REALLY want to try this now! I’m still gorgeous!!! Thank you for doing this review. I always look for your opinion. ♥️
Happy birthday to you Mallory!!! 🌟I love the look of the new MAC foundation-I will definitely try this; it looked amazing on you!
Wow that foundation really looks amazing on you! I want to try it
Wow, your hair looks so good! It’s really grown out. I’m still in the agony of bad haircut grow out, but you give me hope. And yes the two sides of foundation did look different on camera too. I like the sponge side best.
Is that the one in the grey compact?? The Mac foundation you mentioned that’s being disco’d??? I love that one.
Beautiful content with some detailed advice🧡 thanks 😏

Got the Gabby Rose Facemaster on your recommendation and it is in fact THE BOMB!!!

That NC 14.5 oxidized before our eyes! It was lighter than the 15 and then dried down darker! Crazy.
Happy birthday!! I hope your day was blessed!! You look beautiful 😍
This foundation looked fantastic on you❤I just checked the MAC website and the Studio Fix Fluid foundation is not on sale🙁
Stunning look! Love your hair, too. Happy Birthday🌱🎂💐💜
Thank you Mallory for this vidéo🧡🧡🧡

The brush will definitely be a game changer I promise! Let me know if you try it 🙏🏻
Is this similar to the Nars light reflecting foundation?

Ugh I do NOT need another foundation, but I want this sooo bad 😭😭
What nail polish are you wearing?
That’s what happened to me with Estée Lauder! I filmed outdoors and upon reviewing I was really unhappy! Looking for another foundation for 65+ skin
Definitely looks different on each side, but I much prefer the brush side. It looks way more blurred and flawless.
Yes 🤩😍🙌🏻 that’s why I created! I wanted the flawless velvet looking skin me and my makeup clients love 😍 so glad it’s so noticeable looks so beautiful ❤❤❤❤ you have a great eye 😏

The powder does blur but I can't wear it under my eyes because it is too dry looking.....it just looks super makeupy on undereyes
You’re looking very Farrah Fawcett in this video, in the best way possible.
Please review studio fix new version foundation in nc 15
You know what reaaally gets me… it shows transfer resistant on the packaging, yettt it’ll wipe off as if it is a cream, and cream would probably be less transfer resistant because that’s just how transferring it is.
