I just bought that studio radiance foundation, and got a huge compliment from a coworker. I wear very beautiful foundations all the time, so I was surprised she noticed any big difference. I’m 49.
I cannot believe I found a MUA youtuber with my exact same skin tone (also NC15 here) and super dry and sensitive skin!! I'm so happy I'm going to cry, I can just buy the same shades you're using blindly because I know exactly how it will look! Thanks for the super thorough reviews, they are super helpful !
I generally don’t like foundation with spf, you still need to reapply a spf anyway depending on sun exposure, so I don’t mind if the foundation has none
My hg is estee Lauder double wear so...I finally gave this one a chance (the og) with the color match turned out I was nw 25..anyways I got it in the mail today and I was disappointed with the color match omg it's too dark blah blah that is until I put it on and WOW ❤ makes my skin look flawless matte and hydrated im 53 going on 54 in a couple of weeks so this is a huge deal for me I am glad i waited. I don't think this would have worked on my 30yr old skin. Thank you for reminding me..now I have 2 holy grails😂😂. Love your channel been watching for years❤❤
Just picked up the fluid radiance based on your review and I’m loving it. It’s my first MAC foundation and I am beyond impressed. Thanks for this face off!
So, it’s a battle against yourself: MAC v MAC. I’m hoping the increased skincare helps. I’ve been wanting more skincare power in everything. They both seemed to work well.
I just bought the MAC radiance foundation. I used a brush and it definitely looks matte. Will use a sponge next time. I did watch your video on it but forgot about the brush being matte. They both look great on you!
Love this review!! I have autoimmune issues as well, including rosacea, so this was extremely helpful. I will definitely be trying out the radiance one asap!
Beautiful Mal! I've watched you test a lot of foundations, and I do believe Mac looks the best on you. I'm digging the new serum one just a Lil bit more! ❤
I usually have to mix a little bit of serum with my original mac studio fix which I usually just wear in the summer so maybe with the new radiance I won’t have to do that. Thanks for the comparison looks like it may run a little darker, so I will keep that in mind.
My radiance foundation was just delivered. Im excited. The last time i used MAC was like almost 20 years ago and i didnt like it because it was so heavy and orange, but you sold me on this one so lets give it a go!
Mallory, I love the Studio Radiance foundation as well as other MAC products. I have to use unscented products due to excema, so can’t use Chanel or Dior anymore.
I really enjoy these types of videos and especially this one. Love MAC and I wonder if the finish affects the way the shade looks altho they are slightly different. Totally agree on all observations but personally I'd end up going for the radiant. I'm normal to dry and enjoy moisturized looking skin over a matte finish. 😊
I love love the new MAC studio radiance foundation! I haven’t been able to put it down since I bought it! Have you tried the MOB beauty cream foundation? I’d love to see how it compares to the Patrick Ta cream foundation.
I like the Studio Fix side better. It looks like it has more coverage. Not that you need it. My question is does it break you out. I’m nervous to try it. Also, I’ve heard a lot of reviews saying it smells really bad like chemicals. Is this your experience too? Thanks so much for the reviews. I love your new hairstyle with the curtain bangs!
I have acne prone skin and it doesn’t bother my skin at all! It does have a bit of a medical smell but you get used to it and it’s only the bottle that smells strongly!
I am an NC15 in MAC. I went to the store and was matched to a NW10. What? The associate said it ran dark. I got a sample. I wish the shades were like the original stdio fix fluid.
I definitely prefer the studio fix over radiance. The reason is because I think the radiance exaggerates texture. I notice more pore texture on the top of the cheek on the radiance side in the camera lighting.
The radiance foundation seem dark when comparing nc25 to nc25 fix . So should I have gone to a nc20? I would appreciate if someone would help me. Ordering online home delivery.
So glad I’m a good shade match for you!!! It definitely does match my neck / décolletage a lot better than my face. I’d always love to know which of my recommendations work for you and which don’t!
Will do xoxo Looking forward for more videos from you 💖 I had to declutter my makeup and skincare as my skin has gotten super dry as I age 🤣 hence Im doing a research kinda thing of what products to use. Stumbling into your channel made me go oooooh i wanna tryyyy

Im usually nc15 but with the radiance version, im nc10.. They do run darker amd will oxidise slightly..

I love the new Mac Serum Foundation!! It is my new HG. It is truly perfect! Blends in like a dream, is hydrating and long wearing.
Could you do Laura Mercier real flawless weightless perfecting foundation vs Mac studio radiance applied with a brush?
MAC makes solid products! I do wish all companies would stop putting sunscreen in the foundations.

The studio radiance nc14.5 definitely looks a little darker and warmer!
I'm NC 15 for studio fix fluid and NC 11.5/12 for the serum foundation.
I’m NC 12 in studio fix and use NC 10 in the serum.

Love MAC products!

camera light looks so much better! thank you for fixing that, I'm able to see the color on your face finally 😘 you're the BEST 😉💛🧡❤💓
I don't see too much difference between the 2 foundations. I really like your eye makeup. Thanks for this tutorial
I just bought the MAC radiance foundation. I used a brush and it definitely looks matte. Will use a sponge next time. I did watch your video on it but forgot about the brush being matte. They both look great on you!
I love your glasses! Where did you get them? What are they called?
Love this review!! I have autoimmune issues as well, including rosacea, so this was extremely helpful. I will definitely be trying out the radiance one asap!
they both look great! But now I kind of want the radiance foundation, and I definitely don't need a new foundation😅

Your eyeshadow really complements your eye color!
Honestly, I don't really see any difference, both sides look perfectly fine 👏👏👏
Studio fix fluid side looks younger smoother ! Bright effect
Would you go lighter in the new Mac foundation or stay with 14.5?
Happy Friday!!!!
Happy Friday love🥰
I like the flower side. Studio radiance. But I have dry skin.
Mallory, I love the Studio Radiance foundation as well as other MAC products. I have to use unscented products due to excema, so can’t use Chanel or Dior anymore.
Are these foundations also gluten free as I am celiac. Thank you
Please review the old formula studio fix fluid foundation to the new one in your Mac nc 15 shade on each side ❤
I really enjoy these types of videos and especially this one. Love MAC and I wonder if the finish affects the way the shade looks altho they are slightly different. Totally agree on all observations but personally I'd end up going for the radiant. I'm normal to dry and enjoy moisturized looking skin over a matte finish. 😊
I love love the new MAC studio radiance foundation! I haven’t been able to put it down since I bought it! Have you tried the MOB beauty cream foundation? I’d love to see how it compares to the Patrick Ta cream foundation.
Of course, a foundation with SPF will be perceived as brighter than one without☺

@@shen8171 thanks so much for the info!
What’s your nars foundation shade and Estée Lauder double wear
What would you say you like more? The new Mac radiance serum or the nars light reflecting one?😅
Hahaha just saw both of your comments, definitely prefer the new MAC Radiance! It lasts longer, and looks more like skin.
I am an NC15 in MAC. I went to the store and was matched to a NW10. What? The associate said it ran dark. I got a sample. I wish the shades were like the original stdio fix fluid.
What base is the NW10?
We're same age, same shade in studio fix. In Radiance I'm an 11.5.
I definitely prefer the studio fix over radiance. The reason is because I think the radiance exaggerates texture. I notice more pore texture on the top of the cheek on the radiance side in the camera lighting.
REALLY?!! I feel like I’m the opposite!!! Love hearing different opinions, and what you see that I dont🤍
The radiance foundation seem dark when comparing nc25 to nc25 fix . So should I have gone to a nc20? I would appreciate if someone would help me. Ordering online home delivery.
The Mac Studio Radiance NC14.5 looks like it matches your body more. Nevertheless, u are definitely my shade reference haha ❤️ Thank youu Mallory!!💐
So glad I’m a good shade match for you!!!
It definitely does match my neck / décolletage a lot better than my face.
I’d always love to know which of my recommendations work for you and which don’t!
Will do xoxo

Do you get lip filler or are your lips natural? Great video
She gets filler. She has videos on it
Love the left side! The radiance! Yes ❤
Mac foundations have always been so cakey looking on me at the end of the day
Regular mac studio looks so much better on camera it looks smooth.
Yes the NC 14.5 is little darker
The studio fix side looked better on camera.
Did the old version break you out? Because now I'm thinking it's the same foundation but one is just a TAD bit glowier.... naughty naughty MAC
Both look beautiful on you but I think I like the studio radiance a touch better 😍🩷
Me too❤️
I just bought the new one at Ulta. Even though they supposedly color matched me, I think it’s way too dark. I don’t like it at all.
They literally almost look the same lol. I don’t understand how but they do on your face. Studio radiance looks a little better.
We miss you so much
I miss you all so much and can’t wait to be back
Sameeeeee💀💀💀😭

Studio fix by a hair? Color wise a teeny bit, but mostly the same. 🤷🏻♀
