If MAC’s Studio Fix Powder Plus foundation has been a staple in your makeup kit, but you find the price to be getting more expensive by the day, why not give Rimmel’s Stay Matte Pressed Powder a try? The Studio Fix is priced at around $35 and the Stay Matte powder is only $6.50. MAC Eyeshadows VS Drugstore Dupes. Image via Rose&Pine. Try Maybelline Master Fix Setting + Perfecting Powder in place of Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder and save about $27. Sephora / Drugstore.com Get Maybelline Master Fix powder here. The New look- pure colour pressed powder is definitely a hidden drugstore gem in my opinion. Numerous times I have walked past the stand in New look, swatched the beauty products, and thought to myself of how this powder reminded me so much of beloved Mac studio fix powder.

I'm not usually one for dupes. I just prefer to stick to what I know and have found, as I think this makes it a little easier. However, I feel as though I have found the perfect dupe for MAC's Studio Fix Fluid.
Firstly, I chose to go for MAC Studio Fix Fluid due to the fact that my skin is combination skin. I suffer from both oily and dry however, it is more to the oily side, so I needed a foundation which would last all day without budging and I found this within MAC's foundation. Although I love this foundation silly amounts, it does make me break out if I wear it on a daily basis. Therefore I set out to find a dupe, and ended up with Revlon Colorstay foundation.
In the Studio Fix Fluid I wear NC15 (as I went to a counter and got matched up), so I gathered that I would need quite a pale colour to suit my skin tone. After trying all of the shades, I found that 'Ivory' matched NC15 near enough perfectly, so I settled for that. Usually with a foundation I always have to set it with a translucent powder, but I have found that with Colorstay I do not have to do this at all, and it does not budge throughout the day. This really impressed me, as with Studio Fix Fluid I have to apply a little bit of powder to just ensure that it stays in place. Another similarity Studio Fix Fluid and Colorstay have in common is that they are both SPF 15, which is important for daily sun rays on the skin.
I bought Studio Fix Fluid for £22.00, and you can find that HERE.
I bought Colorstay for £12.99 from Boots, and you can find that HERE.
Yes the Colorstay is a little pricey for a drugstore foundation, but it is near enough half the price of the Studio Fix Fluid, and it is perfect for a daily foundation when saving your better one for special occasions. Also, it doesn't make you break out so what could be better?
Have you found any foundation dupes recently?
Hey Guys & Dolls i have an interesting little blog for use today if you are a MAC Fix Fluid addict! Have you ever used Revlon? No? YOU SHOULD! There foundations are just a lot AMAZE BALLS! I found with my abundance of knowledge when it comes to make up (i joke) :0 that Revlon colourstay is a f' off to the hills too good! They are i think £12.45 for one:Drugstore Dupe For Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation
They come in two different types of foundations, one for oily/combination and one for dry/normal. As you can guess Dry/Normal is more moisturising and Oily/Combination is for Oily skin! They last alllllllllllll day seriously they do not move! Which is why i <3 them! I have more of a Dry skin and i use to the Oily/Combination foundation, i just moisturise well before using them!
MAC is £19.50:
MAC Fix Fluid is brilliant foundation also i would say it medium to buildable foundation, i would say it would last 5/6 hrs not as long as Revlon and i would start to get quite shinny around the usual spots (nose, forehead chin.) Here is a good video about MAC's foundation range:
So there is a good we bargain to be had if you want to try them instead of MAC Fix Fluid. However i would recommend them just to the NW lovers as there shades i feels have more pink undertones, but they do have one or two neutral shades in there to i would use Nude and I’m a NC25 however there is very little yellow pigment in comparison to my beloved Simpson look! This shade i would use when my tan has worn of a good bit but still the colour is very good & suits allot of skins so have a little nosey!
I would apply my MAC studio fix fluid with a MAC 187:
I would apply my Revlon colour stay with a Illamasqua highlighter brush:
Before applying my Revlon & studio fix i would spray my face with this bad boy which i also use for my eyebrows (see my eyebrow post)
It just makes the application easier and you can alter the coverage of the foundation.
They also carry a foundation called Revlon photoready Makeup. This foundation I’m in love with ATM! Would not be suitable for oily skins but it has a little glow base to it and its perfect for summer. The shades are far better than the Colour stay.
