OK I finally got officially foundation matched by a MAC MA the other day. She matched me with Studio Fix Powder in C4- on application it looked good but it did shift a bit and turned orange. Then I tried NC40- she says it's more beige than C line. Did the same thing but upon application the tone was off not enough yellow. Then I wanted to try out C35- she says this is too olive-green toned for me and NC35 would be better since she thinks I have more of a golden beige skin tone ( plus it was the color I used in the past- pretty good match but not enough yellow for me. )
OK here's the question- if she originally matched me up with C4- is it that much different than C35? I thought C35 would have been a better match since it seems like the NC line doesn't have enough yellow or is C35 much more 'Olive' than C4?
Side by side it doesn't look that much different- I was too tired to try out C35 and just got NC35 but should I really have gotten C35 instead and not listen to the MA and trust my instinct?
TIA!

What I Say: Five nights of freddy 7.

The first thing to note is that these two foundations are at different price points. Double Wearretails at $68 AUD for 30 ml, while Studio Fix Fluid retails at $48 AUD for 30 ml. This factor certainly influenced my decision to try Studio Fix Fluid to see if it might be a less expensive alternative to my beloved Double Wear. One thing to note is that MAC does charge an extra $8 AUD for a pump for the foundation, which you can obviously re-use on future bottles.

Both foundations are packaged in glass bottles with a wide mouth and screw-top lid (before you buy a pump from MAC). As you can see in the product pictures, Double Wear comes in a square, thick frosted glass bottle which is quite sturdy (I've dropped it a couple of times without any problems), while Studio Fix Fluid comes in a cylindrical, more delicate glass bottle (which is apparently prone to breakage, although fingers crossed I haven't dropped it yet to find out).

You'll notice in this foundation swatch that Studio Fix Fluid seems to be a better colour match for me. That is definitely true, but the difference between the colours isn't as dramatic as it appears in the photo. However, I would say that Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 is the best colour match I've been able to find for my skin tone. If I were to use Double Wear again, I would probably try Bone, their lightest warm colour. Both brands have a reasonably wide colour selection for people with lighter skin tones.

Both brands claim their foundations have medium to full coverage. I would argue that Double Wear is a full-coverage foundation, while Studio Fix Fluid is a medium coverage foundation. I can easily achieve that flawless, ‘blank canvas' look with Double Wear, while this wouldn't be possible with Studio Fix Fluid without layering it on and looking cakey. On application, both foundations have a matte finish, although Studio FixFluid probably looks more satiny and natural than Double Wear.

I always applied Double Wear with a damp cosmetic sponge, as I found this produced a more even finish than using a brush. System update file transfer transferring media files mtp. However, I have learned to apply Studio Fix Fluid with a foundation brush, as a cosmetic sponge seems to ‘suck up' all the foundation, with very little going onto my face. Both foundations effectively cover my minor acne and any other blemishes.

The price is right bingo game. Baixar adobe acrobat para pc. Where the paths of these foundations diverge is how they wear over time. Double Wear just plain lasts longer on my skin, no matter what happens. I honestly think that Double Wear could survive a nuclear holocaust. For an oily-skinned girl like me, this is a gift from the heavens above. In comparison, maintaining a medium coverage with Studio Fix Fluid would require a couple of touch-ups during the day. I also sometimes notice that Studio Fix Fluid will transfer a little onto my phone if I take a call. However, I tend to feel that Double Wear‘s amazing longevity does come at a price. Over the longer term, Double Wear tends to make my skin a little flaky and dull. In comparison, Studio Fix Fluid‘s ingredients seem to nourish my skin and help keep it moisturised.
