So, I wanted to share swatches of the new MAC concealer (officially named the Studio Fix 24-Hour Smooth Wear Concealer) in the hopes that I can help you find your perfect match. I was lucky enough to receive all 33 SHADES as a press sample from MAC. This old-school concealer from MAC is still one of my favorites so I had high hopes for this new release. MAC NC20 is described by the brand as 'Golden beige with golden undertone for light skin.' It is a shade in the Studio Fix Powder Plus range, which is a pressed powder foundation with a matte finish and full coverage that retails for $30.00 and contains 0.52 oz.Īs soon as I saw sneak peek photos of the new MAC concealerI KNEW I had to try it. After comparing several swatches, I have found a list of alternative shades for this cult-favorite foundation. I have another MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation dupe to share with you! The next shade up on the dupe list is 'NW15', a light beige with neutral undertones for light skin (neutral-warm). See more ideas about foundation dupes, makeup dupes, foundation swatches.

On the Brown Thomas website, nc20 is the lightest shade so if anyone knows if they do lighter shades in store can you let me know as I bought the bottle I’m currently using from the MAC counter in Liverpool. It definitely holds up on the skin and I found that the oils don’t come through at all so it definitely stays matte all day long. That way I’d be able to see how well it lasts after being on my skin for about 15-16 hours! I got this in the shade nc20 this time and it matches my skin when I have a little bit of tan on. I decided the best way to test this out after buying it was to wear it to college, on one of the days I’m up at 6am. This is by far my favourite foundation of the two. This retails at MAC counters in Ireland for €36.50.

It contains SPF 15 which is always an added bonus. The foundation does have a really good coverage and looks beautiful on the skin but by the end of the day, if you have oily skin you will notice it looking very shiny. I decided to do more research and found that the foundation contained oil which is why it practically slid off my face by the end of the day. After trying it for about a week, I thought that the foundation didn’t really last that well on my skin.

I wasn’t surprised that I was the lightest shade they had which was nc15. I told the girl working at the counter that I wanted a foundation with good coverage and one that was suitable for oily skin. Apologies for my absence lately! I’ve started my second semester at college and I’ve been trying to get myself organised! I’m back with a post reviewing two of the MAC foundations I’ve been trying recently, Studio Sculpt and Studio Fix Fluid.
