NEW VS OLD! MAC REFORMULATED MY HOLY GRAIL STUDIO FIX FOUNDATION...is it RUINED!?😡 

I agree with you girl WHAT HAS MAC DONE TO MY FAV FOUNDATION FOR LITERALLY EVER SINCE I STARTED PLAYING WITH MAKEUP MAC THIS IS A CRIME

I think the new one looks slightly more yellow but also has slightly better coverage. And I agree with you about the contour

Do you prefer the Mac or Estee Lauder Double Wear - which is your holy holy grail?

I'm 55 and Studio fix has been my holy grail for as long as I can remember. Thank goodness for your review! I can see the blush has blended in with the new formula but that looks beautiful. x

I can tell a difference. On the old side the blush and highlight stayed exact where you put it (sticker formula as makes sense) but the new side the blush and highlight melted in giving a softer look to the blush & highlight.

New formula is more yellow but I want my old studio fix fluid.. new formula is thin, old formula has better coverage

Looks beautiful Nikkia!!💙💙💙

I just love watching your foundation reviews!!!! please test the urban decay face bond

Thank you Nikkia, you’re a rockstar ❤

Thank you for this review I’m been watching you since before I was 15 I started maybe watching back in 2014 fast forward now being 22 and you introduced me to Mac it is my holy grail foundation and I’m so glad to hear you say you love it I just hope it last through the gym sweat and all lol like the old formula did, the close up on camera you can tell the difference but the finish still looks beautiful I’m sad but looking forward to trying it. Thank you again 🫶

Nikkia you are a gorgeous pregnant mama, blessings to you and Brandon❤️

I’m so glad the new one is still good! I was so sad they changed the Dior Backstage and now it doesn’t work for me and it was my fave

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m definitely gonna restock with the new studio fix.

Ok good! I haven't worn this foundation in years but good to know the new formula isn't terrible. I may give it a try.

Nikkia, what is that lip combo?! It’s GORGEOUS! I need that for summer

You have referenced this foundation for life, I know that you're color NC30 because you have said it like 1000000... times 😂Lol I'm glad the new formula is good.

Do you prefer this one over Haus foundation ?

Please can you share what skincare you did before putting the foundation on?

I’m so freaking excited they are putting pumps on the foundations 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Nice comparison! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Kosas BB cream! I love it but have a feeling it won’t control your oils & may be too light of coverage for you. 😊❤

waited for this review because you're the only one I trust with foundations 🙏🏻 and I'm glad the new formula doesn't disappoint of my holy grail foundation 😭💚

I’ve not tried either yet! What product/color do you have on your lips? So pretty!

I wore that foundation on my wedding day in 2006! I did my own makeup and it was amazing if I do say so myself lol. I loved that foundation too❤

Glad to hear the new formulated MAC Studio Fix Fluid is a good improvement from the previous formulation. I'm confused with the shade comparison with the old formulation I've watched other reviews on RU-vid and many say the shade of the new formulation is lighter than the previous formulation and some said including you Ms Nikkia Joy said the shades are still the same. Does the new formulated MAC Studio Fix Fluid oxidize like the previous formulation? My shade in Estee Lauder Double Wear is 3W1 Tawny and it's a perfect match for my skin tone and for MAC Studio Fix Fluid my shade is NC25 because MAC Studio Fix Fluid normally oxidize so I go a shade lighter and after minutes passed the shade NC25 matches my skin tone. So in the new formulated MAC Studio Fix Fluid should I still go with NC25?

can you compare it to the new urban decay foundation??

I love the scent too! I wish they would make a body spray out of their scent ❤😂😊

You were born for this review lol thanks for sharing! ❤

The new formula is magic in a bottle. Its sooooo much better than the old one and is a replacement for too faced matte RIP. I can wear this all day, hike or play pickleball and not powder amd it never gets oily or shiny. Its incredible

bigger shade range ? i was never able to try the old mac as the shade range was completely off either to orange or to yellow as a oily/combo/dehydrated skin type i have a issue with separating i always try and keep my ingredients matching however some brands offer a foundation/primer as different bases but claim they were designed to work together so they shouldn't clash is this something people recommend or to good to be true ?

How does the longevity compare to the Estée Lauder foundation?

I agree with you too!!! I hate the new one

Should I worry about my face breaking out with this one? I have issues with silicone based formulas filling my pores and causing deep or white head acne.

They also came out with a new skin tint moisturizer

Since the formula has changed the foundation doesn’t look as it supposed to, it seems a lot more dry and it doesn’t get absorbed by my skin anymore - you can just see it on my skin and it gives that crusty look to it even tho I didn’t change anything in my skincare whatsoever… I’m really sad about it bc now I have to look for a new foundation after all these years 😢

I'm so scared to buy this! I've been using the old one for 15 years 😢... but I have hope after watching this!

well being out of my old stuff, I finally caved and got the new one. Not happy with how it goes on. seems a bit spotty, and worst of all they added a very strong fragrance. The old formula, at least here in Canada, did not have any scent to me at all. This new one is very strong smelling. testing it now. Hoping the fragrance doesn't irritate my skin. I suspect It will, my skin is so sensitive. It may be going back to Sephora very soon. Uggg so not looking forward to finding a new foundation. MAC what have you done??

I was a bit worried, but you put my mind at ease!

Can you compare it to the Bobbi Brown?

What are you wearing on your lips? Beautiful look ❤

Does this work as well as the Double wear ? I’m looking for a replacement but to me there’s no better foundation

It doesn’t hace full coverage anymore! It sucks. Can anybody recomend one that is like the old versión?

I was soooooo mad!!!! I hated the new formula..made me greasy🤦‍♀️

The new formula looked bit more matte than the old. Is it just me but it seems like the new formula seemed to have covered a bit more than the old formula. Still beautiful.

I love to hear this! I was thinking of trying this one out! I recently found out that too faced is discontinued there matt foundation 😢would this be a good replacement??

They did the same thing with MAC Face and Body :(

Hi, I like the new 1 also! Has a lot of skin loving Ingredients in it!😊

I think the new side looks better...less shiny!

they reformulated the MAC Prolongwear a while back and ruined it!

I'm allergic to xanthan gum, so sadly I can no longer use their foundation.

The powder formula is quite good though. RIP old fluid formula!

Kinda looks your blush wore better on the old formula side

I’m curious if the new formula will break me out as the old one gave me cystic acne 😅 I’d HATE to be a bride that that happened to

I think the new one is darker than the original. It looked more yellow

Mac better not mess w pro long wear concealer or studio fix powder!!! I didn't get into fluid. Love the powder tho and always have nothing better and tried so many! Are u sure u are NC??? U look keep N or NW

The original formula gave me cystic acne. Hopefully the new formula doesn’t and I’ll be able to use it 🎉

❤❤❤

New Studio Fix - After all day starts separating and it does not stay smooth - many complaints on the mac cosmetics page - The BEST GOAT is gone - Begging for it to come back!

Don't like new formula at all not as much coverage also very shiny after few hrs why dud they have to change

I can’t tell a difference:). I wish I wasn’t inept with fluid foundations, lol

The old side looks slightly heavier and more matte for sure

Rt side looks heavy

Old one has glow and look like skin no one can notice you wear something, unfortunately new one you look you put something more dry and not oxidize so you need to check again new shade as well give patchy look cannot imagine they ruined my holy grail foundation

The vic Beckham nose contouring does look muddy I’m afraid. Looks unblended sorry. Mac looks the same

Old formula was better. 😢 New one removes easily and not waterproof

I do not like new formula. Looks too yellow and sticky.

first

Its thin i don't like it

The new formula is garbage.

Have you read the one and only review on Mecca? Poor girl said she's been using the original for 15 years but the new formula broke apart and creased and she doesn't like it. It looked great on you Nikkia.

Yes I can tell a difference. The original finish is more smoothing looking and less heavy. Which to me is odd because of the additional skincare?🩷
