It's extremely impressive that they were able to compensate for the oxidization so that when the new formula oxidizes, it comes out to be the same shade as the old formula. Bravo to their chemists!

This video was nothing short of brilliant. It's so obvious that you really thought it out and performed a superb test of the product. MAC should pay you for this video. Thank you! You've convinced me to try out this product!

Hi Risa. I have, as I have gotten older, developed dry skin before my skin was pretty normal, and I used NW20 in the studio fix. However, since my skin has gotten dryer, I went to MAC last year and got myself color matched to the new foundation MAC Studio Raidance, and I was matched up to NC14.5, quite a big jump from NW20 to NC14.5? This foundation is absolutely amazing. I have Cle De Peau, Lamer, Chantecaille, Estee Lauder Double Wear, and this foundation makes my skin look like a porcelain doll. People stop me and ask what skin care I use. It's perfecton, in a bottle❤❤ absolutely love it. Love your videos. I always watch them no matter what

Hi Risa! Dry skin girl here! Thank you for your review for us dry skin girls! On my way to Ulta later to get Mac foundation radiance because of your review!! Love your videos as always! ❤

Risa I trusted your honesty for years and you’ve never steered me wrong - Thank you!

I'm so glad you're happy with the new formula and new shade, Risa. Can't wait to see what they come up with for the new Face & Body, which has been my true holy grail since the 90s!

I appreciate your detailed and honest reviews, Risa, plus all of the extra time you take to compare products. You rock!

Thank you for this wonderful in-depth review, Risa! You're awesome! And the new shade you purchased is just perfection on your skin! Perfect match! Looks amazing on you! 😍

Beautiful color match Risa! Looks lovely on your skin! That foundation hack you shared last week was fabulous! I will only use that application method going forward! Thank you for sharing! 💜

Thank you so much for reviewing the new Studio Fix fluid Lisa-I felt the disappointment too when you said it was being reformulated. What a relief to hear you say it is even better! It looks amazing on you 😊

Thanks for your honesty in EVERY video! You SHOULD love the reformulation… you look just stunning. I am 67 now, we have very different skin types, but you are so relatable; I always feel like we could be sitting at your kitchen table or mine as you give me the scoop on various products to consider. Now that I am well over 50 I realize just how vital skin care/spf are before applying make-up. I look forward to hopefully seeing further candid recommendations on skin care from you; todays options are often so pricey, I find myself asking sales people for samples of creams, primers, spf’s, etc. Thanks for happily encouraging us to do that with foundation, too!

Loved the video , the new shade looks beautiful on you ❤

Thanks Risa! I started with Studio Fix powder plus foundation over 20 years ago and loved it for a long time. Now that I am older (57), I no longer use powder foundations and I am always on the hunt for the perfect one. My holy grail was Estée Lauder Double Wear Light and I was truly devastated when it was discontinued. I’ve yet to find anything close. I am also still mourning the loss of my holy grail lipstick of almost three decades - MAC Viva Glam V. 😭😭😭 I can’t get over it! 😅😅

With you re: Viva Glam V! In researching dupes I just ordered Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in 619 Rose & Shine. We’ll see if it’s close 🤞🏼💄

Thank you for this video! I was so happy to see that it wasn't discontinued. I placed an order for the same shade that I currently wear in the old formula. Will be curious to see if I need to adjust the shade as you did.

Very interesting and thorough video! Never used Mac but I will try it. Thank you

Thanks so much for this review! I was waiting for your opinion. I recently opened my backup bottle of the original formula, so I won’t need the new one for quite a while, but I’m so glad to know they didn’t ruin it with the reformulation!

Excellent video, very helpful!

RISA!!!! i was looking for foundation for high humidity, on top of super oily skin & texture issue…i found you!!! i absolutely LOVE your style & beauty!! i watched your hacks video…PLEASE keep you face structure as natural as you can! i don’t care what others say about your nose…you are gorgeous & are aging BEAUTIFULLY!! you own it😉 keep it real & honest 👏👏

Very honest thorough review.❤

OMG, Risa, Thank you so much for this video! MAC studio fix is my OG that I use almost daily and I am so nervous about this new formula! I, too, have to mix two shades (NW10 & N4.5), so I'll definitely be looking at the shades. I have a more cool undertone, so I I guess we'll see. I'm so relieved that your experience has been a positive one! Can't thank you enough! ❤

OMG...I'm so relieved! I've been anxiously waiting for someone I trust to do a review on the new formula. I was seriously distressed when I got the email from MAC about the reformulation. Sounds like I may have to redo color matching, though. I'm neutral undertone and my go-to color has been NC15. I can live with that, though, as long as the new formula is holding up as well as the old one always did! Thank you, Risa!

Thanks for doing a comparison. It's great when a reformulation works as well or even better than the original. I appreciate you so, so much !

Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I will try out.

I have been a clinque girl since high school. I wanted to try something different and bought this. I'm wearing it for the first time today. It is AMAZING! chef's kiss for sure.

After seeing your video on applying foundation by swirling in your palm. I tried it and YES. Surprising made a difference. I also prefer to have my foundation darker also.

Great news, Risa. I've worn the Studio Fix fluid for many years. NW20 or C3.5 are my shades. The pump is a huge plus. Thank you for this news and your review!

The combo of this foundation and one size powder has become my holy grail combo instantly. I used to use the old Mac foundation and this new one is even better. I live in hot humid Florida and this combo with the one size powder is a necessity!!

I'm 53 and I've used MAC Studio for many years because like you I have oily skin. I was thinking I'd have to use Estée Lauder Double Wear only now when I heard it was discontinued. I tried the new MAC Studio FIX and I'm not disappointed at all. I actually like it better I think.

Hi Risa! While I’m a dry skin person and not interested in this foundation, I still enjoyed your review, you’re so thorough! I also wanted to tell you a huge thanks for the recent hacks, I’ve been rocking them since your video and enjoying it! Thank you, thank you! ❤

Just wanna say thank you for your very extensive test and review! I am rather new in the makeup world and had just purchased this foundation last week (new version), but am lacking comparison to other medium to full coverage mat foundations. So, I am glad to have a second reference now (besides „my“ MAC makeup artist) and am looking forward to making my experiences with it :)

Thanks Risa! Im excited to rry this now! I wore Studio Fix years ago but stopped as it started to feel too heavy on me, be interesting to see if the new one is better for me 😊

Thank you Risa as always. I hate reformulations; they always scare me. I know it sounds silly but once I find a product I like to stick with it. I have dry skin/normal skin. Lovely look Risa!

I tried the Morphe foundation you recommended and holy cow, I love it. Not a Morphe girl, but it's great. I used your new technique to apply and it was so pretty. I think warming the foundation in your hand that way makes all the difference. Will be using that technique with all my foundations going forward!

I just purchased this and love it. I too have oily skin. Thanks. It's perfect.

Enjoyed the video and your comparisons. The newer color does look better than the samples. Beautiful lady!

You’re hair looks so pretty!

Love your black top. I have dry mature skin and bought the radiance foundation. I like it.

The foundation looks beautiful on you I have very dry skin so i got the radiant one and love it

Thanks for honest reviews! I see a lot of those “I love everything “ over here on YT too. I’m getting older and I just ordered the Radiate one while Ulta was having a good sale on it! I have yet to really try it!

I also put my foundation in my palm. Seems it is better this way and uses less foundation. Thanks for the tip.

Great video!! Thank you

Yes im one if the combo-to-dry skin viewers and your tips still are very relevant and helpful to me, thank you. Plus im 55 so the wrinkles are another issue altogether!

I don’t even use studio fix but knew this would upset or worry so many people when the news came out xxxx

Thank you for this! It’s been my go-to foundation for 15 years! I stray- but always come back. I have been matched by many counter specialists as cool leaning neutral. Seems correct. Have always worn MAC NC20 in foundation but a NW in powder. 😵‍💫

I started putting foundation in the palm of my hand and have seen a difference. Thank you! Foundation looks nice

I recently bought the true skin foundation from Nikki Larose recommendation and I thought it was OK, but not as special as she had said. Of course, her technique is amazing because she’s a make up artist. This morning I traded with the foundation technique that you shared of putting it in the palm of your hand, and it looks stunning! Thanks for the tip. P.S. I had already started applying liquid and cream blush on my hand and pre mixing it there to make sure it’s evenly distributed already partially blended before applying to my face-if someone reading this hasn’t tried that I highly recommend for a flawless airbrushed finish.

Admission. Ive never tried a MAC foundation. Loads of lipsticks but i am dry and like the hydration. Well done video Risa!

Thanks for the info. I hate when folks get rid of our holy grails. I wore their blush margin forever and they discontinued it. I was fortunate enough to be in a store one day when they had their remaining stock on sale. I bought every single one of them and still have a few. You can bet your bottom dollar I'll be scraping & scrimping every single morsel out that I can. And then cry when they're gone :)

So perfect.

I love this shade on you. You are definitely a neutral. You can carry off more yellow based, but this definitely makes your skin look so natural. I am going to try the Radiance, as my skin is dry. BTW, I love your earrings. Have a great day!

PS I love your makeup and hair colour!!!! ❤

I just had my colour match for the new formulation done a couple of days ago. I used to use NC10 in the winter and NC15 in the summer, but I left with N4 (which was a perfect match after oxidization). I don’t feel the coverage is quite the same, and I felt like there was a bit more shine after a few hours, but I felt “glowy” versus “greasy.” I’ll keep using it for years to come, I’m sure.

I agree that the studio fix is my holy grail also! Another favorite is the All About Face that I bought per your recommendation and I love it too. Of course the price is better than Mac but still love it

Risa, I’ve been using Estée Lauder double wear for at least 20 years (I’m 56) and I’m wanting to try a different foundation. What foundation is your absolute favorite? I’m considering this MAC Studio Fix and also the Smashbox. I value your opinion and think we have very similar tastes. Your makeup is always gorgeous and I cannot think of anyone else that I would trust to help me with this decision. Thank you so much for any help.

Risa, thank you for recommending a Mac option for your dry skinned gals! I wish you had shown us your entire outfit for going out to dinner at Joe's Stone Crab - boy I miss going to the original Joe's in Miami Beach. South FL was my work territory in the 80's & always went to Joe's. Hope you had a great dinner! Cheers from Central FL🎉!

I came back to MAC recently after a decade away and I gotta say, I'm very impressed. Their formulations are great across the board. They honestly have some of the best lipstick formulas out there, the new reformulated Macximal lipstick are fantastic, and their powder kiss line is great. The foundation formulas are excellent. My only complaint is that a lot of their foundations don't go light enough for a fair skin, or if they do, the gap between the 5 and the 10 is huge. I wish they came out with a 7 or something like that. But yeah, MAC still got it, and I'm not surprised that they've weathered the past decade of all these new brands coming out. Looks like their reformulating efforts are paying off too.

Risa, I did watch your hack video on how to apply foundation, and I love it. I tried it on Saturday, and my foundation looked great.

I always look forward to your videos !

Dry skin girls: I am a die hard studio fix fluid fan and find that if I use a moisturizing primer/SPF I can wear this well. (So if you are dry but still love a soft matte finish don't give up) Risa, thank you so much for the review. I'll go into a MAC store for color matching based on your experience. *Fingers crossed* I too have always had to blend two shades, hoping I win with a single, reformulated shade!

I’ve been putting foundation in my palm too. Defintely makes application look smoother

Hi. Used the old formula on my dry skin for 6 years and was very happy. Will the new formula definitely not work then or do they both feel exactly the same still on your skin to continue with new formula?

You do great comparison videos. Thank you! Studio Fix doesn't break out your skin? I have an outsized fear of MAC foundation products from past experience.

Hi Risa, what is your shade in Estee Lauder Double Wear?

Hi Risa, I have oily skin and I can not use Matt foundation, it increases the oil production of my T Zone. I always have Togo with hydrating one.

Your earrings are so pretty!! Where did you get them?? ❤

Does Mac fix cover melasma? Would I need a darker shade to cover?
