I was about to buy a sheer cover foundation in N43 (AS ADVISED BY MAC) to wear on top, as I have a wedding tomorrow to go to, but when I went to another store because I couldnt get the shade I was after, I was then advised to always go for the studio fix makeup, because its supposed to work together, but then I was told my another MAC Rep on the same counter, that if I use a studio fix powder, then I am adding more colour to my already added foundation and I will end up looking like I have to much on.

I am not sure if this is the wrong match, I get told different information each time I go to a MAC counter.

I was quite surprised how much darker the concealer is, I always thought you should go for a lighter concealer, but when I use a light concealer, my pigmenatation looks grey, because this concealer is dark and I apply only to the pigmentation areas, i find myself having to put more of the foundation on top to even my face out, otherwise I look very patchy. I decided to try MAC Foundation, I was given NC45 CONCEALER pro longwear and NC42 studi fix foundation I an asian and have olive skin, my pigmentation is quite dark. I have hyperpigmentation on my foreheads and cheeks. MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 to the ultimate test of seeing how long it wears and, not surprisingly, the formula lasts for a full 24 hours Available in our most inclusive range of colours.
