MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation New - 0.42oz - Ulta Beauty

Warning to Mac nc25 users! This product has changed and the company has never let anyone know. This is a bright orange as it appears in this picture. Called this company severaltimes as a loyal customer of 20 years and nobody could help me the recommended colors they suggested or not the same time for everyone to call AC and let them know what you think

I’ve been using this for 20 years. The new formula is Horrible!! So much Orange/yellow undertones!! I’m off to find a replacement 😭

I’ve been wearing this powder foundation for about 20 years, and never did I think I’d have to find something new. The change is absolutely HORRIBLE!! Not the same product at all! The colors are very orange, dusty and don’t cover blemishes like before. It also ran out within two weeks use where my other one would last 2-3 months. Why change a good product into something awful? You’ve lost a customer after having to return 4 times to find my right color and it’s still orange. Do not buy!!

I’m really disappointed, because instead of improving the product, the changes have made it worse. I truly hope they bring the old formula back.

I have been using this product for over 25 years no problems amazing coverage! Why Why change something that is a fan favorite! Shades are way off also in new formula. I can’t believe I finally have to find a new product and new brand after 25 years. Goodbye Mac it’s been a good run .

Love the new version. Dosnt cake up 1/2 way through anymore!

Horrible new formula. Been using this powder for 10 years now I have to switch powders. Go back to the old formula please.

I dislike this new formula so much just doesn’t do the coverage it did and color is way off.

The shades are so messed up with this new formula, haven't found the PERFECT match but found a workable one. That said, this formula is MUCH better at doing what it says. Yes it creates more loose powder when you grab product with your brush, but I don't find my face to be nearly as oily at the end of the day. With the old formula I would need to blot my face after 4-5 hours daily. I no longer need to do that. It is also a more build-able formula so I dont look as caked up as before. All in all I like it a lot, just need to find that perfect shade.

This formula runs out in less than a month. Never was like that with the old formula. It’s like dust.comes up so easily and actually is not better for oil. Bring back the original formula!!! Also took away C7. I e been using that for 20 years.

I have been using this same color and product for 15 years. I thought they just changed the compact packaging but the entire formula was changed! My face broke out and the color is darker. I’m out $43 and I don’t think I can return it now. On the search for a new product.

The old formula was a thousand time better. I used it for more than 20 years. This powder is awful!!!!!

Terrible change to a MAC product that I have been using for over 15 years maybe even 20. The refillable cartridge kept coming out causing it to fall on the floor and break after only using it a few times. I do not recommend.

Yes, the shades changed. Re-check your shades - as I went from my original shade to a few shades lighter than before and it’s perfect. Yes, it’s a little cakey (always has been for me since 2016) but the coverage is about 8/10 now with nothing else on for me. I still prefer it because no other powder foundation has compared. Yes it’s a little less pigmented, but it still gets the job done. Still my go to, but definitely re-check your shades.

Mac changed their formula and therefore the shades changed. I did not know this as Target makes no mention of it on their site, so I ordered the shade I have worn for 10 years. When it came in, it looked too dark but I verified it was the right shade and swatched it on my skin. Nope. Way too dark. So I verified targets return policy, packed it up carefully, and returned the obviously defective product to target. Imagine my surprise when they kept the item and declined my refund! I could have at least sold it on eBay or something but now I’m out $40. There is not even an option to contact them to discuss or dispute their decision. I am not happy. After this is when I went on Mac’s website to discover the shades had changed and they have a convenient chart to tell you what your new shade is based on your old shade. So I ordered from them. Love the product, not happy with Target at all.

Been using studio fix powder for more than 10 years, and this new version is terrible. Promoted to be longer lasting and better than old version… Definitely not better than the old formula for sure. Barely lasts a week, color is way too dark, and doesn’t offer the same amount of coverage or look. Hoping something changes or might need to find a new option elsewhere.

Terrible , very disappointed of the new formula

The foundation is great as usual, but Mac just did a re-packaging. The shade was way off and very orange so I had to end up getting a different color and the girl had to re-color match me. If you used to use NC 40 I recommend changing to N5.

Even using MAC for at least 10+ years. This powder is basically translucent and provides little coverage compared to the last formula it also is dusty and gets everywhere. Would not recommend. Hopefully they return to their old formula or it’s time to try another brand.

The new formula is horrible.
