MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NW48 – Matte Powder Foundation 0.52 oz (15 g)

Overview

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NW48 is a one-step powder foundation designed to deliver a smooth, ultra-matte finish with buildable coverage. Its velvety texture allows the skin to breathe while maintaining a color-true look across a broad shade range. This formula is particularly suitable for those who want reliable oil control and a photos-ready complexion without a heavy feel.

Finish, wear, and color

The product emphasizes a true-matte finish with long wear, helping to keep shine at bay. It is designed to resist sweat and humidity, and the color remains faithful under varying lighting for both everyday wear and photos. A key appeal is the balance between coverage and a natural-looking, non-cakey appearance.

• Long-wearing matte finish that stays true through heat and humidity
• Oil and shine control for up to eight hours in many conditions
• Improve the appearance of pores for a smoother skin texture
• Color-true coverage that reads well in photos and real life
• Non-caking, non-streaking, non-settling formula that blends with skin texture

Real-life use

Used on well-prepped skin, this pressed powder foundation can be worn alone for a polished look or layered for more coverage. It works well for people seeking a matte finish that still looks natural in daylight and on camera.
