What the gurus are saying

This foundation holds its finish all day without looking cakey or feeling overly dry, striking a balance that suits oily and combination skin well. Gurus praise how it stays exactly as applied and delivers genuine 24-hour wear, though those with very dry skin may want to focus on thorough prep beforehand, as the formula can settle into patchy areas if the base isn't well-hydrated first.

"I have a Studio Fix in NC27. Everyone wore Studio Fix at the time, Studio Fix Fluid, I never really used the powder unless somebody requested it. This would have been my Studio Fix, this was in the old packaging when the pump was separate."

"This is a 24-hour matte foundation with oil control. As a person who is a little bit on the oily side, it's not ridiculously matte and it's not a ridiculously drying formula. I tend to prefer my foundations to be a little bit more on the satin side, and this is a beautiful, beautiful formula. It creates a flawless base for your makeup and it stays put all day. When they say 24-hour wear they mean it. The main reason it's described as a matte foundation with oil control is that it absolutely stays looking exactly the way you applied it all day long. This is the foundation that I choose when I know that I need something to last and perform. It has a very sort of mousey texture to it. If you are extremely dry it may settle into certain areas, so you want to make sure that you are really taking your skin prep seriously."
