MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 in NC35 ($27 for 30ml) is my holy grail foundation. It has changed my life forever. For the last few years, I had kept on holding myself back from acquiring foundations from MAC Cosmetics because I was undecided which shade I fall. But now I am confident to say that I am NC35 in MAC Studio Fix formula. I was simply surprised to see that the NC35 really matches my yellow undertones.
What can I say? This product makes me happy and gives me instant confidence.

When I get the chance, I might consider purchasing the MAC Foundation Pump ($9.00) for my MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 in NC35 because pouring the formula is giving me minor headaches and it is a mess.
Before & After.
The BEFORE photo was intentional. I really planned to scare you with a very bad angle shot and a vicious-looking face. My mug has pimple scars, which I obtained from high school, my facial skin complexion is darker than the rest of my body, and oh my, check out the noticeable under eye circles.
The AFTER photo shows a better version of myself. MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 in NC35 becomes my second skin. I also put on some product on under my jaw and my neck, and I also put on some liquid concealer under my eyes, and wore a semi-happy look. Heh.
PRO TIP: The water effortlessly helps to blend the MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF in NC35.
I took this photo at our small balcony where the sun is so bright. It is my private place for selfie photo sessions.
I still want to achieve the natural and no-makeup makeup look so I am still contemplating on how to apply this liquid foundation as thinly as possible. I am sort of keeping myself away from putting more than two layers because having a forced face is klutzy for me, at least. I layered this formula using my MAC 190 Foundation Brush and spritzed my temple with water.
My eyebrows are starting to grow again and they tend to sag for some unknown reason. They are naturally bushy and are giving me a hard time to properly fill-in with eyeliners.
