counter. Any foundation, if applied repeatedly throughtout the day,
would cake/goop/collect in the creases, etc. As has been suggested,
applying it in the morning with a big fluffy powder brush may very well
provide all the coverage you need.
Although I use several different foundations in rotation, I always
carry Studio Fix with me for touchups (especially handy when you've
got a cold and keep blowing your nose throughout the day).

I bought Studio Fix a month ago and found it too drying for my combo skin.
Now I am using Studio Tech but read reviews after purchasing that it was
"zits in a can", is this true? I have combo skin that breaks out about once
a month (around Aunt Flo), and I've been using it as a concealer mostly.
I was told at the MAC counter that Studio Fix shouldn't be used through out
the day, only once and then touched up with powder. Is this true, does it
cake or dry out your skin? Should I continue using my Studio Fix, but buy
the powder for my purse?
Thanks! Carly

Obviously different foundations react differently on people's skin, but
I'd heard that Studio Fix breaks people out and the Studio Tech didn't.
I've used SF for several years without a problem, so I assume it's
just a case of YMMV.

I use StudioTech all the time and have no breakouts to report. I found
the StudioFix too heavy for me while the Studio Tech was less coverage
and didn't get all cakey. It holds up just fine for me with no touch ups
during the day.

Since Studio Fix is a foundation, you were advised correctly at the MAC counter. Any foundation, if applied repeatedly throughtout the day,
would cake/goop/collect in the creases, etc. As has been suggested,

I tried the powder brush technique last night for blondie as she got
ready for a dance and the coverage was perfect for her...I'm going to
give it another shot myself since I have a full one sitting around.
Thanks for the suggestion.
