MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NC35 — Powder-to-Foundation Compact, Full-Coverage Matte 0.52 oz

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NC35 is a dual-purpose compact that combines full-coverage foundation and a matte setting powder in one portable 0.52 oz case.

Designed to simplify your routine, this powder-foundation hybrid blends pigment and texture to even skin tone, conceal imperfections, and control shine without adding heavy buildup. The NC35 shade is formulated for medium skin with neutral-warm undertones, offering buildable coverage and a long-wearing matte finish that adapts to daily wear. Its compact format makes it travel-friendly and convenient for touch-ups throughout the day.

How does Studio Fix NC35 deliver both foundation and powder benefits?

MAC engineered this product as an all-in-one solution, combining finely-milled pigments with smoothing powders to provide a foundation-like opacity while retaining a soft, powder finish. The formula layers evenly so you can go from light to full coverage without caking.

• Full-coverage pigments to conceal discoloration and blemishes
• Powder particles that blur texture and minimize shine
• Buildable application for customized coverage
• Compact case for on-the-go reapplication

How should I apply this powder-foundation for best results?

Apply with a dense brush or sponge for fuller coverage, or use a light hand with a fluffy brush for a natural, dusted look. Sweep or press product onto the face and blend outward into the neck to avoid visible lines and ensure seamless color match.

• Use a sponge to press product into skin for heavier coverage
• Use a brush to diffuse product for lighter, airbrushed finish
• Layer in thin coats instead of one heavy application
• Blend along jawline and neck for a natural transition

Will Studio Fix NC35 stay matte and last through the day?

The formula is designed for long wear and a matte complexion, helping control oil and reduce shine for several hours under normal conditions. Longevity depends on skin type, climate, and activity; blotting papers or a brief touch-up can refresh the finish if needed.

• Matte powder base helps absorb excess oil
• Buildable coverage maintains a consistent finish
• Compact is ideal for mid-day touch-ups
• Works well with primer for extended wear

What skin tones and concerns is NC35 best suited for?

NC35 is targeted for medium-complexion individuals with neutral-to-warm undertones seeking full coverage and shine control. It’s effective for masking uneven tone, mild redness, and minor texture while keeping a natural matte appearance.

• Medium skin tones with warm or neutral undertones
• Anyone wanting full, buildable coverage in a powder format
• Suitable for combination to oily skin types preferring a matte finish
• Great as a travel-ready foundation and quick concealer alternative

Who is this for: MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NC35 is ideal for people who prefer a compact, multitasking base—those who want foundation-level coverage with the control and finish of a powder. It suits busy routines, frequent travelers, and anyone wanting a reliable, matte-looking base without the weight of liquid foundation. If you need a portable product that evens skin tone, reduces shine, and allows quick touch-ups, this compact offers a versatile, professional-grade option.
