I’ve used MAC studio fix for several years. Love it. Great tip thanks! I’ve only discovered watching these make up tutorials on CZcams in the past few days. I prefer watching you over all of the other women I have seen. You get straight to the point tell us about the product and we don’t have to hear about all the other things going on in your life.
I followed this (but sometimes I use a damp beauty blender) and people thought I used a liquid foundation (and I HATE liquid foundations!). It kinda leaves this barely noticeable film on the pan but then it still works. I still appreciate this video because now I get full coverage without looking cakey!
I suggesting you use a mac studio fix foundation powder first then spray some mac finish mist on your face. You will have the same result and not ruin the product. Try it !!!
I can't believe I didn't think of this. It's so simple yet so smart. I never wanted to add water to powders thinking it would turn them into mush. Thanks !!!!!!!
This is an awesome idea! I have sensitive dry skin from rosacea and and I can’t use liquid foundation. I’m so glad I saw this! I have Mac studio plus powder foundation and Lancôme dual powder foundation. I tried your method with both products and wow it’s like a cream on your face but dries very nicely, and I make sure to really hydrate before applying and then use a hydrating setting mist, and my face doesn’t feel too dry at all when doing this. The staying power is like wow too!!!!! Thank you for this idea it’s a game changer for me and it does cover all my redness too. 😁
wayne I have to thank you again, because I just tried this today with a Body Shop foundation and although I still need concealer to hide my blemishes (sad face), I have a beautiful light coverage on the areas that don't need a full coverage and I look so much better! YAY! More reasons to love you!
Yes, you can do this with Fix+, although it's a total waste & makes no difference. And yes, you can do this with loose minerals. Even a sponge puff works. I often do this with MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural when I want super light coverage on 'good skin' days. I've also always used a lighter shade around the center of my face, cheekbones & eye area. It works great to brighten my face up a bit & add more dimension.
one last addition ... with eshiko powder as finishing touch, airbrushed look effect without all the heaviness of the products used is without any doubt would catch even the most discerning person's attention and would make him want to dissect your face to figure how such finish is achieved ... (a slight exaggeration but i hope you get my drift) :) thanks for your great ideas. i love make-up even more now :)
I discovered using a damp sponge with my Studio Tech cream foundation gave me an amazing even coverage which is so sheer and doesn't look as cakey compared to using it dry. My skin looked flawless after!
I love watching your videos! I am always learning something new from your amazing techniques. I wanted to know if you could make a videos on the following: (1) what MAC Fix Plus Shades an artist should carry, (2) how to touch up make up in an emergancy situation. For example, crying or even changing up an eye makeup look completely without disturbing the remaining face. Can't wait to see more!!! :-)
Thank you for this! I've been waiting for this makeup my whole life. I just turned 54, with oily skin and large pores. The wet application is the way to go. I actually look forward to applying this makeup everyday. NW20 is spot on for me and I get compliments on my skin all the time since I've started using it. You're the best!
I am so happy that you are strong enough to come back and chase your dream...others are courageous enough to do that. Please remember that you will soon be away from these terrorists (classmates) and you will move on to bigger and better opportunities. I continue to wonder why we can't support each other when we certainly have no trouble ridiculing each other. Best of luck to you Ariel!!
OMG! I'm new to your channel and truly enjoy your tutorials, advice, rants, and raves. I love the StudioFix and you just blew my mind in the first few seconds. I've wondered why sometimes l didn't like the finish and this settled my curiosity. I'm SO glad CZcams kept bug'n me to look at your channel.😁💕
ive been using the same technique only i used the airbrush thinner (idea from your previous upload), using mac full coverage and the skin finish products with either a brush or the beauty blender sponge. technique leaves the skin with the most beautiful skin like finish plus a natural glow with no traces of full coverage heaviness and powdery texture of any powdery product. Ive also tried using the airbrush thinner with eye shadow brushes and product, this gives the most amazing vibrant finish
For the past year, i've been spraying my face with fix + and then just applying the powder over that. Until I ran out and couldn't afford to by more, so I just started using water. I never thought of spraying the BRUSH! My way also doesn't give a lot of coverage, so i've been using face and body foundation before the powder, but that's been making it look cakey and gross as the day goes on. Can't wait to go try this right now hahaha
Wow Wayne I have to say this was brilliant! I tried it today and the finish is so nice, I don't like wearing a liquid foundation for everyday so mainly I stick to powders, however using the studio fix can look a little powdery but doing this just made it look gorgeous and very natural! Thanks so much for yet another helpful tip! :)
Wayne, you are costing me a fortune, after yesterday's post on how great the Mac 217 is I added another 3 brushes to my tool kit. You know how it is, when you're there I couldn't resist buying paint pots, lip liner, lipstick....and I guess tomorrow will be another trip to the Mac store for some Studio Finish and god only knows what else I will walk out with. Thanks...I really do mean thank you for you wonderful insight into makeup :)
I watch you all the time and this by far is one of my favorite looks! i used to wear the studio fix dry, but I think it looks better when you wet the brush! Face is smoother looking.
Ive been looking at this foundation for a week now and what are the chances that you'd cover it in a tutorial! This is why im subscribed. Your the best
I'm so happy u made this video,I have been using this foundation for like the past year dry,and then I suddenly decided to wet the sponge to see how it went on and its great!I feel like it looks so much more natural...and I love ur videos :)
Your skin looks fab at the end of the vid! Am a fan of powder foundations as I find them super quick and convenient. Will definitely be giving this a go.
Thanks you sooo much for this vid! It applies so nicely with a damp brush and covers my roseacea completely! I finally have a smooth finish and no mucking around with concealer needed. You're the man!
Thanks for this video!! I've had my Mac studio fix foundation powder for forever. I felt like it just didn't work for me but I'm going to try this and just maybe I can start to use it. This was my very first foundation!! You are the best!!
highly recommend this video for you! This video made me literally love my mac studio fix powder. This will look natural (or as if you put liquid foundation) when you use a mosturizer and a primer before application.
PS ... worked exactly the same with mac studio sculpt foundation ... 2 drops of the thinner, mix well, it spreads like butter on the skin and blending is effortless
I just bought two shades, I'm also severely pale. I got NW20 and NW15. It's really nice to find a foundation, that doesn't make you orange. I hope this helped.
I just bought this tonight and I was already thinking it looked too powdery and one dimensional, so to speak. I'm going to try this as soon as my new brushes get here. *muah* ;)
i love all your videos and completely trust your opinion! i just did bought this foundation and did this exact tutorial and OMG! You have converted me to this particular powder foundation (FYI this is my first time using powder foundation)! I have combination skin and have found NARS sheer glow and Makeup Forever HD to melt off my face halfway between my 8hr shift especially my Tzone! This held better today esp with my UD de-slick makeup setting spray :) Thanks wayne! XOXO
God answered my prayers with this video! Just popped open my brand new studio fix and applied it. Then screamed!!! I looked sooo ashy and stiff. So I went to CZcams and there it was...your video in my video feeds for today. XOXOX thanks a million. Now I don't feel like I bought the WRONG THING :) Happy dance, happy dance
you really are the god of makeup :) i have watched alot of ppl on here and you n one other person i keep going back to . I really used to like love this person but now im not so sure about this other person :(..you have some great ideas that i cant wait to try someday when i get back 2 work.
You are the bees knees, I just started wearing make-up and im sure I'd look clownish if it weren't for you. I read your interview on beautilish last night. Thank you!
Great idea, I have that powder but never thought about using it like that. I do spritz mineral foundations after applying so I guess it's the same idea. No idea why I never thought about this before :)
THANK YOU for doing this video! i love my mac studio fix powder foundation and always wondered just how to correctly apply it wet. i will try this! xoxo
great tips! I always used the sponge and wet it and squeezed it out and never liked the result! Now thanks to you I will try it again your way! P.S. I bought the Billy B #4 brush on your recommendation and Lovvvvvvve it!
Great tip! I was no longer using it because it would leave my face a little cakey so I had to buy the Mac mineralized powder. I will try this way next time :) Your tutorials are always so helpful, thank you:)
I heard that Studio Fix powder's main bonding agent is fiberglass (used to insulate homes). Someone said it on makeup alley, & has a lot of thumbs up. Is this true wayne This is SOME of what the reviewer said "The damage being fine micro cuts to the skin that can irritate and get infected, showing up like acne or redness to the skin. More commonly though, you really can't SEE the damage, but you better believe it is there."
great tutorial as always i never knew i was thinking i would mess my powder up.lol i also really really really love your 60 sec tutorial on face powder also.
Thank you so much for this video! I was literally just thinking about this yesterday. I was wondering if we were to wet the sponge that comes with the powder or what. Great information. Love ya Wayne!!
I love it when he says "ever so slightly". Something about the ways he says it - is very sexy. I'm going to train my boyfriend to say that phrase just the same way but I won't tell him how it came about :)

NIcoals Mcc totally 💯
your skin is so naturally flawless i can barely tell the difference when you put foundation on
I have used Studio Fox for ages and this is the first time I have ever tried this trick and I am obsessed!! Thank you
I can't believe I didn't think of this. It's so simple yet so smart. I never wanted to add water to powders thinking it would turn them into mush. Thanks !!!!!!!

Your small little random tips that no one else ever talks about is really a plesure to know. Thank you so much for sharing your tips

THANK YOU FOR THE WATER TIP WITH THE POWDER. JUST AMAZING !!! PLEASE BRING ON MORE TIPS !!!!!
oh wow! I have years using Mac fix powder plus found. and I've never tried with wet brush. I'll definitely try it
What would we do without your tutorials? You have the best tips and tricks. :)
Thank you for this! I've been waiting for this makeup my whole life. I just turned 54, with oily skin and large pores. The wet application is the way to go.

Amazing idea...I tried studio fix powder with fix+ and it looked flawless and beautiful on my skin. Thanks for this wonderful idea...I'm loving it 😊
yes :) start watching at 2:46 - he is doing his bronzer with a msf and the same technique
xx
Whoa! Whoooooa! Just tried this with my NC45 and it is AMAZING!!! Thanks!!! Game changer for me...
Wayne, you are costing me a fortune, after yesterday's post on how great the Mac 217 is I added another 3 brushes to my tool kit.

This was so helpful. I use to never wanna buy powder foundations because it makes me look too powdery, but this technique looks wonderful. Thank you!
I watch you all the time and this by far is one of my favorite looks! i used to wear the studio fix dry, but I think it looks better when you wet the brush! Face is smoother looking.
Ive been looking at this foundation for a week now and what are the chances that you'd cover it in a tutorial! This is why im subscribed. Your the best
I broke my MAC studio fix so this is a great idea for me for a sheer coverage on my off days of wearing makeup def gonna try this today

I'm so happy u made this video,I have been using this foundation for like the past year dry,and then I suddenly decided to wet the sponge to see how it went on and its great!I feel like it looks so much more natural...and I love ur videos :)
You are a true makeup artist. Such an inspiration Wayne! X
OMG! Great never knew the water tip. Tried works great! Even blends better than when it's dry! Thanks
Your skin looks fab at the end of the vid! Am a fan of powder foundations as I find them super quick and convenient. Will definitely be giving this a go.
Thanks you sooo much for this vid! It applies so nicely with a damp brush and covers my roseacea completely! I finally have a smooth finish and no mucking around with concealer needed. You're the man!

Omg... Thank you so much for this tip! I tried it and it worked like a charm. It goes on with perfection!
Mac Studio Fix Fluid. Just make sure to set it with a light powder, such as Clinique's loose face powder.
PS ... worked exactly the same with mac studio sculpt foundation ... 2 drops of the thinner, mix well, it spreads like butter on the skin and blending is effortless
Absolutely my favorite makeup artist
you are just incredible..... I've learnt so much from you, I don't need any pro courses :)
I was so excited to find this video because I just bought this Mac studio fx powder and the studio sculpt liquid foundation in NW20
I’m just coming across this video! Great tip! Your skin looks great after applying the foundations! 😃
I just bought two shades, I'm also severely pale. I got NW20 and NW15.
It's really nice to find a foundation, that doesn't make you orange. I hope this helped.
I like to use my damp beauty blender sponge with Studio Fix and it works great!
I just bought this tonight and I was already thinking it looked too powdery and one dimensional, so to speak. I'm going to try this as soon as my new brushes get here. *muah* ;)
i love all your videos and completely trust your opinion! i just did bought this foundation and did this exact tutorial and OMG! You have converted me to this particular powder foundation (FYI this is my first time using powder foundation)! I have combination skin and have found NARS sheer glow and Makeup Forever HD to melt off my face halfway between my 8hr shift especially my Tzone! This held better today esp with my UD de-slick makeup setting spray :) Thanks wayne! XOXO
I love your tips. I used the moisturizer and concealer more than I used foundation. I will be trying this tomorrow. Thank you.
awesome! I was always scared of using my power foundation wet, but not anymore. Thanks Wayne!!!
God answered my prayers with this video! Just popped open my brand new studio fix and applied it. Then screamed!!! I looked sooo ashy and stiff. So I went to CZcams and there it was...your video in my video feeds for today. XOXOX thanks a million. Now I don't feel like I bought the WRONG THING :) Happy dance, happy dance
Absolutely BRILLIANT! (Why hadn't I thought of this earlier?) Thanks again for your tips. You are the BEST!
We need an updated version! Love you so much
Wow !! Who knew??? Can u do this with any powder foundation??? Example it cosmetics illuminating foundation??
Wayne your skin looks wonderful with or without foundation. Thanks for the info.
Do you recommend using the sponge that comes with the Studio Fix plus located under the powder ?
as a former MAC artist, no.
i love this idea for the studio fix and also with the MSF!!! cant wait to try it thanks so much ;)
Tried it this morning, works! And looks great. Thanks for the tip.
you really are the god of makeup :) i have watched alot of ppl on here and you n one other person i keep going back to . I really used to like love this person but now im not so sure about this other person :(..you have some great ideas that i cant wait to try someday when i get back 2 work.
Thank you so much! Not enough good tutorials on CZcams about oily skin and this was so great!
I love using a damp brush with Mac msf natural! I'm gonna have to try it with fix powder! Great tip!
I just bought mac studio fix and I will so try this.
You are amazing! I've been watching your videos for years now and I have learned so much from you!
You are the bees knees, I just started wearing make-up and im sure I'd look clownish if it weren't for you. I read your interview on beautilish last night. Thank you!
wow, ty so much! I bought the studio fix powder by mistake and this is a great way to use it!! ty again
Thx I pretty much use studio fix exclusively and needed other options for application
What a great tip, this is my holy grail foundation in the shade nw45. I did a review on my experience with this foundation also :)
Great idea, I have that powder but never thought about using it like that. I do spritz mineral foundations after applying so I guess it's the same idea. No idea why I never thought about this before :)
Thank you so much for this brilliant technique, you are the best, Wayne.
THANK YOU for doing this video! i love my mac studio fix powder foundation and always wondered just how to correctly apply it wet. i will try this!
xoxo
im a boy trying to use mac foundation! this is EXACTLY what i needed thanks :)
How could anyone not love you. Great video once again, thankyou x
you have always been my savior when it comes to make up! love you, Wayne :*
Great just the video I was looking for. I am struggling to find a foundation that doesn't make me look like I am a constant oil slick.
Thanks soo much for this tutorial, I prefer powders but it always looks to matte/dry on my face.
Another great video of practical, useful information -- you have been such a wonderful help to me! Love you!
great tips! I always used the sponge and wet it and squeezed it out and never liked the result! Now thanks to you I will try it again your way! P.S. I bought the Billy B #4 brush on your recommendation and Lovvvvvvve it!
This is a great idea! I have oily skin and this video was so helpful
Love it! Totally wishing I had the beautiful skin you do!! Jealous
You definitely could. I just think it's a waste of Fix + if water in a spray bottle does the same thing.
Hmmm... going to have to try this. Although the only powder foundation I have is Clinique, so I hope that works the same.
Great tip! I was no longer using it because it would leave my face a little cakey so I had to buy the Mac mineralized powder. I will try this way next time :) Your tutorials are always so helpful, thank you:)
great video...your skin looks so natural.
I heard that Studio Fix powder's main bonding agent is fiberglass (used to insulate homes). Someone said it on makeup alley, & has a lot of thumbs up. Is this true wayne
This is SOME of what the reviewer said "The damage being fine micro cuts to the skin that can irritate and get infected, showing up like acne or redness to the skin. More commonly though, you really can't SEE the damage, but you better believe it is there."
My only question is, will this technique disturb a liquid face primer??? U are sooo skilled!
I'm assuming that you don't prep the skin with any moisture beforehand because it would transfer to the brush and to the product.
Love you Wayne xxx
I have these exact products! Going to try this today. Thanks Wayne :)
How was it?
Its a pleasure to see your videos, i really like this one,,,
I definitely going try it. Thank you so much, very helpful. Just love it.
Thank you so much for this video. I tried this today and it is great.
Love watching your videos. They are always helpful!!
As always, love your videos, this is a perfect, simple tip that works amazing! Keep up the great work!
i think the top cap of his mac studio power was loose so as he was buffing in the powered it was clacking because he had it in his hand
NC stands for NOT COOL so that means you are a warm undertone, and NW stands for NOT WARM and those people have cool undertone!
hope this helps!
I love Studio Fix applied wet ♥️
Omg thank u. I have that foundation, gonna do it tomorrow, so excited.. great tip..
great tutorial as always i never knew i was thinking i would mess my powder up.lol i also really really really love your 60 sec tutorial on face powder also.
try scraping the top off a bit. it's just a film on the top layer because of the water
Thank you so much for this video! I was literally just thinking about this yesterday. I was wondering if we were to wet the sponge that comes with the powder or what. Great information. Love ya Wayne!!
I love it when he says "ever so slightly". Something about the ways he says it - is very sexy. I'm going to train my boyfriend to say that phrase just the same way but I won't tell him how it came about :)
