MAC Foundation Stick NC40 Demo, Wear Test & Review | Combination Skin

Here's my review of MAC Studio Fix Soft Matte Foundation Stick NAC40. I did a 8-hour wear test and demo in this video.
It retails for $31 USD ($36 CAD) and contains 0.32 oz (9 g) of product. I purchased mine online from Sephora (MAC products are available available at Sephora for Canada). This is described to be an on-the-go multitasking foundation stick perfects skin tone, contours curves, and highlights features.
Claims:   
  • Buildable Medium Coverage
  • Easy to blend 
  • Natural, shine-free matte finish
  • Suitable for all skin types 
Shades: It's available in 33 shades. I got the shade NC40 and I think it's a good match for my skin tone. I also think the shade didn't oxidize on me as opposed to MAC Liquid Foundation, which does oxidize. I do think the shade range is limited though.

Pretty Little Thing Try On Haul 2019

Here's a quick Pretty Little Thing haul. I did some shopping for fall and since it was my first time ordering online from there, I got a few items to see how the size is. For reference, I'm 5'3" and I usually wear small or US 4-6 (UK 8-10). As for shipping, I got the package within a week (I live in Montreal, Canada) and I didn't pay any custom fees.

Make Up For Ever Ultra UD Foundation Review

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation retails for $55CAD ($43 USD) and contains
1.08oz (32 mL) of product. It comes with a pump. It's claimed to provide undetectable medium coverage and a blurred, second-skin finish for up to 24 hours. 
Check out my video for my review (demo and 5-hour wear-test) of Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation using the shade Y412  -Bronze Beige but I also swatched 8 other shades I own.

________________
Shades
Make Up For Ever recently added new shades and this foundation is now available in 50 shades. The shade I Before this, I found Y415 - Almond to be the closest match for my skin tone but after trying this, I personally prefer Y412 - Bronze Beige on me. For shade reference I'm in NC40 in MAC. Click here to check out my shade reference post of the shades including MAC Conversion rate for some of the shades.

________________ 
Wear Test
I tested it for 5 hours in this video and noticed my skin looked oily. I have combination skin, so my T-zone does get oily throughout the day but I find that I got a bit more oily with this one compared to other foundations.  

Overall, this is one of my favorite foundations because it looks great on camera. I usually use this on days where I have a photoshoot or if I'm filming. It's also a foundation I reach out for when I have an event to attend to and I know I will be taking photos/videos. Now I do get oily throughout the day, so I definitely do need to blot even after 4 hours. That's the only downside to this foundation but I don't mind and it's still my favorite.
  • Finish: Natural
  • Coverage: Medium to Full 
  • Skin Type: Normal, Combination, and Oily
Here's a photo with flash with full face of makeup.
