I came here after Estee Lauder changed their double wear foundation to something terrible. After using Estée Lauder for 15+ years I am trialing MAC. This foundation is similar to the old Estée Lauder Double Wear but feels a bit different. It isn't as thick as the older Double Wear but still a great alternative. It builds well and blends nicely. It leaves your face feeling soft and not oily. It doesn't last as long as the double wear personally but I still do like this as a close comparison. In the end I would recommend

For those who are looking for a replacement for the Estee Lauder foundation, this is a great alternative. But you should know, that it’s less matte and has a bit glowy effect. For me, it was even better - I got tired of the matte look already. It blends easily (but you have to work fast) and holds up all day, that’s why I loved this foundation. My skin type is combo.
Perfect perfect I got so many compliments with this foundation, my skin look like I did a makeup with an makeup artist. The foundation last very long on the skin and texture.give a unique
Best foundation and base for any makeup look !!! I’ve never had better coverage
I had to switch foundations after my longtime go-to changed formulas. This one looks nice—goes on nicely over my spf moisturizer and primer. Decent coverage. I set it with setting powder. I have very oily skin and I don’t see that this is especially good for that. I blot many times a day. By hour 8 or so I can see it coming off on and around my nose. I don’t see any oxidizing which seemed like a frequent complaint. Where it really sucks is a drop of water = foundation gone. Literally. Rain drop— now you have a bare spot. Forget about sweat—it just runs right off. It’s definitely not my summer foundation, that’s for sure.
I really like this foundation. It's easy to blend with a sponge or brush. Good coverage. Feels light. A little goes a long way.
I thoroughly enjoyed this makeup. I used it in the morning and it pretty much lasted all day. I did feel that the SPF held up very well on very hot days. It also did not feel super heavy like other makeup brands. I didn't match my complexion correctly but that's on me. I used some concealer to help blend everything together!

This foundation has good coverage, blended smoothly and buildable. It last a long time on my skin all day. Although my skin is very dry and I had to use extra moisturizer before using it, everything worked out perfectly and did not clogged my pores. If have to choose I would pick lighter color to fit my skin better. I would recommend it overall.

I used the foundation after applying my skincare in the morning. It definitely lives up to its name being matte. As soon as I blended out the foundation after a bit it started drying down. I wouldn't say you even have to use powder for this foundation, especially if your skin isn't too oily. I have combination skin that tends to be dry in the winter, do I would say stay away if you have dry skin as it may just enhance the dryness. I think this is a great foundation for oily skin.
I used the MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 24HR Matte Foundation + Oil Control at the beginning of the day and loved how blendable it was. It worked amazingly with my other makeup products and layered beautifully without pilling. The formula is very buildable while still providing great coverage without feeling heavy or cakey. I also love knowing there is SPF protection built in, making it an easy choice for everyday wear. I received this product for free from MAC Cosmetics for testing and review purposes.
