I bought Studio Fix Fluid Foundation last week, the MA recommended NC30, after trying NC25 (it was light/ashy) and a NW (too orange). This was my first foundation purchase from MAC.
I have been using SFF NC30 for the past few days but it turns a little orange on me and is a touch dark.
NC25 seems slightly too light (potential ashy look), would it be better for me to stick with the NC30 or can I darken the NC25 somehow? I love the finish and wear of the SFF but I may have to give up on it because I can't find a good shade.
Is it possible to use NC25 and NC30 together as a option?
Thanks

I have another MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation dupe to share with you! The next shade up on the dupe list is “NC25“, a a light beige with golden peach undertones for light skin. After comparing several swatches, I have found a list of alternative shades for this cult-favorite foundation. Let’s begin the dupes!
The Dupes
Surprisingly, the two MAC Studio Fix formulas don’t really go well together. The powder doesn’t do a great job at oil control. As I mentioned above, the powder is great by itself, but for some reason, my t-zone always looks oilier when used in tandem with the fluid. I prefer using the MAC Studio Fix Foundation this way. If your liquid foundation provides medium coverage, the MAC Foundation can bring it to full coverage. If you have oily skin, it is recommended that you use a powder to set liquid foundation. I use the MAC Studio Fix Foundation or MAC Blot Powder, depending on my mood and need for coverage.
