From there, M.A.C slowly grew and raised in popularity thanks to word of mouth thanks to magazine credits. At the time, many makeup brands were mostly skincare companies.

So, how exactly should you be applying setting powder? Here is a mini guide on how to use the Mac Studio Fix Perfecting Powder. First off, pick the right shade for you. How do you know which Mac Studio Fix Perfecting Powder shade is right for you? The best way to know is to try out the product in-store. But, if you can’t do that, it doesn’t hurt if the shade is lighter than your skin tone. In fact, a lighter shade might even offer brightening effects for your skin! 

So, when applying the Mac Studio Fix Perfecting Powder, the easiest method is to apply on your whole face. Or, you can opt to apply only on certain areas such as your T-zone. Target oily areas of your skin so that you get a matte finish. Under your chin and your undereyes are a good place to dust. Some would prefer to do a light dusting so that it isn’t visible, while others like to dust a ton of product. But, remember to dust all the excess off after a few minutes of setting. We find that to be the most effective way.
