What it is
M.A.C Studio Fix Longwear Cushion Foundation in NC20 is a cushion foundation with SPF50, sold as a 13g refill. Its thin, lightweight formula gives high coverage and a natural matte finish that lasts up to 24 hours, while 76 percent skincare ingredients keep skin balanced and comfortable. This is the refill; the case is not included.
Why it's different
It delivers high, blurring coverage with a smooth matte finish, yet a thinner, lighter texture than the previous formula.
Around 76 percent skincare ingredients balance oil and water to prevent daytime dryness and creasing.
It is transfer, water, sweat, and humidity resistant and mask-friendly, built for up to 24-hour wear.
Key ingredients
Hyaluronic acid: hydrates to prevent daytime dryness
Skin-balancing complex (kelp and algae extracts): balances oil and water for a smooth finish
How to use
1. Press the sponge lightly into the cushion.
2. Apply over the face with the sponge or a brush for even coverage.
3. Build thin layers where you want more coverage.
4. Set with a face powder for an extra-polished finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. We only buy from official retailers and directly from the brands here in Japan. Never resellers, never grey market stock.
We are beauty lovers too, so we know the worry, especially with something you are putting on your face. Authenticity is 100% guaranteed by us.
Is this the refill or the full compact?
This is the 13g refill insert only; the case is not included. It is made to fit the Studio Fix Longwear Cushion case, so you will need the case if you do not already have one.
How much coverage does it give?
High, blurring coverage with a natural matte finish, so it covers unevenness and blemishes while still looking like skin. The thinner formula keeps it comfortable despite the coverage.
Does NC20 suit my skin tone?
NC20 is a light-to-medium shade with a neutral-to-warm (yellow) undertone, part of M.A.C's NC range. Match it to your jaw or neck to confirm the depth and undertone.
How long does it really last?
It is built for up to 24-hour wear and resists transfer, water, sweat, and humidity, so it holds through a long day. Setting with powder and reapplying lightly extends it further on oily skin.

It's been a while since I last reviewed a cushion foundation. I loved MAC when I was younger, and for quite a long time, I used all my makeup from MAC. My makeup style changed, and as I got older, I didn't try anything new for a while, but this one is still great. The coverage is incredible. It doesn't clog pores, and it even hides light blemishes. I use Studio Fix's liquid foundation in NC25, but I got a touch-up this time and bought N18, which was just right and didn't look cakey. It's semi-matte and very beautiful. But unfortunately, maybe because I'm an old lady, my skin gets really dry, so it feels like it's lacking in shine. For some reason, when I use MAC, I feel like I'm wearing a lot of makeup, so I'll use it on a more formal occasion. This might be better for summer than winter.
I'm not a fan of cushion foundations so I haven't used them much, but the reviews were good and my friends were using it so I bought it. It has a matte finish but doesn't feel dry, and it doesn't break down like my previous masks, so I'm glad I bought it.
My first impression after using it was that it covered pores and light acne scars and didn't come off easily.
