how do you like this in comparison to studio fix? i so cant wait to try this foundation!Well, I ran out of foundation last week and, since I'm also back to my usual (i.e., not summer) colour, I went off to Mac to pick up something new. The MA insisted I try PLW compared to my regular (Studio Fluid) to see what I thought and she gave me samples of both. Have to say, I was really impressed. I went back yesterday and got the full size NC15, because I really love the way it feels. I was worried it would feel heavy, but I don't find it does. Plus, of course, it leaves my skin looking nice and even throughout the day and helps the rest of my make-up stay put. (My face normally eats blush, but it seems to stay put when I'm wearing this.)

how is everyone liking this foundation now that it has been out for a wee while?
So, although I decided that the coverage was great for the PLW concealer, I decided to return it. Why? Well, I started to get millia, however, that wasn't the main reason for returning it. Originally I had purchased NW25, an okay color but orange. Then I was matched to NC30 but good undertone but too dark. It would've been a perfect match if they had NC25. *sigh*
Yeah this was my first MAC concealer and I was quite pleased with it if it wasn't for the color issues. I don't understand why they skip out on certain colors though. I would imagine that they would have them as well. It didn't help that I tried to match myself as my tan was beginning to fade, too. Oh well! I'll find a concealer elsewhereI agree, this can be tricky with MAC foundations. I was lucky in this case that they had NC15, since a lot of times, my choice is between NW15 (OK, but a bit orangey) and NC20 (too yellowish and too dark during the cooler months). Good luck finding an HG foundation in another formula... there's certainly NC25's out there!
I just have to come back and comment on how the foundation has been working out for me. I have to say that I love it! I have the most oily skin in the whole world, and it's treated me so much better than studio fix fluid, or any other foundation that I have tried, for that matter. SFF would melt off of me before the day was half done, and PLW stays looking pretty good even 8 hours later. I still need to blot, of course, but I find that I can keep my face together the whole day with this foundation, which I never could do with any other. Some days, I'd have to re-do the face as soon as I got home from work. Not with this one! I have to say it's improved my self-esteem because of this. Absolutely fantastic.
How does the PL concealer do on creasing? I must avoid this at all costs!
Boo thats stinky cause My studio fix makes me shiny with my oily tzoneSadly the coverage is not like studio fix. Even though my face looks so much more matte and 'normal' with pro long wear, I find myself still reaching for studio fix because of the AMAZING coverage it delivers. I have to touch up much more frequently with studio fix but it's worth it sometimes. If I am going out or only going to be requiring my makeup to look good for less than 8 hours I go with SFF, otherwise, like say during a work day, I'll use PLW.
