I don't use studio fix. I use other powder foundations and use the Sephora bronzer brush to apply it. I sweep the tiniest amount on press it into my skin and do that all over my face and then without dipping it in again, I buff it really lightly in swirls over my whole face and I'm done. I find it gives good coverage without being cakey and uneven that way. Also if you apply concealer, it won't transfer it because you're not sweeping over it right away.
