Q&A with Nick Gavrelis, Vice President, Global Product Development, Face and PRO, M·A·C Cosmetics
Q: What makes the Studio Care Pressed Powders such a valuable addition to the M•A•C powder lineup?
Studio Careblend Pressed Powder fuses high technology with botanical extracts to give “real women” and make-up artists a unique, creamy feel to the touch. The luxurious powder glides onto skin, yielding an undetectable finish without a dry powdery look – leaving the skin feeling tremendously comfortable.
Q: What is so unique about the coverage and finish the Studio Careblend Pressed Powder provides? Can it be used alone or should it be used layered with other products?
Studio Careblend Pressed Powder provides sheer to medium coverage with perfect skin adhesion that helps to create a more flawless, refined look to skin. Studio Careblend Pressed Powder’s versatility allows users to apply it alone, over moisturized skin, atop foundation to set, or simply to touch up and perfect skin throughout the day.
Q: What are the Skincare benefits of the new Studio Careblend Pressed Powders?
Studio Careblend Pressed Powder has a super comfortable, weightless cream-like feel on skin, thanks to our unique botanical complex that consists of Safflower Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Olive Oil and Lecithin. This “Comfort Complex” helps contribute not only to the beautiful skin adhesion and flawless finish look, but it also ensures that the powder will be non-drying, non-powdery and extremely comfortable to wear for all skin types.
Q: What are some of the technologies used to develop this product make it stand out?
This is truly a modern, next generation pressed powder. It is formulated with a combination of micronized treated pigments and luxurious ultra fine Venetian particles and worked in a special Crosspolymer and other ingredients to give the most luxurious glide and application with amazing, undetectable skin adhesion – looks like flawless skin, not pressed powder! Then, with the addition of the botanical “Comfort Complex,” we help the skin to feel its best and look its best, without the dry, chalky look of powders from generations past.
Q: M•A•C is known for testing our new products backstage at Fashion Weeks – what was the reaction from our artists to the Studio Careblend Pressed Powders?
The reaction from our Sr. Artists and M.A.C PRO Team backstage during fashion week in NY, London, Milan and Paris has been amazing! They love the luxurious feel and ultra smooth, non-powdery looking application they get… Finally, a Powder that looks like silky skin!

Hi Christine!! Will you be reviewing the new powders?
I have no plans to.
I was wondering when they were going to do this. I have always fallen between NW20 and NW25.
Does anyone know the weight of the powder?
I am a powder girl. Liquid foundation is just a little heavy on my skin. I will definitely check this out. Since I have combo skin, I don't get the powdery effect that others experience. This is definitely worth checking out. Thanks Christine as always.
hey christine.....i don't know whether this has anything to do with the collection but do you have any idea to what the difference is between nc and nw in mac??
NC are for those with yellow undertones, NW for those with pink undertones.
I am totally in love with the lip color used on the model in this ad - any idea what this is?....gotta have it :)
the lip is Redd Lip Pencil, Russian Red Lipstick and Clear Lipglass
Red Russian happens to be my favourite lipstick but the color is intense blazing red, this tone looks more coppery brown - that's why I liked it so much, it would be perfect for red hair...true colors look different in photographs and under certain lighting, but I have a hard time believing that this is Russian Red :( thank you though...:)
It states that powder is suitable for all skin types, so that would include oily skin too. I'm surprised this will be cheaper than the Mineralize Skinfinish.
I'm going to jump on the "wow, love the lips" band wagon. It looks a bit more orange to me than Russian Red. But whatever it is, I need it!
If this is being released tomorrow shouldn't it be online already? I checked and it's not.
The face powders are out but not the new foundation shades. Look under face, then powders, it's near the bottom.
for real? i totally just got the fix powder... >.>
im anxious! i fall into the "in between shades" category!
It was released in germany about 3weeks ago and I´ve heard only good things about the moisture tint. but I didn´t by anything yet
The colour of this lipstick/lipgloss in the image for this collection is the colour of the lipstick i have been desperately searching for. Could you suggest a lipstick that would be the same or similar? It's a sort of red brown similar to MAC Dare you but lighter and more creamy and brown?
NW15 is already too dark for me...but it's nice to see more permanent products!
Now I'm not sure if I should get this new Studio Careblend powder or MSF Natural. Any suggestions?
Oh will check it out when it launches it the Netherlands
When i next get paid in a week im gonna purchase some needed mac, liek wonder woman collection etc and this! I want to try the powder as i am a fan of studio fix but its NOT A POWDER TO USE FOR TOUCH UPS, TRUST ME! im a pro makeup artist and it goes cakey but this seems better, the MSF NATURALS are too sheer for me, i have about 3 and i hardly use them. So i cant wait to try this out =D And anythin with natural extracts and sources is great for me =] Safflower oil is a brilliant alternative to talc as it smoothes out the skin and it comes as a powdery form isntead of an oil b ut its extracted from the oil if you get me so just to help you all out i know alot about ingrediewnts and its great for your skin, its similar to sunflower seed oil extract but that can have a certain colour and texture to it, safflower is nice and smooth like flawless. Shea Butter we all know is brilliant as a moisturiser and resmoother so i think having a powder with it in is great. xxx
I can't wait to try the powder tomorrow! Happy for the new NWs as Nw45 and Nw47 run to red on me and ultimately dont match. As far as the red lip, it's cute, but I feel like no matter what colors were used, photography will alter the actual color. I say this photo inspires people to rock a hot red lip
To the people who are are lighter than NW15 or NC15 keep on, and keep on emailing MAC each of until they get tired of you. I feel it does work. MAC does listen to its customers I feel. Back in 2001 and 2002, MAC drastically changed their lipstick formulation without changing it's lovely feel. I know because some other ladies and I were online complaining about our reaction to theiir lipsticks, and within a year of me discovering that I was allergic to some of MAC's lipstick finishes, BOOM they changed them all. It was around the time when Lustre lipsticks were brand new and I realized that I could wear them with no problem, and I slowly tried out their other finishes and hey presto! I wasn't allergic to their lipsticks anymore! MAC can't afford to have people allergic to their lipsticks if they want to use them to raise money for HIV/AIDS. I have complained to MAC once before and received two free leg bronzing Skinsheens products. And that's why the lighter than NC15 people should email MAC and bug them everyday! LOL
I want to try the powder, as its cheaper than what I currently use to set my concealer ie MSFN in Dark
In Denmark this collection was released on February 8th together with Peacocky collection. I'm keen on trying the powder, right now I use Prep And Prime Translucent powder to set my foundation, it's a great powder but makes my skin look a bit dry.
New powders seem good but of course with my luck it has olive oil which I'm allergic to. oh well.
This collection was released in Italy about 10 days ago, FYI!
Well…I just went there on monday feb 7th and it was on display. I knew peacocky was released on the 1st so I just assumed they had been released together ;)
This collection came out early here in Italy (feb 1st, I've heard it was released on the same day in UK too, maybe all Europe?). I went to my counter and asked about the careblend pressed powder but the MA didn't seem to know much about it (she was confused between this and the foundation, she said the powder as well was just new shades of some existing product). In the end she gave me studio fix to use as a pressed powder for touch-ups. She said it had a finer consistency than this. Honestly I don't know..I would have liked something sheerer, and this thing of "makeup+skin care" kinda thrilled me. Christine, I don't know if you're planning to get your hands on this and/or review it, but I'd love to read your opinion.
Why no NC's? Not fair.
I am super excited for the pressed powder, and mostly, the tinted moisturizer, I have been waiting for MAC to have something like it!
I've been wanting that studio moisture tint for a long time, but there was not a match for me so I'm pleased with the additional shades.
Meh. Too dark for my skin tone. But I have enough foundation to last for a while anyway.
the model's eyes are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!
I odon't like basic type collections like these. I'll pass :)
Woo! NW18 would probably be perfect for me ^_^
How is the Studio careblend/pressed for oily skin? I'm suprised they didn't mention it in there question w/ answers. It seems like there is alot of oils in it, maybe its not suggested for oily skin. Thank You
In London, they told me that they wouldn't recommend the powder for oily skin at all.
Except natural oils are really good for your skin. I do the Oil Cleansing Method, and it's actually lessened how much oil my face produces and makes it healthier.
Check Macys. I believe they are already selling this online.
My life would be complete if they made a Studio Fix Fluid in NC/NW 10... =(
I tell you what, I sure would like to know what that lip concoction is on the model in that picture - I'm finding it to be quite interesting!
Hey, Couldn't help but notice the GORGEOUS red lip colour- what Mac product is on her lips? Thanks
I asked MAC, but they said they didn't know. Sorry :(
Thanks for the quick reply! OOOhhh...suspicious...perhaps they are using a competitor's lipgloss!
Highly possible- if you recall, MAC got "busted" for using Ben Nye products in the promo images for it's Color Craft collection, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if this wasn't a MAC shade. Seems a bit like false advertising to me, but as many pointed out in the comments to this post, the bottom skin tone in the promo pics is most definitely either digitally lightened or was done with another brand of foundation- MAC simply doesn't make anything this fair. Sad but true.
I might be wrong but russian red lipglass (used heavily) looks a lot like that on me..
It seems similar to the red in the promo for the unreleased lipstick collection... (Sheen Supreme?) Seems a bit silly to not know the products in your promo pics...it definitely looks digitally altered though.
