the tech is the creamy one. it feels thicker and gives you less coverage. the studio fix feels light gives the best coverage and has a powder finish. just be careful not to over apply. if you have flaws to cover, use a concealer and use the studio fix to blend and even out the skin tone. don't use the studio fix for touchups or to refresh. it is a foundation just like a liquid and not meant to reapply..it will get cakey and clog your pores even though it is hypoallergenic..despite what another blogger wrote there is NO FISH OIL in it! lol it is actually oil free. anyways, always make sure you wash your face at the end of the day and moisturize. Give it another shot your love it, as long as you are better informed at how to use it!!!
