I love this product and use it most days I apply makeup.
I don't think (for me) Fix + really works as a setting spray and I don't feel it helps my makeup last longer - but that isn't why I use it.
I use Fix + to finish off my makeup and get rid of any excess powder and avoid that 'powdery' look that sometimes happens. It really helps everything to settle down nicely and adds a bit more of a dewy look and adds hydration. I also really like using this after touch ups - e.g come home and do a quick powder and blush touch up before going out for dinner, then add a quick spritz of Fix +. It helps to make my makeup look more refreshed.
I really like the packaging and feel despite it being a plastic container it is still quite sleek and doesn't look or feel cheap. I like the clear bottle as well so I can tell how much is left and repurchase before running out!
I had been dying to try this spray for the last few years but because of the price I never did until 4 months ago. The amount of youtubers that loved this spray made me want it even more and I finally got my hands on some in duty free, for $50 NZ. The packaging is plain and simple, I like how its a see thru bottle so you can see how much your using. When you spray it on your face you feel so refreshed and regenerated from the spray and it smells really good! 'With all the tips and tricks I had read and seen I tried to give them all a go, this was my experience with the Mac fix spray.
I tried spraying my sponge with Mac Fix spray before applying my foundation and it just makes my foundation cakey and doesn't blend well, the same as if I leave the spray until last and spray it after Ive done a full face of makeup. It looks like the 2 separate from each other and every time Ive either used it on a sponge or afterwards Ive had to wipe it all off and start again because it looked horrible. I use Mac prep and prime with Mac pro longwear foundation so I would have thought that because they are from the same company they would work together.
This spray only works if im using NYX HD foundation or wearing BB cream with powder, but the 1 thing I always use this for is turning my eye shadows into liquid liner, it works a treat and you get the right amount of spray out.
I am very disappointed in this spray but I have made it work for other things, it could've been that I got a bad one? I don't know, I still wont give up hope, Im still a big Mac fan!
Tips: Mix Mac fix spray with some eye shadow and create liquid liner. It looks great and lasts all day with no smudging once it dries.
