MAC Fix+ Skin Refresher / Finishing Mist

I have been using this product for awhile now and absolutely love it, it has so many uses, I like to spray it on my face in the morning before applying my makeup to refresh me and hydrate my skin, or alternatively I will spray it on my makeup brushes before using them which helps the foundation to apply amazingly to my face, or I use it after I have done my makeup to "set it" and give it a dewy finish. What's not to love when its such a versatile product! I will always have this in my bathroom as a holy grail product, I cant recommend it enough!

Tips: Just buy it, you wont regret it. It is a little on the pricy side, but it will last you ages :)

So Good!

This moisture finishing spray is perfect for spraying over your whole face when your make up is done. Its a bit wet at first but you just let it dry and your make up stays macing for ages! We even use a quick spray here and there when doing jobs so we can cool down and refresh.

Great Finishing Spray

I really like this product. It has a pleasant scent and feels nice and refreshing. I personally use after I’ve finished my makeup as a setting spray but look forward to trying it before my makeup is applied also. It is a great finishing spray especially if you have used a powder which can sometimes leave your skin looking a little dry. It leaves you with a nice natural dewy finish and quickly absorbs into your skin. This is an expensive product but would definitely recommend if it is in your budget. I have found my spray to last a long time and only tend to use for special occasions where I want my makeup to last longer or give my skin an extra glow.

MAC Fix+

In theory this product should set your makeup so it lasts longer. This was the purpose for which I purchased it. After multiple tries, I haven't noticed any prolongation of the makeup hold considering I have combination skin. However, I am not dissapointed, as I found other benefits I get from using this product: 1.When you want to give a more natural finish to your face: I just spray it on after applying the foundation and setting powder and I really like the result 2. Instant refreshing during hot summer days These and the fact that it lasts you a really long time, makes me give it 3 stars.

It's only okay

Hmm so fix + is one of those products that comes in handy but you could easily live without. It thankfully has a few different uses. I use it after I have applied my makeup to set it which I don't believe it does but it's hard to tell. It can also be used to refresh the skin before applying makeup but the thing I use it for the most is dampening my makeup brushes before applying eyeshadow. It is super handy for this purpose. I used to just lick the brushes haha. I really like the scent which is a fresh smell and it does make me feel fresher. If it was cheaper my review woup be much better but I do feel that it is pretty much scented water.

Tips: Try cheaper versions before forking out for this.

Spritz Spritz

Fix plus is not a finishing spray. It will not make your make up last for years, in fact it probably makes my makeup last for a bit shorter since i have oily skin. If im feeling brave I will spritz some on my face before or after foundation to give it that nice glow. I do love it, but it's just my face. It makes me go oily much faster but I really do love the dewy finish it leaves on my skin. I sometimes spritz a little of this on my eyeshadow brush so that when I'm packing colour on my lids, the glitter in the eyeshadow really instensifies and glues onto your lids. It looks great when your using a metallic finished eyeshadow or even an eyeshadow that usually has heaps of fall outs. It is a refreshing spray and sometimes I spritz a little on my face just to rejuvenate myself.

Tips: Definitely try it on your eyeshadow if it makes you oily

Oily skin beauties - take it easy with this one

I love this product but purely as a skin refresher after I've removed my makeup.

I have oily skin and when I first bought this product I was quite excited to spritz my dolled up face but boy did I regret it. It made me look as if I had taken a sprint around the block and I'm only talking about 2 spritz.

For others it may give that dewy effect (bless!) but for those like myself I think we'll be leaning more to the grease ball side of things.

The smell and feel of the mist is definitely refreshing but it'll fade after 15 minutes. I think it's important to note that this product does not set your makeup or make it last longer it's simply to add that 'finishing' touch (i.e. dewy glow).

Tips: If you have oily skin try one spritz at an arm's length away and then check if you need another spritz.

For those wanting to try this product, it also comes in travel size - 30ml and it's less than $20 so you may want to opt for that first to see if you want to invest.

Happy spritzing!!

Mac Fix +

My absolute favorite product, along side my ruby woo, from Mac. I carry this with me every where and i use it every single day. I know a lot of people have said it does not make your make up stay longer but personally for me it does, i tend to use it with a mineral foundation which would usually last around 2 hours but the fix+ extends the wear for at least a couple more hours. It leaves my skin looking refreshed and dewy as i have very very dry skin. The only minor problem i have with it is when it gets in my hair. It can make the top of my head look oily and greasy if i'm not careful to make sure it is only applied on my face.

Tips: If you are using a pigment eye shadow, especially one from mac, spray a little bit of fix+ on your eyeshadow brush and this will help pick up the pigment and achieve a really clean look.

LIFE SAVER!!!!!

Mac Fix+ has been a long time pal of mine, i have loved it since the first SPRITZ! Weather its being used to finish your makeup, or foil an eyeshadow this product can do no wrong! I am a lover of dewy skin, but foundation always seems to rub off during the day, so i always have to set with a powder, i was running into the problem of m skin looking really powdery and borderline cake-y and i was not a fan! but then i bough Fix+ and my life changed! this product is amazing for setting your makeup and adding moisture back into your skin! if you've over powdered just spritz a bit of fix+ and no one will ever know!

I love the packaging i thing it is amazing! and you get a nice amount of product, i find myself drowning myself in it daily and it will last me a good 4-5 months, and for only $38 that is brilliant!

Tips: This isn't a product to pro long the wear of your makeup, but more improve the appearence

Not quite what I thought

I purchased this after reading rave reviews, and noting that a few people on this site mentioned it as a must-have. I was lucky enough to have a friend visit the States and bring one back, so I paid less and didn't pay postage. Which I am now glad for, seeing as the product did not live up to my expectations.

What I was intending to use this for was a setting/finishing spray. And I have dry skin, and love a dewy look, so I thought this would be perfect. Unfortunately, I have found it just doesn't work like that. When I spray it on after applying foundation or powder or both, it makes me looks sweaty, and it makes my makeup last LESS, which is disappointing.

I also have issues with the spray nozzle; so much comes out in one jet, and you have to hold it so far away from your face (arms length), otherwise you get one squirt right to the face in one spot! It doesn't cover your whole face. To rectify this, and try to make a mist, I have taken to spraying it up in the air and walking through the mist cloud/putting my face underneath; but I don't like that I have to do that, as it seems a waste of what is a very expensive product!!

As others have mentioned, I have eventually settled for using this as a face refresher UNDER make up; or as a sealer for applying directly to eyeshadow brushes, for a foiling effect.

I wouldn't repurchase this again, and am still looking for a setting spray/finishing mist.

I have the same issue with the spray nozzle! It is so annoying, particularly because this isn't cheap. I agree with Adena - the UDS all nighter setting spray is awesome!

Hi, just read your review and if you are looking for a good quality setting spray I would definitely recommend looking at the Skindinavia brand. They specialize in setting sprays. Also they make the make the much hyped Urban Decay setting spray
