MAC Prep + Prime Fix + Review

I got this in travel size from the MAC Pro store at South Coast Plaza. I only purchased it because it was on the counter by the till and it was only $10. Over the last 10 months, and half a bottle, I've finally found my feet with this product.

As a setting spray, it does a decent job if you're using mineral makeup. It really does a good job of setting it in place and "melting" it to the skin. If you can get past the odd way that it sprays on your face. If you want to make your finishing powder look less cake, spritz!

I'm now using it as an eyeshadow superpower. Yup. Use this with eyeshadow and it has superpowers! I spritz a brush, put it in my eyeshadow and your shadow becomes super duper pigmented and even without a primer, stays in place.

If my skin is a little sensitive after a microderm, I also find this great for adding a bit of moisture into my skin before using makeup as it is pretty gentle as well. I can see me buying a full size bottle of this when my little travel one dies. (What does a travel sized / full sized bottle retail for in NZ? I'm so used to paying american prices!)

Okay, so I only lost my MAC virginity a couple of months ago, and Fix+ was among the first products I purchased. It is absolutely great for making powder look completely natural... On my lazy makeup days I only use powder and Fix+ to set it and I have full coverage that stays all day and looks so natural. It feels super nourishing on the skin and smells absolutely amazing! Every time I use it I am reminded of my first MAC experience and just want to go back to get more product! Doesn't set my makeup as much as I like for a night out (mainly because I am wearing a lot more makeup and my face goes through a lot of eating, drinking, cray selfies and general dancefloor antics), but great for every day use. Would definitely recommend to anyone that's looking for an everyday setting spray!

This is by far my favourite makeup mist. I initially first tried the limited edition coconut scented one and my mind was blown. with every pump if was like spraying a little peice of tropical island on my face.

It comes in a very practical container, with a locking lid so as to not waste product in your makeup bag etc.

The regular one doesn't have a scent to me and the formula appears to be the same. I love to prime my face normally and let that sink in and then douse myself in fix+ and let that dry before applying my makeup. I just feel it adds some moisture and something for my makeup to hang onto.

I love this even more however for when my makeup application is done, I will spray liberally to make sure every surface of my face has been touched by the magical droplets. and any sign of cake face or excessive powder is gone, and it really makes my highlight Pop!.

in terms of making the makeup last longer I am not sure about but I have not noticed any difference with this and other makeup setting sprays that are actually meant to make your makeup last longer.

I also use fix + if I want to intensify eyeshadow or highlight- spray on the brush you are using and it will make it more opaque- or more shimmery. what ever the desired effect really.

This stuff is worth its weight in gold and I will continue to repurchase!

I was really dubious about spending $80 on a spray that looked like water, but I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews, and decided to take the plunge.

I have almost finished the bottle now and I can really tell the difference when I do wear it to when I don't wear it.

It's not a fixing spray, but it does keep the skin fresh and moisturised so the makeup sits better and can be longer wearing.

I like to spray it after my foundation, but before my powder, and then again at the end of my application. I don't always notice an instant difference, but I do think my face looks generally brighter and more dewy. Also, towards the end of the day may makeup can start to go dry and a little patchy in my t-zone, but this helps to reduce that.

I really enjoy this product, and has for sure become and must have item for me. Has a lovely scent and is a refreshing, fine spritz on your face. Whether it's to prime, or settle your powders, this product is just so lovely.

I absolutely love this mist. It’s great when trying to get rid of the powdery look after setting your face or to get more pigmentation on your eyeshadows or highlighter. It’s also nice to spray on your face when it’s hot.

Anytime my base makeup starts to look cakey, I use this and it helps my makeup settle in a bit better. I love using this with an eyeshadow and an angled brush for Eyeliner and for shimmery pigments to pack onto the eyelid.

I also love it because it comes in a smaller size to keep at work to refresh my makeup throughout the day if I need to

My sister has this and I’m always sneaking into her makeup kit to use this. It really does enable makeup to last all day and is also good for applying eyeshadow with. I see that they now have a gold one which I’m keen on buying so I don’t have to use my sisters all the time.

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 am in love with this! Perfect for anyone who wants a quick refresh. I first bought this a few years back for my professional kit and have not regretted paying the hefty price for this in the slightest.

The reason for me purchasing this was that I was looking for something I could use on clients faces sort of in place of a toner. I was recommended to give this a go, and was told it can act as a refresher and a fixing spray.

Best way to test it out was on myself, so I started using it in the morning after cleansing. I really felt like the mist helped to brighten my face up, perfect for an early morning start. I then applied my makeup and sprayed the Fix+ over top to set my face. The spray was beautiful and lightweight, so didn't feel like I was adding anything to my face. Initially it gives a dewy appearance but soaks into the skin beautifully.

This has been a lifesaver in my kit, and I cannot see myself without the Fix+ as it has been one of the most versatile products I own. Best thing is that the scent is very non-intrusive, so good for any type of client.
