MAC Prep + Prime Fix + Review

This Mac product is still a big HMMM for me. Very much on the fence. I had heard so many people raving about it that I just had to try it. I got the little 30ml bottle to try out and maybe it wasn’t enough to get a real good go with it. Did my make up stay long? Yes but not a hell of a lot that I feel I need to really go out running to get the product again. It does feel nice and refreshing going onto the face, the bottle is simple which I like as you can see how much is left! I really don’t know if I should buy another bottle and give it more of a go or just not worry! I really wanted to love this product since the reviews are amazing.

I was so excited to buy this spray as I've heard so many youtubers raving about it. Also, I did know that it wasn't really designed to make you makeup last longer, so thankfully that wasn't something I was expecting for it as I have found that it doesn't make any difference to the length of wear. However, it works wonderfully to set down my powder and leave my skin looking more natural and less powdery and dry. It also feels amazing, very hydrating and refreshing, so I do find it to be a luxury product in that it just feels so lovely to use. I also spray it on my brushes if I want to apply eyeshadows wet, and it works exactly as it is supposed to in the regard. I also find it helps stop eyeshadows applied wet from creasing or smudging, which is an issue I have had with other sprays. However, Fix+ is pretty pricey, and I do think there are probably sprays the work just as well for a much more reasonable price. I would buy this again if I couldn't find a more afforable dupe, but it isn't a holy grail product. It's also more of a luxury item than something I need as a staple in my collection.

I recently did a MAC haul and had been dying to try this out due to the reviews on here. I have dry skin and was hoping that this would help prep my skin before applying makeup - as well as making my fave look dewy.

As I hadn't tried this I got a small (30ml) size before committing to the cost of a large bottle. I'm unsure if the large bottle is the same packaging wise (they look the same except for the size), so please note my review is for the small size.

The packaging looks nice with a frosted white container and a matte black lid. I like that you can see how much product is in left - something that annoys me is when you can't see how close you are to running out.

However... I have huge issues with the spray nozzle. If it weren't for this my review would be much, much higher. Bear in mind I could have purchased a faulty one. Anyway, the nozzle is horrendous! It squirts out in huge, erratic drops instead of a fine mist. When I apply this to my face it feels like I am being shot with a water gun! The drops are huge and aren't dispersed evenly, which means that I have to use my fingers to apply this all over my face. This is a massive fail for me and I hope that I got a faulty one, as I really like the product itself.

The fluid applies clear and doesn't have a scent. When using this to prep my skin before makeup (but after moisturising), it makes my skin feel cool and refreshed - as well as hydrated. I love the feeling this gives my skin and, as I mentioned above if it weren't for the horrendous spray nozzle this would get 5 stars.

I also use this after applying my makeup and it makes my skin feel fresh and look dewy. It isn't greasy and feels lightweight. I really love the natural, healthy glow this gives my dry skin - even though I have to use my fingers to disperse the product evenly.

Overall I really do love the way this make my skin look and feel, but I HATE the spray nozzle. If I had purchased the full size and encountered this I would send it back. I would repurchase this again as it is a lovely product for dry skin, but I would also be hesitant because of the spray nozzle.

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.

One of the things I love most about this spray is the smell - its so fresh and clean smelling. I like to spray this on my face before foundation just to make my skin fresh/dewy looking. I find this technique also keeps my foundation longer than when applying after. But applying after foundation does make your face not look cakey! But my favourite use for this product is with eyeshadows to make them more metallic and metal looking! The 100ml bottle lasts a long time too!

This product is a holy grail in the beauty industry and for good reason. It works! I have incredibly dry skin, so it's really important for me to have a hit of moisture to ensure that my makeup goes on smoothly and that once it's on that it stays and looks good. The Fix Plus spray is great as a makeup refresher, to moisten skin before applying makeup and to help blend foundation or wet brushes to apply shadows wet for a more intense and pigmented result. The bottle also lasts forever - so it's definitely worth the $$. I love that the product is so multifaceted and lasts a long time. It also has a very gentle and fresh scent to it. I tend to use it to moisten my skin before applying makeup and then again over my makeup to sort of seal it in place and add a bit of hydration. Overall? A great product and I'd highly recommend. The only reason I won't be repurchasing is because it's not cruelty free and I've recently switched to cruelty free. Alas, I need to finish my stash of MAC and other non cruelty free products - hopefully they will switch to cruelty free again so I can enjoy their brilliant product line!

Heard about it but never used it before. I recently got it as a gift and from here on out will be using it for good. It lasts for ages so although slightly pricey it is well worth it. My face just feels so good after using it and it seems to lift the makeup and just hold it there for hours. you guys should definitely try it

When I first used this I hated how dewy this made me look (i'm a matte girl for sure) but then I started trying it out on my brush before applying eyeshadow and foundation and it was perfect! The best way to use fix+ to make sure that you're eyeshadow looks pigmented and amazing and long lasting, same with the foundation.

I have been using this product for a long while now and love the finish it gives. After applying my make up, a quick spritz of Fix + to give a more natural finish. I use this before I apply my foundation and again once I've finished. Although this doesn't make my make up last, it does give it a nicer finish. You can also use with any loose eye shadow pigments by dampening the brush before application if you want your eye shadow to be bolder.
