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!!

Refreshing

This has been in my MAC must have list in so long and when a friend when to the US, I got her to pick this up for me since it's so much cheaper over there.

I love this and I use it before and after my makeup. Before my makeup, I feel like it refreshes my skin and hydrates it. It also helps my base makeup to settle better.

After my makeup, I also use this as a setting spray and I think it works well. I love the mist as it sprays quite evenly and you don't end up with big blobs on your face.

I do find this quite expensive though as most MAC products are. While I do love this, I think there are now better and cheaper setting sprays available.

MAC fix+ Skin refresher

I bought the smaller size of this on the mac cosmetics official website. I was so excited to get it as I have always heard good things about it and its what everyone I youtubed was using to set their makeup. The first time I sprayed it, it didn't come out in a fine mist it came out like in tiny droplets. I was disappointed for sure then after I kept using it, it would spray a lot better. It was very nice and refreshing and left my skin looking more natural after using a setting powder. It definitely made my makeup last a lot longer. Would buy this product again for sure.

Great spray

This product is great as long as you know that it is not a setting spray!

This is great for spraying on your face before makeup as a form of primer, or after makeup to settle powder and stop you from looking cakey. It's also great to spray on an eyeshadow brush as it makes colours more vivid on the eye. You can also use this to refresh your make up throughout the day.

Its a great, hydrating, versatile product that's worth the price.

Multi-Use Magic

I love this product. I used to use it to set my makeup after use, but have more recently been using it with eyeshadows and pigments to create bold eye looks. It's nice and refreshing, can be used before makeup, during makeup (a quick spritz before you apply powder highlighter for more impact or to create different effects with shadows and pigments) and after makeup to set any powders and give a soft dewy look. There are lots of similar products out there now, but this is an OG favourite.

Tips: I still use a setting spray on top, as fix+ doesn't claim to make your makeup last longer

Good for a refresher

Love this mist as a refresh, or a base. I found it didn’t set my makeup, but just settled powders. I prefer using this prior to applying my makeup as I find it “sticks” better. Great for intensifying your eyeshadow or highlights

Tips: Make sure you spray from a distance!

MAC Fix+

I never considered trying this product even though I saw it hyped up all over YouTube and blogs. But when I went to a MAC counter for a colour match consult the MAC girl used this and I found it quite nice, refreshing and I could tell it gave a little extra something to the general finish of my makeup. So the next time I did an online MAC order I popped a full size bottle to my order.

The bottle is great as it's plastic and sturdy with a good lid. It spritzes quite finely which is a necessity for this kind of product but you do need to hold it back. The clear bottle is great for keeping track of the amount left.

I like to use mine many ways. I will spritze my face prior to applying my foundation. If my skin is feeling stressed (which it has lately due to pollen allergies) it seems to calm it. I also spritze after applying my makeup, mostly before I start my eye makeup. It's great at bringing all my products together and creating a flawless finish.

It's also magical when I do spray my eye brushes before applying eyeshadow. It creates a pretty foiled look and is great for shimmery shadows. Would be fantastic if you love pigment shadows.

Overall I think it's well worth a try if your in the market for this kind of product. While it doesn't prolong my makeup what it does do makes me very happy! I would repurchase (MAC US site is very affordable)

fix+

I use my fix+ after toning and before moisturizing to lock in some extra moisture. I love the feeling on my skin and feel as f it gives my makeup a more dewey look. I also use it as a setting spray and it makes my makeup last all day, even if i use oil blotting paper on my T zone my foundation will still be in place. Its a great product and i will definitely continue to buy it.

Tips: Its actually more economical to buy the small 30ml sample size rather than the big bottle.

Fix+...Not all its hyped up to be

Ive had this product for quite a while although I haven't used it that much. Its not so amazing that I reach for it every morning I only tend to use it on weekends when I put more effort into my makeup and special events. It IS very hydrating and refreshing no doubt about it but I forget I even have this product. I do carry it around in my kit though for those clients with very dry skin as it works great for them.

Tips: I prefer to use this before my makeup to hydrate my skin rather than afterwards as a setting spray. there are other setting sprays I find work better.

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.
