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)

MAC Fix+

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.

Tips: I sometimes spray the Fix+ directly onto my eyeshadow brushes before dipping it into the product as it will act as a glue to help hold the eyeshadow on and intensify the pigment.

MAC Fix+ Finishing Spray

I purchased this a while ago and used it occasionally but I have used this everyday on my recent trip to Fiji. I use this before and after applying my makeup and it set my make up in place for hours. It has no smell which is great; the last thing you want is spraying your face with something that has a strong scent. It doesn’t feel sticky or stiff on your face but leaves your skin feeling hydrated and fresh. It dries quick so there’s no need to wait around, just spray after applying your moisturiser and primer wait a few seconds then do the rest of your makeup foundation etc. Once you’ve finished your face spray again to set it all in place. I also use this with my loose pigments and eye shadows and it works wonders.

Mac fix+

Love my fix+ I use it before using my primer/foundation to lock in extra moisture and again to set my powder. It leaves a fresh finish and keeps everything in place for ages. The scent is quite light and pleasant. Packaging wise this product is awesome, the lid twists to lock for easy traveling.

Tips: Use fix+ on a brush to deepen the colour pay off of pressed powder eyeshadow or to help pigments to adhere to your shadow :)

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.

Dry skin gals

Im not sure how i lived without this before. I haven't even had my bottle for a couple months and I'm already halfway. I guess that should be a con to it. Anyways, this is a refresher than can be used to intensify an eyeshadow, hydrate the skin which eliminates that unflattering powdery look.

I have dry skin, and i don't like using a powder on my face but i do need to set my foundation and concealer, so before and after powdering, i spray this on my face and it just masks my face with flawlessness.

Its not a very fine mist, but it is fine enough that it doesn't spray big chunks of water droplets. My makeup never looks good when i forget to spray this on my face.

However, this does not prolong your makeup. I suggest the UD all nighter spray for that which is another one of my faves. Also, as i mentioned, i go through this quite quickly. I wish it came in a gallon size.

Tips: A dupe for this would be Reviva Labs Rosewater Facial Spray that you can purchase from iherb. I just prefer fix+ better as the mist is not as heavy and doesn't drown my face

Love my MAC Fix+!!!

This is one of my favourite MAC products by far! This is a great multi use product that should be in everyones makeup bag! Like a lot of other reviewers, I agree that it is brilliant for dry skin. I use my Fix+ when my skin needs a refresher with or without makeup, I use it to set my makeup right at the end of my application (it gives your skin a final hydration boost and can give it a dewy look), I also use it for when I use pigments or want to intense the look of my eyeshadow.

I love the smell of Fix + it has this amazing fresh, calming scent which is so addictive!

Love it!

Tips: If you have applied a little too much powder, you can spray your face lightly with Fix+ and it will slightly dampen down the skin so your face doesn't seem so cakey. A really great product!

Love it!

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!

Refreshing.. it sure is!

Absolutely love it! It's a summer time essential! I have real dry skin and even some of the best moisturisers cannot keep up with the sun. This is just a refreshing treat! So good even my husband asks for some.. Plus there's no fragrance to it.. So it's unisex id say!

Life Saver

I never thought I would never be able to live without a makeup item but this is something I will always re-purchase! I use it after primer, after foundation and after I finish my make-up of a morning and it makes it go from dull to fab!! I find makeup looks kinda powdery on me no matter what product or primer I use but with this it gets rid of the powdery look and look more natural! It has a fantastic smell, reminds me of cucumbers and makes your oily face in the middle of the day disappear and feel like you have freshly applied makeup! Worth buying!!

Tips: Hold away from the face so it sprays the whole things!! Also I have brought this for $38 at the MAC counter, not $80 like it says in the description :)
