MAC Prep + Prime Fix + Review

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.

I love this spray it is a staple in my kit. I use is before applying makeup, to wet eye shadows, as a after spray for a dewy look. This feels great and is very versatile. If you are worried about spending that much and not liking it. Fix+ now comes in travel size for $15. So go on try it!

I love this product and received it as a gift last year - thanks Mum! At first I was unsure at what stage in my makeup routine I was meant to use this but quickly decided I liked it best after I had applied my foundation/powder. This product goes on well, sits on skin then sinks it to hydrate my face like nobody's business! I have also found that it helps my powder to set on my foundation and leaves a nice dewey finish to my face makeup. I am definitely going to replace this product once it runs out but so far it has lasted me for a while so I give it a big thumbs up in terms of value for money and longevity!

This product retails at $38 nzd and I brought mine from Kirkcaldie and Stains department store. The packaging is very convenient almost frosty bottle with white MAC labelling and a black twist lock cap to ensure no spillage.I use this product for a couple of purposes to set my powders down, to refresh my makeup and to makeup my eyeshadows more pigmented. All the ways I use MAC fix + does an amazing job. The spray when it comes out of the bottle is very fine and sprays nicely and not in big wet clumps, it doesn't move my makeup when sprayed. If you have a problem with cakey powder and it not sitting nicely on your skin test out MAC fix + it really settles all your powders down into your skin to make it look flawless. After a long day and your makeup doesn't look as fresh as it was at the start when you first applied it spritz some MAC fix + and it does the trick of refreshing your makeup The scent is hard to explain but very light.If you have eyeshadows that you want to be super pigmented load it up on your brush and spray so fix + and put onto your eyelid and it becomes soooo pigmented love doing this. Overall awesome product it doesn't particularly help with long longevity of makeup but does refresh and it claims and settles down powders.

OHK so I love the product but hate the packaging!! So lets start with the negative point first, that nozzle!!!! Just thinking about that nozzle makes me grrr!!! When I first started using it, it was great. It sprayed an evenly spread out perfect amount of mist and it felt amazing as it swept across the face, but then over time all of a sudden it would spray big droplets of the liquid in a concentrated area that it felt like I could just go stand outside under the rain drops. And now with about 1/3 left I can press the pump down and only get little spurts of shattered spray of fluid. But apart from that nozzle issue the actual product is amazing. It is so universal, I use it to hydrate the skin, I use it to settle powdered products once applied to my face, I use it to intensify eyeshadows and then use it throughout the day to re-fresh my makeup. It doesn't make the skin greasy looking or clog pores. It's a great product and can see why everyone raves about it but I hope MAC fix the nozzle problem.

I love this stuff. It's a finishing mist for your makeup but I tend to use it more as a refreshing mist before and after I put my makeup on. Let me explain....

I like to use it before I put my makeup on, it's a skin refresher/finishing mist so you can use it for a few different things. I prime my face first, let that settle for a bit and then I apply my fix +. I feel like it helps to hydrate my skin and prep it for a beautiful dewy finish.

When I use it after my makeup is done, it's not as a setting spray. I have a handy travel size fix + that fits perfectly into my hand bag which is incredibly handy when you're out and about. Especially if you're like me. When it's hot or when I get nervous, it really shows on my face. I go bright red and start to feel like my makeup is about to melt off my face. This is when the fix + comes in.

It has such a refreshing scent and a cooling sensation when you spritz it on your face. It's really ideal for hot flushes. It instantly cools you down and refreshes your skin at the same time. With the added fanning to help set it, you instantly start to feel better. And because it's actually designed as a setting mist, it'a not going to ruin your makeup. As long as you hold it 12" away from your face it's going to cool/refresh your skin aswell as keep your makeup in place.

I have since gone out and purchased the full size fix + because I really love this product and what it does for my skin. But as soon as my mini one runs out, I will definitely repurchase it. It's so handy to have in your hand bag. You never know when you're going to need it.

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.
