MAC Prep + Prime Fix + Review

I've owned the MAC Fix+ for about 6months now and I can't imagine my life without it. If I am ever having a day where I want to have dewy skin or a 'not too powdery' makeup look I will use this over my makeup once I have put powder on.

Here's a few things which I love about it:

• It makes all hairs and powders settle down on my face and it stops the powder clinging to any dry patches on my skin

• It makes my skin have a glowy look to it - I don't know how it does it but it does!

• This is awesome for summer in the hot weather and your skin is feeling a bit dull or dry I will use this before and after makeup application and it works wonders.

• I also use this for if I want an eyeshadow to be more pigmented - i'll spray my brush with Fix+ and then it'll make the shadow stick on better and a lot more pigmented.

I initially bought the 30ml travel size but have now purchased the 100ml and I will definitely be re-purchasing this - it's a must have!

I love the pump on it as it's not an aerosol can or awkward pump head so I find I can spray it easily.

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.

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.

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!

Another Mac product that i had to get my hands on because this just seems to be one of the Mac products that everyone has. I could be wrong but that it just how it seems.

Firstly, i got this off the MAC USA website and used youshop to get here which made this product cost $45 NZD, but according to this listing on BR, when you buy it from New Zealand it is $80, which is very very expensive, so when reading this review, just know i paid $45 for this item.

This comes in a tall slender plastic bottle, which has a slightly frosted look to it. It has a matte black lid, with a built in pump spray, and the first time i used this i had to pump and pump and pump for ages, before it would spray! After the first fear that it was broken, i just realised i clearly was not patient. Whoops.

This product is a liquid, and looks ever so slightly thicker than water, and it smells really nice (or i think so anyone). This product when sprayed, sprays like a thin mist so that is something i really like about the product. No one likes their fresh makeup being drenched with a solution, even if it smells good.

The thing about this product is that it can be used in several ways. One way i like to use this product is by spraying it over my makeup to set it. It also makes my skin look flawless, natural and dewey, and that is something i love.

The second way i like using this product is by spraying it onto my eye shadow brush before i put my brush into a pan. This is because it makes the colour so much more pigmented and vibrant. Clearly some eye shadows are pigmented enough without the fix plus, but sometimes, eye shadows need an extra boost to help pack it onto the eyelid and this is perfect for that.

For $45.00, i would purchase this again in a heartbeat. However, for $80, well i would still purchase it but i would treat it like liquid gold because that is expensive.

After hearing so many people rave about this product I picked it up and gave it a go.

First of all I used it as a finishing spray - I am not a fan of using it like this. While it melted my powders and made everything look nice and natural, I found my foundation would slip and slide and smudge - even hours later.

I have used it to wet my makeup brushes in order to intensify eyeshadows - and it works great for this. However, I also find cheaper sprays do this as well...

I did enjoy it as a makeup/face 'refresher'. It brightened the skin, and as long as I had used another makeup fixing spray (Skindinavia) I found my foundation didn't slide.

Would I repurchase? No. Would I use it if someone bought it for me? Yes. Did I dislike it? No. Did I love it? No. I'm well and truly on the fence.

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)

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.

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.

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.
