you can also use it to spray lightly on your eye shadow brush when applying pigments to help the pigments adhere better.

I love it before my SFF to lightly moisturize, and it helps my makeup blend better and spread out on my skin evenly. I've also found great use for turning my eyeshadows into liners that last all day!

I have pretty oily skin too, but try not putting powder where you're going to put your msf - it sticks better when not over powder, in addition to using it with fix+. or put your powder on after the msf and it helps soften up the edges and blend it in better!

Make Fix+ something you can use...
As an artist for mac, I've tried and tested everything at the counter and fix+ wasn't doing it for me. I'm not sure how much it actually "refreshes" your make up like it says it does. So I took it to the drawing board and figured out how to make an amazing product out of it. All I did was add a little bit of my vanilla pigment to it (you can use any color you like) and shook it up a lot. When you spray it onto your face or arms, you get a nice glowing sheen that actually does appear to make you look refreshed. So if you want a nice shimmer, this is the way to go because you can keep the bottle in your purse and just spray yourself without the bother of using a brush and applying irridescent powder or any other powder for that matter. I dunno, its just a fun way to use fix +!!!

hmm I actually bought this and use it when I'm done with my make-up application. I really don't know if it does make a difference either haha. I'd love to put in some vanilla pigment in there ... how much do you suggest to put in a full bottle?!

I use Fix + to apply my pigments haha. It helps it stick to the brush and my eye! That's a good idea to add pigment to it directly though! Very creative!!

I think I'd be worried about clogging up the sprayer, however I agree it's a fantastic idea! What bout adding rose or tan piggie, for a healthier glow (as opposed to just pale shimmer?).

That does sound like a good idea, but probably best left for nighttime....shimmer all over your face is a bit too much for daytime!

You can also add Golden Bronze or Silver Dusk loose powder to it...same effect as the Vanilla pigment (only more bronze or silvery). I also use it to make "liquid" liner in a pinch...and for thinning out liquid liner to use on face charts.
