copy of my review:


Overall Rating: 5
Price: 5
Packaging Quality: 5
Would you buy this product again? Yes

I love this spray. It's a spray like a toner and refreshed. But the most important thing is that is makes my make up very natural and flawless. when i use powder it can look too powdery(?) and i dont like it. so I spray 1-4 splashes on my skin and it looks better. I think everyone should buy this spray. it's great. The smell is ok. sometimes i dont like it. Some people say that it smells like hairspray. sometimes i would agree, but only sometimes. the spray care my skin and gives moisture. i like that as well. you can spray it whenever you want. it's great for all times. when i use mascara or eye kohl the spray dont remove it and it isnt smudgy/smeared.it gives a nice glow and it's really great! makes the colors more vibrant(good for pigments). when some people think you dont need it. it's wrong. very useful product and makes skin more natural and the skin looks not like you used very much powder or foundation. (makes blush like your real cheeks.) i cant say it enough. it's GREAT!


and a few others:

Re: Make Fix+ something you can use...
I have to rave about this! I have been using Strobe Cream, MSF Naturals, MSFs for blush and finishing it off with this Fix+/Vanilla pigment combo and my skin looks so radiant! People have been commenting on it. You have to try this! Thanks LadyDangerr!

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 +!!!
Yeah, we have done this at the store for a long time now, but we use the loose iridescent powders, Silver Dusk looks amazing on lighter skintones and Golden Bronze is ridiculous if you have even a little bit of a tan...

I never thought about using Fix+ to thin out LL for facecharts, I just use a couple of drops of alcohol, but I'll try it out on a chart tomorrow at work!

Fix+ and the various uses of...
I was wondering if everyone could share tips on Fix+. Other than a hydrating face spray, I would like to know what else it can do. I have heard people using it with eye shadows and liquid foundations, etc and I was hoping for some elaboration and explanation. Thanks muchly.

Re: Fix+ and the various uses of...
Since I don't have Mixing Medium and I'm too lazy to go to the Pro Store I use Fix+ with my pigments. I pick up the pigments with my brush, spray Fix+ on it and then apply the pigments.

I also use Fix+ after i finish my make-up and just spray it on my face. It really helps keep my make-up on for the whole day and the color of my e/s and even my blush doesn't seem to fade like it did before.

Re: Fix+ and the various uses of...
someone else on here (can't remember who) suggested adding a little bit of vanilla pigment to it for a glowy look. i use it like that & love it!

Re: Fix+ and the various uses of...
I spray Fix+ on my kabuki brush before I apply mineral foundation and it makes it go on flawless, without the powder flying everywhere!

Re: Fix+ and the various uses of...
There's a bit more description of some uses in here. I specifically like it to use shadow as liner w/ the 266, or getting shadow as close to my lashes as possible with the 213. HTH!

Re: Fix+ and the various uses of...
I've seen comments about using Fix+ to use shadows and liners wet (like above) but have I read correctly that people use it with powdered foundations (mineral makeups, studio fix)? And how exactly? Just spray after application, or spray the brush, etc? Thanks for clarification...

Re: Fix+ and the various uses of...
Aside from the usual-mixing with anything powder to make it wet/stronger color, the favorites at my counter include: Spraying Fix + on ashy elbows/knees & in frizzy hair.
