this stuff is great!!!
I use bare escentuals foundation, and I always apply the foundation and my blusher, spray fix+ all over my face, let it dry and do the rest of my make-up. It makes my skin glow, because it takes the powder-y finish away.
You can also use it for your eyebrows when you use a (e/s)powder to fill them in: wet your bush w/ the fix+, wipe it throught the (e/s)powder, and apply on your brows.

MAC has these try out packs, and there is one w/ a minuature of fix+ in it, maybe that's something for people who doubt they'll like it. there are also 3 other goodies in there, so it probably won't be a mishap!

I'm personally not a big fan of Fix+ for a few reasons.
First, the name is deceptive. It's not a makeup fixative at all. It's mainly water and glycerine, which serves to hydrate your skin, but as far as that is concerned, the airaesol cans of evian water do the same thing.
I'm also not a fan of applying caffeine to my face, despite what some new studies are claiming. Caffeine does deteriorate the connective tissue of delicate skin.
If you wanted, you could make a caffeine-free version of this at home, with water, vitamin E, glycerine, green tea, and chamomile.

I'd expirament with amounts, keeping the water as the largest volume, then glycerine, green tea, chamomile, and vitamine E, in that order.
Those are the main ingredients, without any preservatives. I suggest not mixing too much up at a time, to prevent spoilage- and perhaps keep it refridgerated.

I have Fix +, its great on top of my Studio Fix foundation, but sometimes my skin is oilier when I spray that product in my face.
Also, why its not a fine mist? That 'splash' everywhere.
Maybe its great for a light moisturizer for summer?

Fix +...Does it make your makeup stay on?
I'm confused wether this is a skin refresher spray, or moisturising spray, or a spray to give makeup a dewy look or a spray to set makeup as i've read people using it for all these things.
I want something to make my eye makeup totally unbudgeable especially when crying at a wedding etc.

i've heard it doesn't really help, but if you're desperate to keep your eye makeup from smudging at a wedding, i'd close your eyes and spritz your eye area with hairspray. be careful not to get it IN your eyes, or all over your face cause it makes some people break out...but it really works on special occasions!

i've tried it before and it didn't make any difference on my skin....so i guess it works differently on different people...
