He said doing it before moisturizes the skin. Moisture helps your make-up adhere to your skin as well.

I've even been spraying it on at night, after I remove all of my makeup. It really does soothe and calm the skin especially if you have acne.

I bet you are holding it out at arm's length and then spraying your face. Try spraying in circular motion (like the minute hand of a clock)> You'll get a more even spray and you won't flinch. You'll just feel a fine mist fall on your skin.

Re: Fix+

I like spraying it on just before I moisturise. Ha, I haven't been able to spray it in my face without screwing my face up in anticipation. I need to relax...it is so refreshing

Re: Fix+

How about for super oily skin? Does it make you more shiny?

Re: Fix+

does it actually make makeup stay on longer? and, should I still spray it on before and after if I use just powder foundation?

I don't know if it makes it stay on longer...I don't really have a problem with my makeup coming off during the day. Here is how Mac describes it: An aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up!

In response to your 2nd question, you can do either or both! I do both

Re: Fix+

I've had a bottle of this in my kit for a while and haven't really done much with it until reading this thread and the "Dewey look" in the Beauty of Color forum. It is def refreshing and gave me an effortless dewey look without being too shiny. It will stay in my tote forever

I have extremely oily skin and I've noticed my face feels and looks less oily after I spray fix+.

Well, Fix+ is actually more of a skin care product. It has green tea, cucumber and chamomile and ingredients that calm the skin. It's great when used after cleansing and before moisturizing to give your moisturizer a boost of moisture. And of course it can be used to take away the powdery look of foundation, but it does not "fix" makeup like She Laq does.

Re: Fix+

I spray it on my brush after dipping it into a MSF or a blush - then the colour will last longer on your cheeks!

I've seen some tutorials online where people are talking about Fix+ and that it takes away the powdery look to your face. Does it really work? I'm really intrigued but don't have access to trying it out in person.

Re: Fix +

yes! it really does work. I use bare minerals and it can look really powdery after I apply it, so I use Fix + and it makes my face dewey looking. I love it!

Re: Fix +

Can't say enough good things about it! I love it...
I even caught my husband using it in the bathroom the other day...hehe. He's not even into products but this he uses?? He was like, "I was hot...it cooled my face off." lolol

Re: Fix +

TDOLL, lol that made me laugh!

Just make sure to spray Fix+ the recommended distance from your face. I've done it too close and it makes me look greasy/damp and i have to pat it off. but if you are far enough away it does change it from overpowdery to dewy.

I spray it on my brush (187 or 129) after dipping it into a blush or MSF and before applying it on my cheeks.

You can also spray it on your 187 and go all over your face to get a great finish!
