MAC Fix Plus Spray ?

[bernadettegrace]

Re: Fix+

I loove Fix+ because of it's versatility. I use it after I apply Studio Tech to problem areas and Mineralized Skinfinish Natural overall to achieve that dewy look. It's especially awesome with Mineralized Skinfinishes, because it makes it easier to apply, intensifies its affect and melds onto the skin so everything looks natural. I think this is the main reason why I love Fix+, it makes foundation look like second skin.

My new favorite way to use Fix+ is with the 266 brush and eyeshadows to use as liquid eyeliner. Now I have over 15+ colors of eyeliner to choose! Soo awesome =D

Don't spray it on your face directly but on the brush before applying a blush or a powder.

If you do decide to spray it on your face, make sure it's not too close. Otherwise just use a brush

Re: Fix+

At first I hated it when I'd use over my make-up, but ever since I would use it after I moisterized and before primer for the face my skin is gorgeous. It's soft and my larger pores shrink because my face is very hydrated without being overly done. I have noticed, also, that since my face is moisturized very well I don't get nearly as oily either.

Re: Fix+

fix+ is really awesome! it sets your makeup & is a great refresher! perfect for summer if you're all sweaty & use your fix+ as a refresher! (pop it in the fridge, man...perfect!<3)

Re: Fix+

I love Fix+, I use it last thing and it always sets everything and helps the color stick around.

Re: Fix+

I LOVE the Fix+ spray because the powder foundation I use tends to make me look flaky in some areas, and the Fix+ makes it go away...Plus it just makes the overall look of my make-up better

Re: Fix+

I love it aswell! I wasnt using it for awhile, then put it back on the other day - deffinatley noticed a big difference after a long day at work, my makeup still looked flawless instead of half off like usual!

Do I need Fix+?

I've noticed that many of you use this - other than it being a lovely refreshing spritz of light moisture, what results do you see with this? Does it truly help set your makeup?

Many thanks for your thoughts.

Re: Do I need Fix+?

I own fix+ and use it mostly to wet my 187 after dipping it in the MSF that i would be wearing that day. I also use it to wet my eyeshadow brushes to apply it wet.

I rarely use it to spritz my face.
Hope this helps.

I use it more for pigments & MES than for my face. I do spray my face once in a while though. I love it for the MES

Re: Do I need Fix+?

I hate the stuff. It just sits there getting dusty. I find it does NOTHING for fixing my make up, and I never understand why people use it with pigments etc because theres nothing in it that will help them adhere to the skin better, and i've found it makes an awful consistency when mixed with them.

I personally have found MUFE's mist & fix to be much more effective. It IS a make up fixer, and I've just got back from a show (hot and sweaty) and have been out since about 3pm (1am now) and my make up is a perfect as it was when I put it on hours ago. I occasionally use it to mix with my pigments or loose eyeshadow but only when i'm being lazy/have no time to get out my mixing medium. I use MAC's mixing medium or Urban Decays Eyeshadow Potion (not UDPP)? I think its called, which works to adhere pigments etc. thats my thoughts!

Re: Do I need Fix+?

I like to use it on the days I wear Studio Fix or if I look too powdery. I spray it on a clean 187 (a separate one that I keep just for this purpose) and dab it over my makeup. I actually sprayed my face with it on my wedding day and my makeup stayed perfect for hours. I really don't spray it on that often anymore since I use the brush to dab it on. It just gets rid of the powdery look and makes my skin look fresh and not makeup-y. I use it with Mineralized eye shadows too, but I spray the brush then dip it in the eyeshadow. It works like a charm. Wouldn't recommend it to mix with pigments however. Mixing medium or plain ole' Visine works great for that.

Re: Do I need Fix+?

no, it doesn't set your makeup. what it does do tho is to take down the over-powdery look that powders give. it also moisturizes, refreshes the skin, can be used when using shadows wet, and calms your skin.
