Re: Fix+
I use this after mineral makeup, and it lasts for a long time! Before, my foundation (alima) didn't last that long, but it's been probably 16+ hours (I feel so overworked saying that
) but I still have great coverage.
I first apply a Rimmel face primer. Then I do my foundation with a 180-like brush (italian badger buffer from Coastal Scents today, sometimes I use the 180) and then use a 187-like brush (sonia kashuk highlighting brush) to apply my fix+.
My skunk brush is really big, too much so to apply foundation or blush. It's great that I have fix+, though, because now it has a purpose! Yay.

Doesn't using a wet brush damage the pressed products (blushes, eyeshadows, powders etc.) in a way?
When I used water-wet brushes on eyeshadows, they created a "dead" spot where the brush touched the pan - and I could hardly get any color out of it later.
Is Fix+ safe for those products?

You must dip the brush into your foundation or blush FIRST, then spray Fix+ on the brush with the product on it!
Hope that makes sense. I never touch a product with a wet brush either.

what susanne said! applying a wet brush into a powder (except for MSF, MES and MB) causes the water to seep into the bottom, which causes bacteria to grow, which can lead to an infection. even dipping a wet brush into just the side of the powder does the same thing.
never wet, dip, apply. always dip, wet, apply.

Fix+ doesn't really do anything for my face...at least I don't see any difference in my powder products.
I love it as a mixing medium though!

Re: Fix+
I love my Fix+
I use eyeliner everyday and blacktrack is by far my favourite eyeliner. I love the solid black color it gives but some days I want it look more "liquid" or "shiny" I mean more like a liquid eyeliner, so I wet my brush with fix+ and I'm in love with the result

Re: Fix+
agreed.
She Laq is amazing.
Anyways depending on what skin type you have, base that on your decision.
I know when i had oily skin, Fix + made it a bit worse.

Re: Fix+
Yes & I use it daily... it really helps my foundation look dewy & not too powdery after I've used my loose powder to set & powder bronzer/blush. Also, I use a powder form mineral primer from time to time & I use fix+ to wet the brush a bit so that the application is smoother & the powder isn't too chalky.

Re: Fix+
i just got it yesterday mainly to use it for my mineralize eyeshadows. i will most likely use it for my face too, but i'm a bit scared because my skin has reacted to mac before (face powder). but i think it will be fine because those two are completely different.

Fix+ and MSF Natural... all I'll ever need.
I'd recommend this. It makes my skin feel so lovely.

Re: Fix+
