Caffeine on your skin is actually good for it

It helps with detox, lots of spas have treatments with it. Ingesting caffeine though, is bad for your skin...weird.

Hey Emilyiselectric, I have oily skin and have just started using Fix+ (after reading about it here) and I like it waaaay more than my finishing powder. It keeps my make up on and doesnt make my skin look all fake and powdery. I have to admit though, it doesnt stop my skin from getting oily in my t-zone but I found that the powder doesnt either. The Fix+ will probably be better for your skin than the powder in the long run so thats why Im gonna stick to it.

Re: Fix+

I love Fix+ but hate the way the MAC bottle delivers the product - the droplets are way too big. So I decant some Fix+ into mini spray bottles that I buy from Muji (http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?...Sub=28&PID=922). These deliver a much finer mist and are also easier to fit into the makeup bag I use for my handbag. (The spray bottles are also great for the brush cleanser.)

I think Muji do online shopping for the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Taiwan, Japan (of course!) and the US. They might also deliver to other countries - just check on the website.

Re: Fix+

At first I wasn't really sure about this product, I spray it on after I'm done with my foundation and it still didn't make the powdery look go away. I'm using the Mineralize Satinfinish liquid foundation and even after I moisturized and put primer on it still looked powdery. So I spray some Fix + onto my 187 and applied the foundation on with that brush and it works amazing! No powdery look and it does stay on longer!

glad you found a way for it to work for you, but i'm confused. it shouldn't look powdery as mineralize satinfinish doesn't dry down to a powder, so for it to look powdery is odd.

are you applying it in downward strokes? i'm just curious.

Honestly, I'm really confused too, but maybe when I dab the foundation all over my face it sets in quickly before I even get a chance to blend it in. I use little circular motions. I used to use the 191 foundation brush but I found out that it works WAY better with the 187 because it blends in really badly for me when I brush downwards, causes streaks.

I use fix + everyday! I don't use it as much for my face, but it does wonders for filling in my eyebrows. As far as using it to make my foundation and blush stay on longer...I don't think it does. FINAL SEAL by Ben Nye is good for making foundation last at least ten hours.

yeah, fix+ doesn't set makeup or make it stay on longer. everything thinks that's what its for, but it doesn't do that. it does finish your makeup, take down any powdery look, refreshes your skin, is a moisturizer, and adds tackiness to make glitter or pigments stick.

Very true. I used the Fix+ with the Cocomotion pigment wet and it looks amazing! I want to try it out with the Reflects Very Pink glitter when I get it delivered sometime this week.

Re: Fix+

Has any experienced breakouts because of this product? I'm worried cause I have acne-prone skin but I really want to try it. Is it okay to use on oily skin? Is this better than charged water?

I have oily skin as well and no problems at all with Fix+

But I don't know Charged Water though.

Re: Fix+

sounds like everyone on here gets a good use out of it...now i am verrry tempted to purchase some...is there a difference between fix+ and mixing medium? i mean when using it for pigments/eyeshadows...TIA!

 

[GlamQueen21]

Re: Fix+

Mixing Medium Formula is to dilute and mix with M·A·C powder or liquid makeup. Used to create effects from sheer to opaque. Perfect to decorate the face or body. Created for those who like to design their own shades and colours. Mix with pigments and powders to create anything from full, opaque coverage to sheer. Useful for adhering M·A·C Glitter to the skin.

While Fix+ is an aqua-spritz that finishes makeup and adds radiance. You can also use it to apply your pigments, MSF, blushes, cream blushes, MES wet.
