never use a wet brush in your shadow because yes it will wreck it. get the shadow on your brush and then lightly spray the fix+ on it. the only exception is mineral shadows - you can use a damp brush on those but you must make sure that the shadow is dry before you close the lid...
in general it's just easier to wet the brush after.

i love the fix+rose - i brought two back ups of it!
its great to wet shadows with, especially with lustre's!
but i mainly use mine to set and take away the powdery look of foundation, and after using my toner, before my moisturiser, i spray it on my face, and then massage my moisturiser into my face. it feels so good, and the moisturiser is absorbed in really quickly!
i hope they make the fix+rose permanent at some point or even just release it regularly (like Viva glam IV SE lipglass), i love it so much more than the original

^Yes, it has a subtle rose scent and you will fall in love with it. Also, I need to use my Fix+ Rose more often.

I love Fix +, I find it to be refreshing and it helps to set my makeup. The Fix + Rose also smells really floral and good, but I think that I like the regular smell better.

Re: Fix+
Could I ask for a little assistance please? I just got my Fix+ Rose home and it doesn't matter how many times I pump it I cannot get any to come out!
Has anyone else ever had this? Am I doing something wrong?
Please help as I'm desperate to try it!
Thank you in advance.

Re: Fix+
Please ignore me. After about 40 minutes of playing with it and taking it apart I noticed that the little metal ball was getting stuck in the nozzle.
Managed to spill about a cm in the process though, booo hiss.
Oh well, now I have to have a play!!!

Re: Fix+
here is a random question for you... is it possible to take the lid off fix+ so i can put some in a mini spray bottle to take out with me? because i tried unsrewing it and it didn't seem to want to!
my fix+ was made in september 2007 and i think it's an older style bottle in case this helps! tia!

it will unscrew. you just gotta use a bit more force than with a regular bottle (like the old-school white bottles).

Re: Fix+
Hi all, so many pages to read so this might be a repeat question. But lately in using my SFF Ive been having a white cast. I asked a good friend who works for MAC what I should do and she suggested I use Fix+ to set. I already have acne prone skin so I dont want something that will make me oily and cause my pores to clogs. Should I try this???? or Maybe should I try a different shade of foundation??? Ive been wearing NC44 for sometime now.

i am super shiny and acne prone too. i find that using my fix+ prior to foundation keeps me from looking ashen. using after make me shiny, but i also live in texas so external condition could be the cause. either way, i like the way it mattes my skin and keeps the ghost face at bay!!

Re: Fix+
I LOVE fix+. I use it before applying studio tech foundation. It makes the application a whole lot smoother and gives you that beautiful dewey look that everyone loves. Just spray it generously all over your face and apply your studio tech or any liquid/cream foundation.
Whenever I used a powder foundation, like MSF or studio fix I wet my 150 powder brush with the fix+ and go over my finished makeup lightly with it. It sets in the makeup and takes away that powdered look. It's amazing.
I also use it as a mixing medium for pigments
