when i first used fix +, i didn't think it done anything. i thought to myself "wow, for the price and it doesn't do anything, luckily i received it as a gift" but of course that comment back fired me. now whenever i use it, i can feel a difference. i sometimes feel that i have no make up on! kinda weird, but it feels great! i'm actually loving it now and the smell is a plus

So I'm a bit confused with this.
I bought Fix+ and the first time I used it I sprayed it 2/3 times away from my face and afterwards (the entire time afterwards) it just looked like spots on my face - as if I'd missed it with foundation/powder. Like I'd been rained on, basically. It was horrible.
Am I doing something wrong? I haven't used it since as it looked horrible but I'm wondering maybe I sprayed it too close? Should I put it on a brush maybe?
Please help!

when that happens, i just take my powder brush and go over my face again just to blend it in. i don't put more powder on my face though.

I first bought mine for the purpose of 'hydrating the face', but the purpose has loooong been changed!
now I use it to do the whole wetting the brush for shadow texture, and also to keep my foundation & powder from looking matte and dry! works like a dream!
and I had the 'rain spots' issue too. I ended up switching it to a smaller spray bottle with a finer mist since my pump broke anyways!

I got fix+ after debating on it for a week or so. I decided to buy it, and I really like it!
I spray my shadow brushes before applying, and it makes the color more bold. I also spray after finishing my foundation and powder to soften that 'chalky' look the powder gives me. All in all, I'll probably re-purchase!

I finally caved and bought this a couple of weeks ago. And now I don't know how I lived without it!
I spray it on as I'm blending my foundation (either MAC's new cream mineralize foundation or SFF) and to get rid of my powdery look at the end.
And I've used it a couple of times when applying pigments (I don't have many piggies, so not something I do very often).
Definitely a new staple for me!

I recently bought a fix+ rose & a travel size fix+ (Which I carry around in my purse so I can have it anytime
!) and it's a good product but honestly I don't see how it's /that/ special. I think water would do the same trick. I love using it after foundation and powder to get rid of the chalkyness and it does give me a nice glow but that's about it.
Since I bought it for $10 I would definitely buy again but probably not for full retail price. Fix+ rose smells a LOT better than the original fix+.

i bought fix + a long long time ago... honestly i don;t know how i went so long without it. i use it for everything. but my favorite uses are (A) for spraying the entire face after applying my makeup... gives it a dewy finish and (B) spray it on my legs after shaving
it lasts for EVER too!

I bought Fix+ back in February and since, I've switched foundations....from MAC Studio Fix Fluid to BE foundation...I honestly don't think the Fix+ made(makes) much of a difference..I spray it all over my face but it still makes my foundation look chalky..I mean, it does look real nice when you first spray it on.

I personally use Fix+ for a refresher, before & after I do my makeup, because I tend to get hot while doing my makeup, but it is also great to spray in your hair before you blow dry! It makes it soft and smell great!

I spritz my face with my Fix+ immediately after I apply all of my face make-up but before my eye-makeup. Sometimes it doesn't mist, it can spray out kind of unevenly which would be tragic if it messed up my eyeshadow!

I love the smell and coolness of the spray but am running into a problem with my blushes. A MUA told me to spray my brush with it before picking up my blush so that I could better manage the blush. The effect is dewy and gorgeous but now it seems my blush doesn't want to apply dry - like it has a shiny layer of powder that won't sweep off. Has this happened to anyone? I hope I haven't destroyed my blush??? (it happened to both my Coppertone and Melba blush.)

That can happen when oil (from the skin), or water gets into a product that isn't meant to be used wet. I would pick up the blush first, and then spritz it with Fix+, that way you don't get that hardening on your blush. I use the clear plastic insert (that comes with MSF's, or other MSF products) to shave off the top that has hardened, and they work great again.

I love it! It's a very versitale product. I spray some on my brushes when applying pigments, I spray before I use foundation (as a primer) and after. I use a sponge to even out the product, so it doesn't stain my foundation.
Fix + smells heavenly fresh, and sometimes I spray it on just because of the smell.
