MAC Fix Plus Spray ?

[luminious]

makes colors more vibrant and last longer imo

 

[bocagirl]

I use fix + on my brush before dipping it into the pigments, the colours look much brighter that way.

 

[user4]

i've heard it works like mixing medium with pigments...

 

[NutMeg]

It does. You can use it with eyeshadows too, either by wetting the brush or by actually mixing the products. And it smells good. Lol.

Fix +

OK...so I'm a MAC newbie....and I hear wonders about Fix +....please ladies (and gents) teach me the benefits/uses of this product.

 

[user3]

If you do a search here in the MAC Chat Forum I am sure you will find plenty of topics

Here's 1 of them to get you started

Hopefully a mac mod can help you more.

I think people get confused by the name. I've seen some weird uses for Fix+, and rarely used for it's real purpose!

fix+ ?

i don't know if this is the right forum or whatever but.. ineed help with my new fix+ spray since everyone seems to love it!
i know you spray it on your face before/after you apply makeup but idk how to explain it.. it feels like it's not working or something?
here are a few questions i have--
how many sprays are you suppose to spray?
& do you have to re-apply during the day?
& after i spray it on do i have to go over it with a facebrush?
thanks guys! :]

This part of the forum is actually for people to post questions or suggestions about Specktra, rather than MAC products. This shoudl maybe be in Recommendations or MAC Chat, but I am sure one of the modd will move it.

Fix+ can be used after make up to "fix" it in place or adjust the finish of your make up e.g. reduce the matte/powdery finish and make it look more natural. It can also be used in between steps i.e. moisturise, founation, fix+, blush, fix+, eye make up, fix+ etc. to keep it in place while applying the next step.

Also you can use it to refresh or touch up your skin and/or makeup during the day. You don't need to use a brush, you can just spray and go.

HTH.

1.how many sprays are you suppose to spray?
2.do you have to re-apply during the day?
3.after i spray it on do i have to go over it with a facebrush?
-actually 2 and sometimes 3/4 or only 1. when i have dry skin or skin fells to matte I spray 3/4 times
-no
-that's not good because you destroy your make-up...that's my experience
When you think it does nothing for you maybe you should spray more times or one time more.

Fix+

Hi I see alot of you use fix +. Could someone tell how it is used?

 

[BlahWah]

I just got it myself... I spritz it on my 187 after I've picked up some Studio Fix powder to smooth out application. Someone else in another thread suggestion spritzing some onto a brush after picking up e/s that has fallout to prevent fallout from happening (for me, that's lustres and the new mineral e/s). If you're skin's dry, you can spray it on your face after foundation to take off the potential cakey look (with some buffing too). HTH some!

 

[mjalomo]

I use it in different ways. When I feel really oily, I use it before my makeup to add a little moiture without reaching for cream & wake up my skin. I use it all the time after makeup to help blend & set it. I use it during the day sometimes to refresh my makeup. You can also spray it on your brush to aplly things that need help sticking (pigments, glittery shadows). I even sometimes set my brows with it. Hope this helps!

 

[fash10nista]

I also use it the morning after a night of hearty partying to rehydrate my face, it does wake up the skin...

 

[Raerae]

Yeh I use fix+ when putting on my foundation, it seems to give me a more even application with a little extra moisture. I also mist my face after I've buffed in my powder to help everything set. I also use it when applying shadows wet.

Plus it just smells good lol...

under foundation - does it help it stick better throughout the day?
over foundation & powder - do you have to go back with your brush and buff it all out again?

I'm so curious about this haha sorry
sounds like a super exciting product that I must get!

 

[alurabella]

I use it before and after applying m/u. Before, to help make my skin have some moisutre w/o having to use cream (my face isn't exactly dry), and after to set everything and make it look more natural.

 

[Vennie]

I use a sponge to apply foundation and I like to sheer it out. I spritz the sponge with Fix + twice then use the sponge to blend out my foundation. It makes the foundation look much more natural and less "foundationy".

I have also had a MAC MA use it on my by spritzing it on a foundation brush and then using the foundtion brush to apply the foundation. Worked great.
