I just spray it on after all my powder (including blush & bronzer as well) is applied to help set it. I also use it to wake my face up during the day sometimes (it has caffeine in it). I like it, but not sure it's worth the $.

i would not say that it makes anything stay longer. i just think it facilitates blending and can boost colors like when it is used on a brush before picking up eyeshadow as water would.
it is not like a setting spray like "model in a bottle" or hairspray or anything like that.

it is good stuff though.

Thanks. I'll have to try it like that. I think we should get all the Marylanders together and bum rush a MAC store. lol

I just got it yesterday and I love it. I spritzed it on the brush after grabbing a bunch of shadow and it all stuck together. It made the colors bolder too. I did some swatches on the back of my hand with some shades I thought were too light and wouldn't show up on me (lovebud, zonk blue and gorgeous gold) and they looked great. Can't wait to try them on my lids and show the FOTDs. I also used it on my face before foundation and after putting on the shadow and it lasted all night.

When using it with making eyeshadows and pigments with alot of fallout easier to use, how does it compare with mixing medium? Pretty similar, or is one better?

Mixing medium is better, IMHO.

i use it after my foundation to set my face. i also LOVE spraying it on my brush before i use my PP MSF! the fix+ really makes it show up better on my skin. i also spray it on my brushes before i use pigs. definetly a "do everything" product for me!!

i personally think this is rubbish in a bottle
for me it does nothing at all
i love the smell of it the only reason why i spritz it
i notice no difference from the days when i use it to the days i dont
not worth £10 at all
heard some people say you get a similar effect when spritzing evian on

Fix+ question

I have been wanting to try this. I know everyone says it's great for the Studiofix powder. But, I wear the Studio Fix Fluid & then the Studio Fix powder over it. Will Fix+ still work well for this? Or is it to be used over powder only? And do you use it before or after you apply blush? Thanks!

i spray my 190 or 187 with it prior to application of my SFF. i also use it on eyeshadow brushes with mineralized shadows or when i want to intensify my shadow. i only use it to set when i am using loose shadow, otherwise i don't set mu.
hth,
love,

I <3 Fix+

Okay, so I have been debating whether or not I need this. But, after hearing such great things about it I decided to buy a bottle last night. I used it this morning & WOW I have looked amazing all day! This is everything I have been looking for. I have been using the MSF & Iridescent powders trying to give my face a more luminous look, instead of a powdery cakey one. But, neither one of them have really given me the look I want. But the Fix+ works so well! It makes my make-up just blend together & melt into my skin. I apply my Studio Fix Fluid, Studio Finish concelor under my eyes, Studio Fix powder, blush & then give my face 2 sprays of Fix+ & I look glowy, but not greasy. It makes everything look more real, if that makes sense. It's just awesome stuff, I don't know how I lived without it for so long! I'm so glad you all reccomended this to me! It's my new favorite product!

I like it too, I wear it without foundation it makes my skin look really healthy.
I do have a bit of a problem with after spraying it my make up tends to
kind of come off, so I have to dab my face with a papertowel/blot paper anyone else experience this?

you need to hold if far away from your face and just give one quick spritz. You're probably spraying too close to MU, it only needs to be a fine mist.

Fix + is great! I love it. It works great with the Studio Fix Powder. Ever notice when you first put on Studio Fix that it looks quite matte and powdery, but 20-30 minutes later it looks softer? It softens when it starts to mix with the oils in your skin. Using the Fix + right after you apply the Studio Fix has that same affect/look. I love Fix + on clean skin as a moisturizer when I am going to the gym. It's nice and light.

Glad you found a new favorite!!
