It makes foundation look more like your real skin and less like powder and is great for a dewy finish especially if you have dry skin. You can spray it lightly on your face after foundation or spray it on your brush or sponge to apply the foundation.

I just bought Fix+ too, and I love it too! I wear really sheer foundation and the lightest dusting of powder to set it, but since my skin is REALLY dry, the powder usually sucks all moisture out and makes me patchy and flakey.

So what I do is, after a light dusting of powder take out the shine of the foundating, I spritz Fix+ to set my makeup so it lasts all day, and keep my face dewy and moisturized. It's amazing!

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.

Exactly : )

LOL One day I made the mistake of wearing Fix + AND a blushcreme... hello Butterball!!

Does it work well with MSF?

You've sold me, girl! Now I gotta get some!

you can also use it to spray lightly on your eye shadow brush when applying pigments to help the pigments adhere better.

I love it before my SFF to lightly moisturize, and it helps my makeup blend better and spread out on my skin evenly. I've also found great use for turning my eyeshadows into liners that last all day!

i'd say yes, very well so! i just got fix+ after reading it here & i don't know how i lived without it. i have very oily skin & this helps to set my mu in place & take out some oiliness too. lately, i've just been using the natural msf & concealer w/ fix+ as opposed to studiotech then concealer &powder. i noticed that the fix+ makes my mu soft & dewy (not greasy) and my skin more even. also, when i used it w/ the regular msf, the color is more vibrant & it stays on skin better & longer than just using the msf on top of foundation & powder.

I have pretty oily skin too, but try not putting powder where you're going to put your msf - it sticks better when not over powder, in addition to using it with fix+. or put your powder on after the msf and it helps soften up the edges and blend it in better!

Ugh, I'm so on the edge about getting this! PS. your skin looks amaaaazing in your icon.

Make Fix+ something you can use...

As an artist for mac, I've tried and tested everything at the counter and fix+ wasn't doing it for me. I'm not sure how much it actually "refreshes" your make up like it says it does. So I took it to the drawing board and figured out how to make an amazing product out of it. All I did was add a little bit of my vanilla pigment to it (you can use any color you like) and shook it up a lot. When you spray it onto your face or arms, you get a nice glowing sheen that actually does appear to make you look refreshed. So if you want a nice shimmer, this is the way to go because you can keep the bottle in your purse and just spray yourself without the bother of using a brush and applying irridescent powder or any other powder for that matter. I dunno, its just a fun way to use fix +!!!

 

[amoona]

hmm I actually bought this and use it when I'm done with my make-up application. I really don't know if it does make a difference either haha. I'd love to put in some vanilla pigment in there ... how much do you suggest to put in a full bottle?!

 

[prinzessin784]

I use Fix + to apply my pigments haha. It helps it stick to the brush and my eye! That's a good idea to add pigment to it directly though! Very creative!!

 

[Pretty]

I use Fix + after my make up and its great

but i dont use it except if i use PRESSED powder

when i use it on top of loose powder it almost makes the powder fade away =(

but its good in general w/pressed powder

 

[Chloe2277]

Great idea! I am definitely going to try this!

 

[mrstucker]

I think I'd be worried about clogging up the sprayer, however I agree it's a fantastic idea! What bout adding rose or tan piggie, for a healthier glow (as opposed to just pale shimmer?).

 

[flowerhead]

That does sound like a good idea, but probably best left for nighttime....shimmer all over your face is a bit too much for daytime!

You can also add Golden Bronze or Silver Dusk loose powder to it...same effect as the Vanilla pigment (only more bronze or silvery). I also use it to make "liquid" liner in a pinch...and for thinning out liquid liner to use on face charts.
