It's really up to you. And since we're all familiar with the fact that a little goes a long way with pigments, it doesnt take much. just play around with it until you get the desired effect

As for that, I haven't run into that problem yet. It doesnt take enough pigment to cause clogging to get a nice effect.

Golden Bronze works really well but for some reason Silver Dusk clogs up the nozzle.

However, The chemicals in the fix + are more likely to preserve your solution and keep working nicely. The water might get gross? I don't know.

I think that's a great idea!
And for those of you who are afraid the pigment might clog up or is too much shimmer for the face, I suggest just getting a separate spray bottle and mixing your own concoction. I think a mini spray bottle would be most ideal because this way you won't have to waste too much precious pigment and you can still achieve the right FIX+ to pigment ratio to get the shimmer to show. Not to mention you still have your original FIX+ formulation for regular use

I love it but I don't use it for the traditional use of the product. I spray my brush with it before applying pigments (I do a lot of all over lid washes with pigments because Im lazy hehe) and it works great for that! Less fall out on the face and it gives the color a beautiful, foiled look. I also spray it on my face after washing up at night when my skin is very oily rather than using a heavy moisturizer.

copy of my review:
Overall Rating: 5
Price: 5
Packaging Quality: 5
Would you buy this product again? Yes
I love this spray. It's a spray like a toner and refreshed. But the most important thing is that is makes my make up very natural and flawless. when i use powder it can look too powdery(?) and i dont like it. so I spray 1-4 splashes on my skin and it looks better. I think everyone should buy this spray. it's great. The smell is ok. sometimes i dont like it. Some people say that it smells like hairspray. sometimes i would agree, but only sometimes. the spray care my skin and gives moisture. i like that as well. you can spray it whenever you want. it's great for all times. when i use mascara or eye kohl the spray dont remove it and it isnt smudgy/smeared.it gives a nice glow and it's really great! makes the colors more vibrant(good for pigments). when some people think you dont need it. it's wrong. very useful product and makes skin more natural and the skin looks not like you used very much powder or foundation. (makes blush like your real cheeks.) i cant say it enough. it's GREAT!

Re: Make Fix+ something you can use...
I have to rave about this! I have been using Strobe Cream, MSF Naturals, MSFs for blush and finishing it off with this Fix+/Vanilla pigment combo and my skin looks so radiant! People have been commenting on it. You have to try this!
Thanks LadyDangerr!

Yeah, we have done this at the store for a long time now, but we use the loose iridescent powders, Silver Dusk looks amazing on lighter skintones and Golden Bronze is ridiculous if you have even a little bit of a tan...

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 +!!! |

I never thought about using Fix+ to thin out LL for facecharts, I just use a couple of drops of alcohol, but I'll try it out on a chart tomorrow at work!

Fix+ and the various uses of...
I was wondering if everyone could share tips on Fix+. Other than a hydrating face spray, I would like to know what else it can do. I have heard people using it with eye shadows and liquid foundations, etc and I was hoping for some elaboration and explanation. Thanks muchly.

Re: Fix+ and the various uses of...
Since I don't have Mixing Medium and I'm too lazy to go to the Pro Store I use Fix+ with my pigments. I pick up the pigments with my brush, spray Fix+ on it and then apply the pigments.
I also use Fix+ after i finish my make-up and just spray it on my face. It really helps keep my make-up on for the whole day and the color of my e/s and even my blush doesn't seem to fade like it did before.
