Has anyone tried Model in a Bottle? It was featured on Oprah a few weeks ago.

It is supposed to be a finishing spray.

I hear its super duper good, but theres also a similar product by Ben Nye called Final Seal that I use to have and it was AMAZING. Not that expensive either, but I dont remember exactly how much I paid. HTH!

Yeah, it seems to be a similar product.

Does it just make your make-up stay or what does it exactly do?? What's the point of it?? Never heard of it...or of that Ben Nye stuff either.

As has been mentioned, there are other products on the market which will achieve the same results for considerably lower cost. Ben Nye's Liquiset is a water based sealer which can be sprayed onto the face to set makeup for hours (a 2oz spray bottle should cost about $6) and they do an alcohol based fixer too called Final Seal. Kryolan makes alcohol based Fixier and Ultra Setting Sprays which are also designed to set makeup for hours. You should be very careful however if you want to use alcohol based setting sprays near your eyes (Model in a Bottle is alcohol based too)

One product marketed to set eye makeup specifically is Pixi Eye Colour Sealer but there is an identical professional product which is a lot cheaper - Screenface Cake Eyeliner Sealer. I wrote about that here. I can personally attest to the staying power of eye makeup set with the Screenface sealer - it showed no signs of creasing twelve hours of hard partying after being applied.

It seems to me that the makers of both Model in a Bottle and Pixi Eye Colour Sealer have seen professional products which aren't widely known, decided they were a good idea and have reinvented them with a far higher price tag for the consumer market. My own feeling is that folks should try the professional products first which are much cheaper and equally effective.

Wouldn't it really dry out your skin, with the alcohol sealed on there? Or if you ever break out at all, it would seal the makeup into your pores & cause some skin problems? I'd lean more toward Fix+ as I've read about it here, if you even need that kind of product. And then not use it unless it's really necessary.

Fix+ doesn't have any "binders" so doesn't set makeup as throughly as the products I have mentioned in my previous post. I'd still suggest you look at one of the professional sealers to start with as they are a lot cheaper and I am sure they are just as effective.

ITA! I personally have tried both Ben Nye sealers, and both do an equally great job IMO. I was in my school's play a while back and we all had heavy makeup on, and didn't want it to melt under alll the hot lights...and it didnt! It's also funny, because one of our actors came late and didnt have time to put much makeup on or the sealer, and her's didnt stay on nearly as long as ours! She needed many touch-ups. HTH!
