Go for the non-alcohol Ben NYE fixers. Cheap as chips and the bottles last for ages.
All the mentions of Fix+ should warrant a mention that Fix+, despite its name, isn't a fixative at all. All it's designed to do is take down any powdery appearance on the face, not make make-up last a squillion hours. Use too much and your make-up will slide right off.
You can get exactly the same effect of Fix+, minus the glycerin, by filling a fine misting bottle with distilled water.

Would the Ben Nye sealer work for everyday purposes, i.e. going out at night or makeup for a wedding.
Basically want to know if people here actually think there's a benefit to buying one of the pro sealers for non-professional use?
Also, would it work over regular makeup, like MAC consumer products, or only over pro products that are cream based or something?
Thanks!

My sister just heard about Model In A Bottle and said she wants it for xmas. Something tells me that spraying alcohol on your face cannot be good for you.
I tend to agree with Lara about the Ben Nye product, anyone else have any experience with these products?

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. |
