Features of the product: So firstly, this product is not exactly what the name suggests, the
name “Fix Plus” can be a little confusing for a lot of us, and to be honest I
was confused too with when to use this product. So, this product is not
designed particularly for “setting” your makeup in place. This product is a
part of M.A.C’s prep and prime range, which essentially focuses towards
prepping your skin before makeup. But this product is one of the most versatile
products as this is used for various purposes while doing makeup, apart from
prepping the skin.
This product is packed with hydrating minerals,
cucumber, green tea and a lot more which gives a very illuminating finish to
the skin and helps in achieving a good skin or a base for the makeup. This
variant is original one, M.A.C has also launched a number of other variants
with added fragrance like cucumber, coconut, rose, pineapple etc. It also comes
in matte finish and in a shimmer finish variant.
How to use: Hold the bottle 12 inches
away from your face and spray evenly.
Texture: The texture of this product is
super light. It does take a couple of minutes to absorb into skin and that’s
alright with me, as it does not have any alcohol in it. Also, it has a very
light cucumber-y scent which also goes away in a few seconds upon spraying. It
doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all. I really like how it gives a sheer shine
to my face upon spraying before makeup. I sometimes spray it after applying
makeup, if I feel my face looks powdery. It really helps in melting the powders
and binding the makeup together. This product can be used in multiple ways, I’m
listing down a few of them below:
Ø As a hydrating primer to prep
your skin before applying makeup.
Ø As a light makeup finishing
spray to melt away the powders and to have a dewy finish.
Ø To moisten your makeup brushes
for powder products to intensify their pigmentation, eg. Eye shadows,
highlighters etc.
Ø You can spray your beauty
blender with this and blend your makeup, gives a very natural finish
Ø As an instant hydrating mist
to refresh yourself or your makeup throughout the day.
Effects & My
Experience: Now
coming to my experience with this product, I’ve been using this spray for more
than a year. This is my absolute go-to product for prepping my skin before
applying makeup. This gives me such a dewy and flawless base to apply my
makeup. My foundation and concealer gets so easy to work with when I spray it
all over before applying them. I also spray it after finishing my makeup at
times, to melt away the powders and to bind the entire makeup together. I love
how it instantly melts everything and gives such a blended finish to my makeup.
Also, it somewhere helps in longevity of the makeup too, but it is NOT a proper
setting spray, if you’re looking for a setting spray to keep your makeup put
through the entire day or night. This works as an amazing primer and as a light
mist to melt away everything and blend the makeup together. Apart from that,
this can also be used to intensify the pigments of your eye shadows and
highlighters. Just spray your makeup brush with this and pick up the product,
it doubles the intensity of the colors. It is a very multi usage kind of a
product and I love it.
M.A.C has also launched their prep + prime fix+ in
different variants with matte and shimmer finishes. They also have variants
with different flavors like cucumber, pineapple, rose, peony etc. You can
