MAC Fix +

I'm not quite sure why it's taken so long for Fix + to make its way in to my makeup bag, or even longer for it to appear on the blog. It's the sort of product that has always been on my radar, but i've never really felt that I needed. I purchased it on a whim a month or two ago (this seems to be happening a little more frequently than it should be…), and haven't looked back. MAC Fix + is now a daily fixture on my face. If, like I was, you're on the edge about whether you really need this spray, then read on.

Fix + is essentially fancy water in a spray bottle. It's packed with vitamins and minerals, and (amongst other things) chamomile and and cucumber to soothe and refresh the skin. I'll happily spray this on to bare skin prior to applying my makeup, however the way in which it works best for me is once I have my base in place. I generally prefer a lighter, more glowy finish, however if my skin is looking a little dull or I've been slightly heavy handed during the application process, then I don't achieve my desired dewy result. However, a spritz or two of Fix + and my skin looks perfect. There's no cakey-ness, I'm left with a flawless satin finish and a face which looks healthy. I'm now actually enjoying wearing some of my fuller coverage foundations thanks to this spray.

Whilst Fix + doesn't actually prolong the lasting power of my makeup at all (I still use my Urban Decay All Nighter for that purpose), it's brilliant for refreshing your base. I'm 100% sold, and can't imagine a day where I won't be using this as part of my routine.
