Fix + is a rip off. I bought some during the Sumo sale and I wish I hadn't. I rarely use it, and it does not do anything water doesn't do. This may be harsh, but I really believe that mac made it just to see what suckers would buy their products for the brand name alone. I bought it after hearing rave reviews, but all it is is scented water. I revived a few dried out gel liners using it, but again, nothing water cannot do. It is refreshing on the face, but ONCE AGAIN, so is water.

I will likely just fill the bottle with water once I'm done with it.

When I first got this based on a popular beauty bloggers' review that how I felt when I first started using it. I didn't touch it for about 4-5 months, I started using it again just to finish it off for B2B didn't want to pour it down the drain. During the time I re-tried using it, I actually liked it. It's basically used for hydrating the skin but it has some vitamins and natural essentials that are good for your skin. It great as a makeup setter, face and/or makeup refresher, toner, etc.

Wet your brush with fix plus and then use your pigments, the effect is amazing!!

Im not going to lie until recently i really didnt use this product much only to. I use it to use my shadows/pigments wet ;D

i love fix+ someone mentioned that it's only water but there's some other ingridients in it too. Before buying fix+ i used water to 'set'my make up and to refresh my face.... but the thing it IT BROKE ME OUT! now im using fix+ with the same foundation routine and my skin looks better. I dunno what is is but im afraid to get back to water again hihi

Me too! I love Young Punk so much, but I used a brush dampened with water and after it dried the glitter fell all over my face. I got Fix+ and use that instead of the water and now it stays way better!

I agree that it works nicely, but its nothing that water could not do. I'm sure if someone put water in that bottle and gave it the same scent, no one would know the difference. I'm telling you--we're paying for water with a MAC label on it. I will not make that mistake again.

I would only use fix+ for pigments, and MES
But it's makes them crease, I have super oily lids, and face.
Might do a process of elimination though, to see whether it's the primer, base, fix+ or a combo to see what my problem is.
But as for setting the makeup....bleh, it made me an oil machine
no bueno

I use fix+ for my eyeshadows..charged water for my mmu (since I apply them wet) but I find Skindinavia mist spray holds everything together even on the extremely humid weather..
