"So, it it's a great staple because it makes foundation, it's so difficult to describe. It makes look complete, right? So, say you've done loads of powder and it looks too cakey. Fix Plus fixes. And not fix as in set down. [...] Fix means as to repair, as to like to solve your problems. It is more of a finishing touch and it just makes foundation look like skin."

Terrible Makeup Tattoos And Other Makeup Hacks | These People Belong In Prison PRO MUA Reacts

"Spraying Fix+ on your foundation, it's gonna make it look really, really nice, but it's not gonna make you the longevity of how long it lasts on your skin any longer."

"I would drench it in Fix+ because it makes the formula, when you wet that formula, it makes it last a little bit longer for some reason. It makes it more like this creamier texture but still with that beautiful matte finish of a powder. And because it does deepen a tiny bit, like it does deepen the powder in a way, especially if you're oily and powders tend to oxidize on you, just go a shade lighter."

"It's not a setting spray. It never was and it never will be. I don't care how MAC market it now. They add moisture, but they don't lock makeup in place for long periods. What they do is melting the product together. It's making everything more cohesive. It's making it more skin-like, so by using a hydrating mist, you can see it gives my skin a healthy glow. But it's important to know also that it's not going to do things like stop oil from breaking through or extend the wear time of your makeup."

"Mac Fix Plus, Mac Studio Fix Foundation, they have been trending since the beginning. Products didn't trend. They just became iconic."

"MAC Fix+ is not a setting spray. It doesn't set the foundation. It might help to refresh and make it look a little bit nice. Maybe you've overpowdered and it kind of brings all your foundation together. There's no long lasting properties to it. And the reason I say that is, obviously, I used to work for them years ago and before the Internet was crazy over setting sprays. MAC Fix+ never had the wording setting spray on it. And we were also told it's not a fixing or setting spray."

"Just for setting makeup, the MAC Fix+ [...] is nice. So this is one of them. My favorite one had a little bit of a sheen to it but I think they discontinued that one. So now I'm back to this. Or sometimes I'll dampen like a makeup brush with it a little bit. So like if I'm doing my powder eyeliner I'll dampen my brush and it helps it stay longer. This one's nice and it doesn't have any scent to it."

"I sprayed some MAC Fix+ and it definitely helped to waken up my skin. MAC Fix+ is an oldie but a goodie. It's going to add hydration to the skin. It's not a setting spray in that it's going to set your makeup, but it will help to kind of melt things into place. So if you goof and you put a little too much powder, or if you feel like your skin's looking a little dry, your makeup's looking a little dry, you can add some Fix+ to it and it should help to waken it up."

"I'm going to do a tried and true favorite MAC Fix+. What this is going to do, this is not going to set your makeup at all. What this is going to do is it's going to help the makeup melt into your skin so it looks less powdery, it looks more natural. And you can also use this on bare skin like if you want one little hydration pick me up throughout the day."

"It's going to be $19, and it's normally $38. It's just a really, really good setting spray. It really helps lock in the makeup, but it's also alcohol-free, so it's not drying or anything like that. It's really beautiful, and it smells really good too. I feel like MAC makes some of the best fixing and setting sprays, so I was excited to see that this was going to be part of the event."

"Then we'll do a little setting spray. Let's just use the same one we were using, the MAC Fix+ Setting Spray, to lock everything in. I of course always have to press it in with a sponge."

My PERFECT Makeup for Every Weekday 😍

"I'm going to take my MAC Fix+ Setting Spray, which I've been using all over again, because this was actually on sale during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty. It already happened, but I've been seeing that they've been putting some of their past products back on sale. I recommended this in that video, and then it's just been on my desk, and I've been using it every day. So this is the MAC setting spray. I'm just going to take that and set all over."

Trying NEW Makeup!! 😍 WOW...

"I want to use my MAC Fix+ Setting Spray, it's been a while since I've used this and it's one of my faves so I'm just going to spritz that all over. It's really contributing to a really nice healthy looking complexion. I feel I'm absolutely loving that."

How To Make 2024 Your BEST Makeup Year, Ever.

"This is the MAC Fix+ Setting Spray, and I'm just going to spritz that all over. Setting spray is going to change the game. Don't skimp on setting spray, honestly. If there's anything I could tell you to amp things up this year, it's going to be brushes, a sponge, and setting spray. You can use whatever makeup you have, but if you're not using the right brushes and you're not locking it in place, what's the point?"

Doing My Friend's Makeup and I'm Terrified 😨

"I like to take a little bit of Fix+. This might feel a little bit drenchy, bear with me. [...] So this is MAC Fix+ first all over and I've got my little fan here which we let this dry about halfway and then I'll take my sponge, which seems completely against like intuition but I swear this is what really makes the magic happen, is pressing the spray into the face. I like doing like a more hydrating one first and then locking it in with a different spray after."

Please STOP Being Afraid of Powder.. Here's Why

"If you find that at the end of the day your face feels so dry like you just want to splash water on your face I would go for something more hydrating even down to like a MAC Fix Plus something that might not have as much longevity to it but that's going to have a little more of like a glycerin feel to it so it's going to really hydrate your skin and also tone down any powdery finish whatsoever this to me is a really nice happy medium you get crazy longevity but you also kind of get that little burst of hydration and then it locks in and leaves your skin looking more dewy but not too dewy this I found works best for my skin type."

Makeup YOU Said You'll NEVER Buy Again..

"For setting spray somebody said Mac Fix+. It's not an actual setting spray and the mister is more like a shot in the face. It is more like a water-based like melter, makeup melter versus like long wear type situation. And if you don't spray it far enough I can totally see what you mean, like it's pretty intense actually. It just kind of like spits at you."

"I've been using this on and off for several years and it's a staple in my makeup collection. It really does help to keep your makeup in place for the entire day or for the entire night. It's not something that I use every day, but if I am going somewhere special or I need my makeup to stay in place, especially now that we're coming into the summer months and we're going to be experiencing that humidity again, it's nice to use something like this just to keep your makeup in place."

"I also have an empty MAC Fix+ Setting Spray. I love the MAC setting sprays, they work really nicely, but for some reason this packaging was pretty crappy. I don't know if it was just my packaging per se, and I ended up with a faulty sprayer. Or maybe that happens on all of the 30 mil sizes because this is considered a mini, but it didn't come out very nicely. Especially midway through using it, it started to come out in globs, which wasn't ideal."
