Hi Everyone, Today, I am going to review another product from the brand MAC. Its MAC Prep + Prime Fix + Spray. Many people buy this product in order to lock their makeup but let me make it clear to you that MAC Fix+ spray is NOT a setting spray. It’s not meant for that. The company does not claim to do so either. Go through the whole article to know what is it exactly meant for? Have you been using it right?

When it comes to the formula, the Matte Fix+ Spray is a bit different from the original version. The innovative formula contains powders, silica, and other oil-absorbing ingredients to help set the makeup and rebalance and mattify your skin. It claims to smooth and refresh your face while also reducing the appearance of pores.
10 a.m.—Here’s what my makeup looked like when I first sprayed it with the Mac Matte Fix+
No need to be alarmed. It starts off looking dewy but dries matte in a minute or so.

2 p.m.—My makeup still looked good
Even though some shine peeked through after four hours of wear, it wasn’t nearly as bad as it would’ve been if I used any of my other setting sprays.
5 p.m.—My makeup was still in really good shape
Adding the Fix+ Matte spray was an extra security for my makeup’s longevity. It’s almost like a liquid powder that double sets my makeup. I also love that I have some luminosity to my face. I’d been wearing my makeup for almost seven hours and I haven’t had to blot, so I was very impressed.
My final thoughts
This has been one of the best setting sprays I’ve used during the summer, ever. Not only did it control my oily skin, but it made my makeup look smooth and texture-free. It was like the powder in the formula filled in my pores, almost like a translucent setting powder would. I’m not sure if I’d use this during the colder months when my skin is drier, but it will definitely be a staple when it’s warm out.
There is one thing to keep in mind when using this product
If you don’t shake the product well enough, it will leave small white spots on your face. My guess is it’s the powder used in the formula. You can easily sweep it away with a large fluffy brush, but shaking the product before use should do the trick.
