MAC's Fix+ New Fav. Obsession!

Ever decide you need a makeup touch-up mid-day but you don't want to keep caking on product? That was me yesterday... I also felt like my face needed a little more moisture rather than just adding dryness with powder. My solution: I whipped out my Fix+ spray! I sprayed my brush, then swirled my brush in my powder, then applied it to my face. It felt refreshing and the best part is Fix+ helps your makeup stay put for hours! Also, when you moisten a powder and apply it, the effect is going to be more intense. I repeated this process for my blush and contouring and everything looked airbrushed! On top of all that, I think I used less product this way because I didn't have to keep layering to get the desired look I wanted.

Of course, this morning I did the same thing (even with my eyeshadow and liner) and it came out great! I highly suggest this product especially for the winter months when your skin may be feeling a little dry. You can also spritz your whole face when your done with your look to give it final holding power.

Get it at any MAC counter for $19.oo! Makes a great gift too!
