New Make Up For Ever Mist and Fix

make up for ever mist + FixSetting sprays are the new “in” makeup must-have.  If you find that your makeup doesn’t last the whole day, or you have a special event coming up, then this is the one product you need to add to your kit. 

Make Up For Ever has re-launched their new Mist and Fix so that it is better than ever.  What you need to know about this setting spray is that it doesn’t have any alcohol in it like a lot of other setting sprays do.  That means it won’t dry out your skin and that it’s suitable for dry skin as well as oily skin. 

I found that it also had a bit more of a hydrating feel and look to it after I applied it although my skin feels soft to the touch after it dries. 

My favourite way to use it to mist it on my face and then on my foundation brush before applying the foundation. This helps the foundation go on so smoothly and it makes it look more skin-like.  When I use it in this way, it really reminds me of MAC’s Fix +, which is a good thing, although I have to admit that I never used Fix + as much as I use this.  If you liked the Fix +, then you will like this.    You could also use this to “freshen” up makeup throughout the day – noting that you’d have to spritz this on and then apply more foundation and/or concealer, but this isn’t something I do, and I’d rather just have my makeup look a little more worn-in rather than apply more.

A misting alcohol-free spray like this is also great used as a toner – to add a layer of hydration to the skin before moisturizing and priming.  It’s worth it if you have very dry skin and if you live in a dry place.

At $34 it’s a worthwhile investment if you’re into makeup that lasts and lasts.

Available at Sephora.

    I have the original version of this product and haven’t used it the way you describe, will try that. I also like the Lie Watier Magnafix. Timely as just today I tried the drugstore loreal infallible spray a $12 from Walmart version andf it held up for over 10 hours I was impressed.

    As long as they are alcohol free, it might be something to try in a pinch. I just have reservations about spraying alcohol on my face if I do not need to 🙂
