M.A.C. Cosmetics Fix +

M.A.C. Fix + is one of my favorite M.A.C. products.  Fix + is an aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up!  Tired of all those makeup smudges? Well there is a way to set your makeup to minimize the smudge while also refreshing your face.  You can use this product to give your makeup that fresh finish look.  Use over your powder for a "soft set finish".  I even use this product when i apply cream and liquid foundation.  I apply the foundation to the skin and blend it in with a cosmetic sponge and then i take my M.A.C.  #187 Duo Fibre Stippling brush and i spray it and in circular motion i blend the product into the skin.  When i say this is an excellent product!!!! Try it out you won't be disappointed!!!
