I'll never forget the first time I tired Mac Cosmetics' Fix+. I was in high school, new to the makeup world, and getting my makeup done by a professional for my sophomore homecoming dance. Before applying my foundation, the makeup artist took out a sleek bottle of what I thought was water and sprayed it across my face. I quickly realized it was more than that when the smell of green tea and cucumber pervaded my senses and engulfed me with an experience I'd never felt before. The next day I high-tailed it to the mall and made a beeline to the Mac kiosk. There I spent just about my last dime to get my hands on my own personal bottle of the multi-use spray.
A decade later I still use Fix+ religiously, both on days I wear makeup and when I don't. And now the spray that made me fall in love with makeup is getting a much-needed makeover that will transform skin-care regimens everywhere.
Who doesn't love a great face mist?
No matter the time, place, or season, there's nothing like a refreshing pick-me-up that consists of a mist that smells really, really good. Almost immediately after a spritz you feel more renewed, your skin appears more energized, and the aroma can change your mood from sad to glad in just seconds. And while there are dozens of makeup mists out there, there's one that's always been at front of mind for beauty lovers.
I'm talking about MAC Cosmetics' Fix+ Spray, of course.
Packed with vitamins and minerals and infused with a blend of green tea, chamomile and cucumber, everyone's favorite face spray gently soothes and refreshes the skin. But that's not all it does. This holy grail product is often used before and after makeup application, giving an instant boost of hydration while delivering a soft sheen to refresh and finish makeup.
The scents are deliciously aromatic.
While improving the wear of your makeup and moisturizing and soothing tired skin, the spay comes in four wonderful scents to indulge: A romantic rose scent, a calming lavender scent, the original, and the creamy coconut scents all take your skin-care and makeup regimens to the next level with intoxicating aromas.
But now the beloved formula is getting a much-needed makeover.
Before now, we'd moisturize and apply SPF to our faces before spraying Fix + and completing our makeup routines afterward. But now Mac Cosmetics has cut our three-step skin-prepping process down by adding SPF to the beloved mist. And with summer upon us, there's really no better time to incorporate some added sun protection to our routines.
The newest addition to the Fix+ family will take your skin to new heights.
At this point, Mac Cosmetics might as well start a complete skin-care line considering the direction the brand is going. The SPF variation will be joining the original formula and the matte formula as a new and improved spray.
Mac Prep + Prime Fix+ SPF 30 Sun Spray ($28, Ulta)
Spritz on sun protection under or over makeup. Delivering weightless SPF protection with zero residue, Mac's Prep + Prime Fix+ SPF 30 Sun Spray is ideal for all skin tones. The formula contains a unique blend of powders and SPF that dry quickly, leaving skin soft and smooth and makeup undisturbed without adding any shine. Take the shade with you all season long.
Now we're really going to be spraying it everywhere!
As if we weren't already drenching ourselves in Fix+ before, there's really no place you won't catch it on us now. Hey, with all the hydration properties the spray boasts you might even catch it in our hair. Too far? Or just enough?
