Product Review: MAC’s Fix +
Being the product junkie that I am, a few months back I was visiting a MAC counter to pick up some concealer when I was introduced to my new best friend. That friend has been loyal and hasn’t left my side ever since. What or who is this friend I’m referring too, that would be none other than MAC’s Fix ($16) + makeup aqua spritz. I know your probably thinking; I know this girl ain’t talking about water in a bottle. Don’t worry ladies I’m not. What I’m talking about is an old underground fave of makeup artist, an angel in disguise.
Fix+ can be used for any and just about every make makeup routine. Used to set one’s makeup look, over time this product as become a force to be reckon with. The water-based potion is packed with vitamins, minerals and toped off with chamomile, green tea and cucumber extracts. But it doesn’t just finish your makeup, it adds radiance to your look, and hydrates your skin. I’ve often used it as a skin refresher and moisturizer at night instead of typical creams or lotions.
The added bonus and maybe the most beneficial aspect of Fix+ is its ability to multi-task. Fix+ can be used to do any of the following: (1) Set makeup (2) Apply powders like creams (3) Intensify eye shadow (4) Add radiance (5) Hydrate and refresh skin.
It’s MAC, it multi-tasks, its healthy for your skin and it retails for only $16, you can’t beat that!
To find out more about my daily routine with MAC’s Fix+ email me at kbarge@clutchmagazine.com and for any additional beauty questions please email Nicole at nmitsch@clutchmagazine.com.

I’ve always wanted to know how one achieves that glowy/dewy look when they wear makeup, and I finally found out from my makeup artist friend that Mac Fix+ was behind it all! She did my face this weekend and finished it off with a quick splash of this, and sure enough, I was set aglow, without making my face feel heavy and greasy. I’ll be taking a trip to the MAC store by my job on my lunch hour today to pick up my own = )
See the proof is in the pump! Two or Three splashes of this and Volia! Thanks Jennifer for your comments & supporting Clutch!
I keep hearing about this product. I gotta try it out one of these days. Sounds like this stuff is really good! :) Thanks, Karima for yet another great product review.
Sounds tempting….think I might have to try this out!
I’m the makeup artist friend Jennifer speaks of, and Fix + is definitely the TRUTH! In addition to everything mentioned in your review, it also takes away that “I’M WEARING FACE POWDER!!!” look one can get from wearing powder that’s too heavy and too matte. It’s also good to refresh and touch-up your makeup during the day. I recommend buying a tiny travel spray bottle and fill it with Fix+ to keep handy in your purse :)
