Review Summary

MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ is less of a traditional setting spray and more of a finishing mist that gives makeup a dewy, skin-like finish. The lightweight water-based formula contains vitamins and minerals that refresh and hydrate skin while melting makeup layers together for a seamless, airbrushed appearance. Unlike alcohol-based setting sprays, Fix+ adds hydration and radiance without drying effects. The fine mist is one of the best in the industry, distributing evenly without leaving wet spots or disturbing powder products. Professional makeup artists swear by it for various uses: setting makeup, reviving dried-out cream products, intensifying eyeshadow pigmentation when sprayed on brushes, and refreshing makeup throughout the day. The original formula is fragrance-free, though scented versions are available. However, Fix+ doesn't significantly extend makeup longevity—it's not designed as a long-wear setting spray. Those seeking maximum wear time should opt for alcohol-based formulas like Urban Decay All Nighter. The price is mid-range for a setting spray, and the bottle lasts several months with regular use.
