Re: MAC prep & prime face or fix +

I haven't tried Fix + but, i own Prep + Prime and I love it. I don't like the thought of spraying my MU lol.. and, Prep + Prime definately makes my foundation go on wayyy smoother. I say it's worth it 100%

Re: MAC prep & prime face or fix +

I love Fix+ and I just recently got a sample of prep & prime. I think they serve pretty much the same purpose if you spray the Fix+ before applying your makeup. I like to lightly mist it afterwards, too. I'm hooked on the spray and prefer it over prep & prime.

Re: MAC prep & prime face or fix +

prep and prime is a skin primer. so it helps fill in pores and fine lines and helps make up stay on longer.

fix+ is a skin hydrator/light moisturizer. you can use that throught the day

Re: MAC prep & prime face or fix +

Well said.

So are you looking more for a primer or a moisturizing/finishing spritz?

I think everyone should have Fix+ in their lives! You can use it to moisturize before MU application, to set your makeup after powdering, to refresh dehydrated skin during the day or with a mineralized skinfinish, to make the color even more vibrant and dewy!
