Make Up Forever: Mist and Fix

Hi everyone! So, I've been trying the Make Up Forever: Make Up Fixer Mist for about two weeks now and I will be giving you all my thoughts on it today! I purchased this in the deluxe sample size which contains 25ml of product for $15CAD in Sephora.


Product Description (from makeupforever.com)
"This light and comfortable mist seals the makeup and keeps it in place by coating the skin with a weightless and invisible film. The mist provides a continuous protection for the makeup and skin against external attacks (pollution, temperature variations...by creating a colorless and imperceptible shield made from active hydrating ingredients"

I would say it definitely kept my makeup in place on all the occasions I applied this mist. Even after several hours of school and playing a bit of frisbee with my friends in the field with some minor sweating, my make up did not budge at all when I got home. It does feel weightless as if you didn't apply the mist at all but product is very effective! Very impressed!

It also claims to "increase hydration by 40% after 2 hours" - I can't say if it does but it for sure hydrates my face and gives me a dewy look throughout the day. Also very pleased with this because my face is extremely dry!

It is alcohol free - which is always a plus. :)

However, I would say it is pricey for the amount of product you get. I usually apply two to three sprays on my face to set my make up and that is quite a bit of product from the bottle. I don't apply this product everyday because I don't think its necessary unless it's going to be a long and hot day, the product will for sure run out in 1 to 2 months if I did. Another way to use the mist is to spray it on your brushes (Eyeshadow, foundation, powder...), it acts as a activator and gives better application of the product.

Overall, i really enjoyed using this product. I think I will try more different sprays first before deciding if I want to purchase this again. There are quite a few similar sprays out there, such as MAC's fix plus or Urban Decay mist or NYX spray which is only $8CAD...Will definitely do an update if I found better alternative.
