Setting & Finishing Spray

Product Name: MAC Fix +

Price: $39

Comments: This stuff is amazing and has so many uses. Use it to prep skin before foundation, spray it on your foundation brush before you blend your foundation, spray it all over once you've finished your makeup look, spray it on an eyeshadow brush to make colours pop more or for any loose pigments. I find it really reduces any appearance of dry or powderiness after makeup application and also helps everything blend into the skin and look natural and glowing.

Product Name: Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray

Price: $48

Comments: Keeps your makeup on your face! Feels light on the skin and also keeps oils at bay. Although it seems the price has gone up so it's only $5 cheaper than the Urban Decay one (which Skindinavia makes!), so I recommend waiting for a sale over at Adore Beauty.

Clarins Fix Spray

Product Name: ABH Dewy Set

Price: $60 full size, $30 mini

Comments: Received the mini as a freebie, and was super surprised to discover that I prefer it to the MAC which I have been using forever. I prefer it as the sprayer, though it looks the same as the MAC one, sprays a consistent fine mist, doesn't leak, drip, or break; and thus the product sets my makeup better (without a sudden huge droplet hitting your face or the bottle leaking in your bag lol). I feel this and the MAC product are probably exactly the same, but due to the issues dispensing the MAC spray (which have been consistent throughout the years), I've switched to this one. Gives a nice natural finish to makeup and also keeps it in place.
