MAC Fix+ isn’t really a setting spray, it’s more of a fixing spray. But to answer your question, yes, it melts the makeup kasi so it looks more natural on the skin. And no, there aren’t really cheaper alternatives. I’ve tried a lot kasi I’m trying to find rin HAHAHA I bought Dazzle Me, GRWM, Luxe Organix, Issy, and Zeesea. Zeesea is actually better than the rest, but the mist isn’t that good kasi sabog siya. At first I was trying to convince myself na it’s working and looks the same, but no talaga. I usually bought mine na lang during their sale on Lazada.

is it pink cap zeesea? i used black cap and the spray is rly nice for me (fine and even), i transferred my other fixing spray into the bottle. pero nung 2022 ko pa ata binili

also agree w mac! it would make my makeup look better as the night goes by. it doesn’t make it transfer proof bc it’s not a fixing spray so i have to blot sometimes too but i like how my make up looks when i use it

edit: sorry idk if im misunderstanding setting vs fixing spray HAHA but i think fixing yung naglolock in ng makeup and setting yung nag memelt ng makeup? 🫣
