If you’re buying eye makeup or brushes from a drug store, you can get premiere quality makeup product for the drugstore cost. However, people who buy drugstore cosmetics might have missed out on this amazing brand. Lots of (maybe all) hardcore makeup people know about Makeup Geek. Your best bet is to get one of those little plastic sprayers for travel from the drug store and transfer the formula. Worth noting, and you’ll see it pretty much anywhere whenever folks talk about it: the nozzle on the sprayer is garbage and clogs up or blocks up easily. This stuff will thin it out for you so you can use it again/efficiently.Ī good setting spray can make or break a face, and this one’s so affordable, it’s ridiculous. See: gel liners that have gotten thick over time. A wet shadow will always be 200% more concentrated color than a dry and this is a great way to get there without overdoing the wet.ĭ) It refreshes your face if you’re starting to feel like shoe leather hours after makeup application.Į) It wets ANY cream formula product you want to apply smoothly. See the Phyrra pictures over here if you want examples.
It thins it out without compromising the integrity of the foundation.ī) After makeup application, it softens any harsh powders so you don’t look like cake face.Ĭ) Applied to an eye shadow brush, it makes your application of shadows much, MUCH more intense.

This stuff? Does all the stuff the Mac does at a fraction of the cost.Ī) To thin out thick foundations, spray onto the “glob” of foundation before you apply it to your face, mix it up, and voila. I’ve reviewed Mac’s Fix + formula already and said amazing stuff about it–about how necessary it is to my kit.
$21 mac cosmetics makeup review setting spray fix + Some people will spray the Fix+ into the air before the face and swipe face through it or, you know, directly at the face, but I find I can add moisture to problem areas easier with a brush. In the case of eye shadow, I spritz a tiny bit (a little goes a long way here) onto my shadow brush and apply the shadow wet. I spray the Fix+ on my kabuki brush and then dab it all over my face. Last, if I want to make REALLY CONCENTRATED pigment colors for my eye shadow (which I often do) I use it then, too. Next, post foundation and finishing powder to get rid of any residual powder. First, after I apply my moisturizer but before primer/foundation to keep moisture locked in. I use it about three times during my makeup application. It moisturizes your face and sets your makeup because thank you Glycerin. “But what is it?” Glad you asked! This is a not-really finishing spray. I will never not have MAC Fix+ in my collection. Your lips feel good with the product on and after the product comes off, too. You don’t need to apply fifty layers to get the pop of color (it’s part of their amplified line which is purposefully formulated to be super bold.) And the best part? Non-drying. The color I’ve shown here is Heroine and it’s this gorgeous purple shade that makes me glee in my glee parts. Sure, you might not want to do that for every shade in your makeup kit, but if you get one or two you really love and wear with regularity, investing in MAC is not a bad way to go. Sixteen bucks for a tube of lipstick is not awful. The quality is there, and honestly? Compared to other department store brands, they’re not TOO expensive. VERY pigmented, the color selection is phenomenal, they don’t shy away from “too bright” or “too crazy” so you can get anything you want out of the line. Like, they’re going to march on our makeup citadels and depose our other lipsticks until there is no lipstick but the great MAC overlord. MAC lipsticks are going to stage a makeup coup. Soft, creamy, in every finish possible? Yes, please. $22 makeup review mac paint pot eye shadow primer painterly eyeshadow primer

Not cakey or anything, but you want a good, full base. I figured this out the hard way the first time, when I blended it out to almost nothing. One thing worth noting about the product is you can’t be too light with it or the shadows will crease.

If you’re fair like me, it doesn’t do much as an under brow highlighter, but I have seen other people with actual skin tone applying Painterly beneath the arch of the brow for a pop of light. I tend to stick this where I get a little blue near the inner corner of my eye pre-concealer. Not only does it give a smooth, sticky base for your shadows to stick to, but the pigmentation covers veins and dark spots. Painterly, when applied to the lids and under brow, makes for a phenomenal eye shadow primer. MAC’s Paint Pots are cream pigments–opaque, somewhat thick but not paste-like, soft creams that will cover whatever you put them on. It’s not a fancy, splashy, sparkly product, but holy crap it’s a functional one. This is one of the products that finds its way into ninety percent of my makeup applications.
