Customer Review: great for makeup application
Summary: 4 Stars

What is that stuff for anyway? It's just water in a spray bottle, right?

No. Not quite. It is mostly water, yes. But it also contains a bunch of chemicals like Methylpropanediol, AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Pentylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phhenoxyethanol, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Perfume, Methylparaben, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool. I don't know what all that stuff is and I am pretty sure I spelled it wrong because the font on the bottle is quite small, but I can tell you what I use this product for:

1) giving a nice dewy canvas for applying liquid or gel foundations
2) activating makeup cakes - like Kryolan Aqua Color or MAC Chromacake or Mehron Paradise makeup
3) mixing with powder shadows or pigments to make an eyeshadow, blush, eyeliner, or face paint that grabs on to the skin
4) thinning out thick products like creamy concealer so they slide and slip smoothly onto the skin rather than clump, clot, and crease
5) giving a quick final spritz of this stuff does seem to give makeup a bit more staying power
6) put some of this on your makeup sponge to prevent over saturation of product (save your makeup for your face, not the sponge) and to thin out makeup so you don't have to slap so much on your face

It's not a miracle worker. There are some tasks that this product is not great for, such as:

1) do not ever, ever mix this with cream to powder shadow, blush, foundation - it will make the product sink in to your pores and it will look GROSS and the product won't set properly
2) I don't like using this with matte cheek colors, the combo also seems to soak into the skin too much and it's just an ugly look
3) for heavens sake don't use this on the waterline - it will sting
4) lip products - it just doesn't work right, it tends to make them separate
5) some silicone based products will ball up when they come in contact with this
6) if you spray Mist & Fix just before or just after applying water based mascara, it will take even longer to dry so don't sneeze or something because that mascara will smudge

It might seem pricey, but it is a good product when used properly. Don't use so much that the liquid collects. Generally if the surface is just damp then you used the right amount. Too much and you're in for a mess.

There is a similar product by Ben Nye called Liqui-Set(and probably other companies have too like MAC has Fix Plus and Water Based Mixing Medium). But I prefer Mist & Fix because I like the spray bottle more and I like that it isn't too scented.
