First off, let's go over the claims of this product:
"Fragrance-free make up fixer spray.
Its formula, with cosmetic alcohol that evaporates instantaneously, allows for extreme fixing of your make up, without changing it.
Imperceptible and non-sticky, Make Up Fixer is mild on the face thanks to the special Chamomile extract formula.
The’ elegant 75 ml size is perfect both to carry in your bag for that last minute touch up, and to keep beside your make up mirror as a final touch for flawless make up."
My biggest complaint with this product, is that it claims to be "fragrance free". To me, this has a very strong scent of what I imagine an old man is southern Italy would smell like. It smells like some kind of cologne. Which normally wouldn't bother me, but the smell lingers for a annoying amount of time.
But lets get to the point: the performance of the product.
The first red flag for me is the words 'cosmetic alcohol'. Alcohol is very drying to the skin and I don't like the idea of spraying it onto my face.
But I looked past it, and tried it out anyways.
This really does evaporate as soon as it hits the skin. It gives a cooling sensation and actually feels quite nice. Because it evaporates so quickly, this spray doesn't take away an over powdered look, or give a glow. And it also doesn't help the makeup to blend into the skin like other setting sprays.
The most important part for me is whether or or not it gives lasting power to my foundation.
Unfortunately, I honestly didn't find that this spray gave any lasting power -- or any benefits at all.
This fixing spray was a huge disappointment.
