What is makeup fixer?

How does makeup fixer work?

The main purpose of makeup fixer, as its name suggests, is to set makeup in place, so that it remains there to ensure a perfect look for as long as we need.

This type of beauty product is the latest to be included in new skincare routines for more cosmopolitan women, since if you like to come home with the same perfect look as when you left, you need to include it in your daily routine.

How to apply makeup fixer step by step

 

Makeup fixer is simple to apply. We need to include it as the last step in our makeup routine. 

When we have finished applying our makeup, whether it's just a simple makeover for our everyday look or a more sophisticated one for a special event, we spray a little fixer on our face over the makeup as the final step in our routine. 

We should close our eyes, spray the product on and wait a few seconds for the fixing mist to work on our skin. 

Some professional beauticians apply some fixer over each layer of makeup to make sure that it stays in place longer. When applying foundation, after the powders and eyeshadow, and so on until the makeover is complete. It is a rather complicated technique that requires a lot of practice.

 

Types of makeup fixer

 

As with any beauty product, we need to pay special attention to the type of makeup fixer we choose depending on our skin type and its characteristics:

If we have sensitive skin, we should choose a fragrance-free makeup fixer which contains ingredients that we know will not cause an adverse reaction on our skin, such as hyaluronic acid, green tea or aloe water, which help to keep our skin in good condition. 

If we have oily skin, we will most likely prefer the fixing powder finish because of its matte effect.

Although both products serve the same purpose, there are as many types of makeup fixer on the market as there are skin types. Therefore, it is best to try out different ones until we find the one that best suits our needs.
