Make Up For Ever Mist and Fix

Make Up For Ever is a brand that was discovered by Dany Sanz. The history and philosophy of the company can be found at www.makeupforever.com as well as a complete list of their products.  I have been a fan of Make Up For Ever since attending school.  I was intrigued by their mist and fix which is a product claiming to set your makeup application and give it the longevity  to last for the complete day.   The description of the mist and fix product directly from the MUFE website states,  "This light and comfortable mist seals the makeup and keeps it in place by coating the skin with a weightless and invisible film. The mist provides a continuous protection for the makeup and skin against external attacks (pollution, temperature variations...) by creating a colorless and imperceptible shield made from active hydrating ingredients.". I decided to pick up mist and fix to give it a try.  I have used it on myself a couple of times when going to events and noticed that it did prolong my makeup application but wanted someone else's perspective. I had the opportunity to do a bridal trial for such a naturally beautiful girl this past weekend, minimal makeup is needed for her but because it will be her wedding primers, foundation, powders etc were used. After I completed her makeup, I was packing up and getting ready to leave, she let me know that she was going to keep the makeup on the rest of the day.  So I took that as a great opportunity to take out my mist and fix and start spraying.  Its very important to give some distance when using mist and fix, it is not to be directly sprayed on the face but as the title says MIST..  She let me know she would be spending the rest of the day in her new hot tub which btw I was extremely jealous about since the rest of my day would be spent running errands. I couldn't wait to see if she noticed a difference when I used mist and fix and if her makeup actually stayed considering she would be outside in a hot tub in very humid weather with the sun shining down on her.  Her review of mist and fix is below.

Me (Nalonie), "Hey, did you find the mist and fix which is the stuff I sprayed on your face, helped keep the makeup on longer?"

Nat's response, "Ya for sure, I was in the tub like all afternoon and night lol, and the stuff didn't budge.  It was exactly the same when I went to bed at 12, we were in the tub from 2:30 until like 930, no lie, I even fell asleep on my couch and my makeup didn't budge.  It was amazing stuff it held up to sweat really well.  I had to be dead set in the sun for a few hours before it started feeling weird  but if I dabbed it with tissue it was back to normal and I still glowed."

Personally I would say that Make Up For Ever mist and fix lives up to its name and what it is set out to do.  Professionally its essential for your clients especially for bridal applications. Although mist and fix has a lot of pros about it the only con I can think of is that it does leave your face feeling wet for a little while after but that goes away within minutes.

Here is the beautiful Nat right after her bridal trial and again enjoying her hot tub while wearing mist and fix.
