Review: Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Amazing Makeup Fixing Spray

Sometimes I feel like Ličila.si are my fairy godmother. They always surprise me with interesting products. Some time ago I posted a post where I said I haven't try any setting spray yet and after few weeks, when they were sending Slovenian beauty bloggers new products to test, I found a Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Amazing Makeup Fixing Spray in my package. You can't even imagine my excitement. My expectations weren't high, I actually expected it won't work that well, but it surprised me, because it's really a great product. But have in mind this is my first fixing spray, so I can't compare it with any other and my experiences with fixing sprays aren't huge.

Fixing spray is a last step in a makeup routine. You spray it all over your face when you finish applying makeup and set everything on its place with its help. Before usage you have to shake the bottle and then spray it few times holding it around 20 cm away from your face. Makeup Revolution says about it: "Makeup Revolution amazing fixing spray is a lightweight setting spray that helps keep foundation and eye makeup in place with no smudging or fading for that just-applied look lasting up to 12 hours."

The spray feels wet when I spray it on my face, but it dries fast. After that it doesn't feel stick, wet or anything else, it's like you wouldn't even use it. It sprays evenly and it covers all areas on the face. At the beginning it didn't have any scent, but then after second usage it got a strong scent after alcohol. The scent could be disturbing if you're sensitive on scents. It bothered me big time after first few usages, but with time I got used to it. I tested this spray during few different occasions, although never when it was extremely hot, because this year we didn't have a real summer, and I received it when the temperatures got colder. 

I find that this setting spray works great. My makeup stayed on the place for a whole day. The spray prevents smudging and prolongs the duration of face makeup (not just a foundation, also a concealer and a blush). It also works good on eye makeup, except in extraordinary situations (like crying, rain etc.). On the lips I didn't even test it, because I usually applied lipstick after I used setting spray. It contains Alcohol denat, which dries the skin, but I didn't notice this spray would dry my skin. I have normal skin, so I can't tell how it'll work on oily skin, but as I read on other blogs it doesn't prevent oily skin from becoming oily. 

I'm borrowing an idea of photo test from my lovely Slovenian blogger Mateja. What better way to show you how it works than with photos right after application and 9 hours after application. I used Pro Fix fixing spray on my face around 1 p.m. (photo 1) and then again around 10 p.m. when I came home from work (photo 2, with flash). My foundation faded away a bit, but it was still there, except around the nose where it usually fades away most quickly. When I don't use setting spray foundation almost disappears after 9-10 hours. The concealer stayed untouched and also blush still looks like I would just apply it. My brows didn't smudge or fade away either (it's just the flash). Eye look faded away a bit and it creased, but that's because I used a cream eyeshadow. Lipstick wore off after two hours, but I didn't use setting spray on it anyway, so that doesn't matter.
I'm wearing Catrice All Matt plus Nude Beige foundation mixed with Makeup Revolution The One in shade 1, Essence Stay All Day 16h concealer, Essence Love Brunettes eyeshadow on brows, Maybelline Color Tattoo Permanent Taupe, Catrice Peacocktail and Essence Lash Princess mascara on eyes, and Sleek bronzer, Sleek Rose Gold blush and Essence Look on the Bright Side highlighter on cheeks. Lipstick is Wear Berries from Essence.

Makeup Revolution fixing spray contains 100 ml which is very nice amount, and it costs 6,95 € at Ličila.si. I'd say this is definitely a great setting spray and inexpensive also, so if you don't want to pay a lot of money for setting spray, get this one. It will help your makeup to stay on its place and it'll prevent smudging. 

What's your opinion about setting sprays? Have you tried Makeup Revolution one? Thank you for reading!
