Setting Sprays- What are they doing for you?!
MAC Fix+
This is what MAC says about it:
An aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin
blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh,
natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray
it on. Skin drinks it up!
Ingredients:
Water, glycerin,
butylene glycol, cucumber fruit extract, chamomilla, camellia leaf
extract, tocophryl acetate, caffeine, panthenol, hydrogenated castor
oil, fragrance
Price:
3.4oz - US$ 10.00
100 mL - € 10.00
My opinion:
From looking at the ingredients I wouldn't call this a setting spray, it is more like a toner. You can use this before or after applying your make-up. Before: It will moisturize your skin. After: It will take away the "powdery" look.
I prefer to use this spray before applying my make-up. The mist is really fine. My skin feels soft and moisturized after spraying it on. I tap it into my skin.
I don't like it too much after applying my make-up: It really looks nice but I don't have the feeling that my make-up lasts longer.
This is what Skindinävia says about it:

Price:
2oz - US$ 19.00
4oz - US$ 29.00
8oz - US$ 39.00
My opinion:
I would say this one is my favourite. The mist is the finest of all five sprays. It takes away all of the "powdery" look that you sometimes get after setting your foundation with a powder. I can't say if it would make your make-up last for 16 hours, as I don't ever wear make-up that long (the longest I had my make-up on when using Skindinävia was about 12 hours).
For me it does make a different when I use that. Especially on my nose the foundation looks better when using that. I can totally recommend this setting spray. I have really sensitive skin and I didn't react to this product at all.
This is what Skindinävia says about it: The Bridal Makeup Finish gives a healthy luminous finish over your makeup and sets it in place for your special day. Each four ounce bottle contains over 300 sprays--enough for the entire bridal party.

Extends makeup wear and controls shine under high stress.
Helps makeup resist heat and humidity.
Award Winning.
Bridal Makeup Finish comes in 4oz size only.
Ingredients:
Water, Alcohol Denat, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, PVP, methyl perfluorobutyl ether, Methyl Perfluoroisobutyl Ether, Dimethicone PEG 7 Phosphate, PPG 3 Benzyl Ether Myristate, Caprylyl Glycol, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Cocamidopropyl PG Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Glycereth 5 Lactate, Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Fragrance, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Poloxamer 407
Price:
4oz - US$ 29.00
My opinion:
I can't see a big difference between using this one and the No More Shine one. I have to admit I haven't been taking pictures with both of them on to see if you can notice a difference then.
