This product is really cool, but it is purely professional! I use it for underwater makeup, for covering tattoos or bruises, so that the foundation doesn't transfer onto clothing, for very oily skin that tends to melt everything, but it needs to last all day! However, the first three ingredients of this aerosol are aggressive on the skin and with constant use, they can cause irritation, allergies, pimples, peeling, etc. One use won't do any harm - I've tried it on myself, sprayed it on for several consecutive days, and everything was fine. It is safe for healthy skin if used infrequently. But think a few times if you really need it every day.
I use it constantly, it's a very good fixative. It significantly prolongs the duration of makeup. In general, I have a lot of cosmetics from this brand and all of it is very high quality. The quality surpasses the price significantly.
I apply it before going to work, after I "draw" my face. I apply it over the finished "picture," without using powder at all, as there is no point in it on dry skin - it won't make it shine any more. It doesn't feel heavy or tight on the face. If I apply a little too much, the skin may shine a little, but I still don't feel any film or mask-like sensation.
As for the longevity of the cosmetics - definitely yes. It is most noticeable with the eyeshadows that I use to fill in my eyebrows. They noticeably fade/come off less by the end of the day.
I bought it out of curiosity, and now it has become a great find and part of my daily skincare routine.
Every morning, I can't shake the feeling that I've mixed up the bottles and applied regular hair spray to my face. The scent and effect are the same.
For the first couple of minutes, the promised film described in the product description can actually be felt on the face, providing a noticeable tightening sensation. Before leaving the house, it looks beautiful in the mirror, giving the face a matte finish, but throughout the day, it turns into a nightmare. The fixative does not prevent the intense oily shine (which was not the case with other fixatives, even though I haven't changed my foundation+concealer+powder routine). On some particularly dry areas, the matte finish can turn into flaking. It doesn't look or feel good. I won't be repurchasing this product, and I'm not even sure if I'll have the strength to continue using it for at least another week.
I bought it because "I wanted to try it out." It turned out to be an excellent product that fully meets its purpose.
