MAC Fix Plus is like hairspray for your face. It holds makeup on longer throughout the day and also freshens makeup up, just spray this baby on before going out and it's like you redid your makeup. I love to spray this on my face before I put my makeup on and also before I go to bed.

The road to perfect skin is a long and challenging process to say the least.
So are people born with naturally flawless skin or is it simply they have an amazing skin care routine?
My answer to that question would be the second option, they have an amazing skin care routine.
My skin reached it highest blemish free point when I religiously began to wash my face day and night with the same cleanser. Cyndi Crawford once said, the key to amazing skin is consistency, and I for one am a true believer of this.
To test Crawford's theory I switched my routine up, (I've been using Cetaphil sense my junior year in high school) I switched to Drew's Aveda cleansers and I totally broke out! Sure enough once I switched back to my same routine, with in a week I was back to my normal skin.
My one bit of advice would be no matter what facial cleanser you use, pick the one that is best for your skin and be religiously consistant with your facial routine.
Tip: After you splash water on your face and remove your makeup, get a damp washcloth and put some of your cleanser on it, rub all over face removing any excess makeup you might have missed.
