At work, my face often gets greasy, so I'm constantly using oil blotting sheets. However, this would often leave my makeup patchy, which was frustrating. That's when I decided to try the d'Alba Makeup Fixer, and here's my review after using it daily for about two weeks: 1. My skin, which used to turn into an oil slick by 1 PM after applying makeup at 9 AM, now produces much less oil! As a result, I touch my face less, and my makeup seems to wear off more gracefully. 2. The application experience is great! The spray dispenses a fine, gentle mist that feels nice on the skin. Personally, I love the scent - it's like a forest fragrance. 3. While some reviews mentioned wanting a larger or smaller size, I found this to be just right! It's neither too big nor too small, making it convenient to carry when traveling.
Cons1. The cap doesn't seem to close properly. I'm not sure if it's just mine, but initially, I had to use a lot of force to close it tightly. After some use, perhaps due to jostling in my bag, the cap became loose and often comes off. 2. The packaging is quite smooth, which can be slippery. Since it's typically the last step in a makeup routine, your hands might have residue from other products, making it a bit challenging to grip without applying extra pressure. 3. While it's convenient for everyday carry, like most sprays, I feel like I'm going through it too quickly. It seems to run out faster than I'd like, which is disappointing.
TipGiven it's winter now, I've been using it twice a day - once before leaving for work and once between lunch and leaving work. Using it like a face mist in the dry office environment has helped reduce that tight feeling in my skin and seems to help my makeup last longer, which I really appreciate!

I like to have everything set in one go, even before putting on a mask, as I find touch-ups bothersome. I usually prefer a matte finish, thinking it would hold up better against sweat. (I truly have combination dehydrated skin - dry when it's dry, and in summer, well... you know!) However, this mist has changed my perspective. It shattered my personal rule that only a matte finish ensures long-lasting makeup. The hydration and subtle glow it leaves on my face have significantly reduced the tight feeling I used to get in this windy, cold winter! In previous winters, my face would often feel extremely tight. But after using this product for a few days, that sensation decreased, and my face started to have a subtle glow - which I love. It's not an oily shine, but a gentle radiance that looks like my natural skin glow! (You can see it in the photos) This would be perfect for people who work outdoors or spend a lot of time outside. And the spray! I'm a fan of fine mists, and this one has an incredible fog-like spray. It feels like the product is gently settling on your face. Sometimes I even spray more because it feels so light! The lightweight mist is truly satisfying! I spray a bit on my makeup puff before applying foundation, and then again after finishing my makeup. It absorbs surprisingly quickly! Even busy people in the morning can easily use this. And when I put on a mask right after, I was surprised by how little transfer there was. This product has really changed my mind about setting sprays!
ConsOne downside is that I mainly work indoors, and with rising indoor temperatures and mask-wearing, it can get quite warm. In these situations, I noticed the makeup tends to come off more easily around the nose area where the mask touches. There were also days when it felt slightly slippery. As someone who doesn't usually do touch-ups, this aspect is quite disappointing.
TipWhile it's great to use this as a finishing touch, those with dry skin or on particularly dry days might benefit from spraying it lightly on their makeup puff before starting their makeup routine.
