When it comes to locking in your makeup, a good setting spray is non-negotiable—especially in India’s humid and unpredictable weather. I’ve been testing the PAC Makeup Fixer over the past few weeks, and I have to say... it might just be one of the most underrated gems in my makeup kit.

The Mist:

This was a game-changer. The mist is super fine and evenly distributed—no harsh droplets that leave spots or ruin your base. Just a smooth, even cloud of product that sets your makeup without disturbing it.

Longevity:

My makeup stayed intact for 7 to 8 hours, even through travel, light sweating, and a mildly humid day. My foundation didn’t separate, the blush stayed visible, and the highlighter still glowed. Even better, I noticed less oil around my T-zone by midday.

Scent & Feel:

The fragrance is light and pleasant, not too perfumey. It doesn’t sting or tighten the skin. Once it dries, you genuinely forget it’s there.

Pros & Cons 

Pros:

  • Ultra-fine mist (doesn’t disturb makeup).
  • Long-wearing results (6–8 hours).
  • Travel-friendly packaging.
  • Non-sticky and lightweight.
  • Works well on all skin types.

Cons:

  • Slightly pricier than drugstore alternatives
  • May need a second spritz on very oily skin in peak summer.

My Take: If you’re deciding between these three:

  • Swiss Beauty is good for beginners or short wear on time.
  • MAC Fix+ is best for luxurious hydration and a glow finish, but pricey.
  • PAC sits perfectly in the middle: affordable, high-performance, and reliable for long wear.
