After releasing scented versions of the 'Prep + Prime Fix +' MAC setting spray, the popular beauty brand is back with a new version of the fan favorite, which contains tiny pearlescent particles that leave the skin with a stunning glow.

Although the original Fix + is already known to the skin with a [dewy finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-set-mist) while cutting any cakiness that underlying foundation and powder might have caused, the new version really amps up the [shimmer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-bond-range), helping to elevate any glamorous look. To better suit different skin tones, the 'Prep + Prime Fix+ Shimmer' comes in two shades: 'Pinklite' and 'Goldlite.' The former leaves a light pink glow, whereas the latter creates a slightly bronzed look.
