Today I am going to compare two cult favorites, the URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER and the MAC FIX +. I’ve been using the two for a couple of months now and I just want to share my thoughts and maybe help you out which one to spend your bucks on.

DESCRIPTION

Mac:

A lightweight mist packed with vitamins and minerals

Gently soothes and refreshes with a blend of green tea, chamomile, and cucumber; gives an instant boost of hydration; leaves a soft sheen on skin for a fresh finish; dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, non-acnegenic.

Urban Decay:

 All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray keeps makeup looking gorgeously just-applied for up to 16 hours—without melting, fading or settling into fine lines.

Mac is good for both prepping your skin before makeup and setting your makeup but Urban Decay is really just a setting spray. What’s good about Urban Decay is that it is oil and paraben free which is great for those with sensitive skin.

PRICE

Mac: Php 1,250 or $25

Urban Decay: Php 1,600 or $32

The difference between the two is Php 350 or $7. Urban Decay has 118 ml content while Mac has only 100 ml.

PACKAGING

Mac: The Mac fix+ comes in a clear plastic bottle and a black twist cap so you can lock it.

Urban Decay: Comes in a black and purple bottle with a frosted cap.

MIST

Mac: The mist is okay it is not fine. I feel like the spray releases a bit too much product than what I want.

Urban Decay: If you want a very fine mist, this is for you! This setting spray hands down has the most finest ever.

SCENT

Mac: I haven’t tried the original fix+ but what I have is the rose variant which smells so good. A very faint floral scent

Urban Decay: The moment I sprayed it I was taken a little back because of the strong alcohol like scent.

PERFORMANCE

Mac: Mac doesn’t claim any long lasting hours to protect your makeup but for me it can perform really well until 6 hours, after that I can feel my makeup slowly melting especially in this humid country.  Mac can provide that healthy looking face finish.

Urban Decay: UD claims that it can help makeup last until 16hrs but I don’t see that performance because after like 12hrs my makeup will start to fell off. What I like about the Urban Decay is that it makes my makeup really look like it is my skin.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

So the real question is, should I buy MAC or URBAN DECAY and the answer is BUY THE ONE YOU NEED. For an everyday spray or for lighter makeup go for MAC because it will help you not only prep and finish your makeup but also can give you a healthy look skin. If you are going for a glam up look and you are expecting to be out and about for a long time go for URBAN DECAY. Both a great setting spray but I do advise you to go for the Mac with the scent of Rose because it does smell good. If you are not a fan of any alcohol like scent maybe you wouldn’t like the Urban decay all nighter spray.
