What do you guys use fix+ for? I know it's to make products more vibrant and pigmented but other than that, are there any purpose for it? Will it make my makeup smoother if I apply it before my foundation?

Some ppl use it as you mentioned, to give vibrancy to eyeshadow, but some ppl also use it to give life back to the skin. Packing foundation and powders on top of powders may cause dullness, so to revive the face back to its skin-like state, Mac fix+ comes in handy to do just that c:. For some, Mac fix+ is also used as a spray primer which for some works to help prep the face with a hydrating mist, but it's not for all. Nonetheless, you have to try it to see which technique works best for you.

I spray it on my brushes before I put my brushes into glitter or pigment as it helps it to stick on to the face

Using it before foundation works as a light moisturizer and can add a tiny bit more of a glow.

I like to use it when I wear powder foundation because the powder is usually a tad lighter until my oils mix with it and cause it to oxidize so spraying it with fix+ allows it to oxidize so I don't have to be walking around with a lighter face plus it helps get rid of the powdery look and helps it stick to my skin better.
Usually powders can rub off easily/blend but once that water gets on it, it won't move around.
It kind of does work as a setting spray, for powders anyway.

It's also great to spray on if your skin is feeling dry or the air is dry, a light mist of the water/glycerin mixture will help keep your skin moisturized and can make it look dewy

I use it to spray my beautyblender rather then wet it prior to applying my foundation, also as mentioned above I use it when I'm wearing wet dry formula eyeshadows or highlighters, a few sprays on the brush and it works like a dream (:

I use it as a light moisturizer before I apply any product to my face (even under my primer just so I can have an extra layer of hydration). I apply it to my brushes if I want to enhance the color payoff of my shadows or powder highlight/illuminizer. And I mist it over my face after all my makeup is applied so I can bring life back into my look and smooth it out so it doesn't look so Makeupy lol if that makes sense. I do a full face that involves a lot of powder products so it really helps to mist it on afterwards to make things look hydrated and even more flawless.
