Mac Fix Plus Magic Radiance is a popular makeup setting spray from the brand Mac. This product is designed to give the skin a radiant and glowing finish while keeping the makeup in place for an extended period of time. The Mac Fix Plus Magic Radiance spray is enriched with a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and infused with iridescent particles that help to create a luminous sheen on the skin. It is formulated with a blend of green tea, chamomile, and cucumber extracts, which not only adds hydration but also soothes and refreshes the skin. This makeup setting spray can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used as a primer before applying makeup to prep the skin and create a smooth canvas.
The earliest era of structural biology made clear the necessity of molecular visualization for even small proteins, such as the 62-amino acid snake venom toxin shown here (PDB ID 3EBX). In this process, (a) atomic coordinates are visually rendered on a computer display as (b) lines, “sticks,” spheres, etc., thereby creating a representation of the protein’s 3D structure. Though useful for detailed, atomic-scale analyses, e.g., of enzyme mechanisms, such renditions are too visually cluttered and complicated (incomprehensible, essentially) to enable one to grasp a protein’s overall architecture and topology. For that purpose, (c) ribbon diagrams are a blessing: these diagrams are powerful abstractions of a single protein entity, but do they (d) mask other features and relationships.
The brilliantly conceived and executed Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction CASP , held since 1994 3 , has shown the significant progress in structure prediction over the years; but, all efforts fell far short of what was achieved by AF2 and its predecessor, AlphaFold 4 , and by other efforts, notably RoseTTAFold 5. In gazing at ribbon cartoons on a page, we abandon the physicochemical properties that underlie the structure; consider dynamics as only variations of the ribbon; and we think less about solvent, other interacting molecules, cellular location, evolution, and function.
It can be used as a primer before applying makeup to prep the skin and create a smooth canvas. It can also be used to set the makeup in place after application, ensuring it lasts throughout the day or night. Additionally, it can be used to refresh the makeup throughout the day, giving a boost of radiance and hydration.
The ribbon and the curse – Cournilhoun, Massello
Today I’ll bring you into the high valley of Massello, in a place called Cournilhoun, a woody ridge near the Eidût hill country. It is said that once upon a time in this place lived some fairies (also called fantine) in a cot under a rock. They spent their days picking flowers and herbs, in perfect harmony with nature. Many people recounted of wonderful treasures which were scrupulously guarded in huge chests by the beautiful fairies.
A young man from Pradidiè, which stands in front to Cournilhoun, on the other side of the valley, was wondering if all the rumours about the fantine were truth or not. Finally, a night he took the decision to go and see where was their house. When he got to the cot he saw the lights from the windows, and, when he watched inside… What a wonder! He saw three beautiful girls around the firelight. Taking courage, he knocked at the door and then entered to meet them. He spent all the evening in company with them chatting and joking.
It seems that there are some small footsteps!
Coming back home he was feeling like he was flying… He couldn’t stop to think about the stunning eyes of one of them… He fell in love at the first sight! After that first encounter he began to visit her more and more, and she appeared to reciprocate his love, covering him by kindnesses. A day, the mother of the boy discovered the reason of his night escapes, and she wasn’t happy to discover that the love of his son was for a fantina! The fantine weren’t well–judged by the inhabitants of the valley, because of their magical powers. And so, she began to forbid him to go out at night, totally sure that sooner or later he would have abandoned that unreasonable crush.
But the love refuses to listen to reason, and so the boy succeeded in escaping on the sly to go and meet his girlfriend.
What a great outlook from here!
A night, desperate because of the difficult situation, he talked with the beautiful fairy, and she told him: «No problem! If your mother doesn’t want that we get married, I’ll convince her with magic. Tie this red ribbon around her neck and you’ll see that she’ll change her mind!»
The boy, overjoyed by the idea, took the ribbon and started to run breathlessy towards home, but near Ciancoutan, just below Pradidè, he had to stop to rest. Worried about what he should have told to the mother to excuse his night escape, he decided to try to tie the ribbon, with the intention of make a nice bow to show the gift at its best. So, he tied the tape around the trunk of a larch. But in an instant the flames flared up around the tree, which in a few minutes got charred! The boy, amazed by the fright and misty–eyed thinking about what he could have done to his mother, ran to home.
When the fairies, who observed the scene from their home, saw that their bad intent had been discovered, they flied off the handle! Furious with the young man who betrayed their confidence, they packed up their things and got on their chests full of trasures. Because the chests were magic, they used them to descend the valley passing over the river, destroying everything they crossed and pledging to never come back to that valley.
The Rio Rabbioso (Riou Rabioûr), the way from which, probably, the fantine descended the valley
They only spared the destiny of the bridge of Masselli, near Pomaretto village, because there was an old man passing by there, who said: «Beautiful fantine, low your heads and spare the bridge!». Because they weren’t indifferent to praises, they decided to not destroy that bridge, and followed their descent towards the valley floor to go away and never get back.
The bridge of Masselli
How to get there
From Pinerolo go to Villar Perosa, then follow the indications to Perrero, overstep it and follow on the Strada Provinciale 170 to Massello. Then go straight on for 1.5 Kms until your reach the Gros Passet hamlet. Here you’ll have to leave your car and go by feet taking a trail just above the hamlet which runs along Rio Rabbioso. You’ll find the Cournilhoun hamlet on your left.

Are there other examples where our thinking becomes “locked in”? Taxonomies and ontologies come to mind. The tree of life, while an evolutionary anchor point, is more accurately viewed as dynamic and changeable. If Woese and Fox [10] had not thought so, the discovery of Archaea would have been delayed.

Reviews for "Mac Magic Radiance Not Turning on? Try These Solutions"
1. Jessica - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Mac fix plus magic radiance spray. I have oily skin and was hoping this product would help control the shine and give me a radiant finish. However, it did the exact opposite. Within a couple of hours, my face was even oilier than usual and the radiance looked more like sweat. The spray itself also had a strong chemical scent that I found quite off-putting. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product for those with oily skin.
2. Michael - 1/5 - The Mac fix plus magic radiance was a complete waste of money for me. I have dry skin and was looking for a hydrating mist that would give me a healthy glow. However, this spray did nothing for my skin. It didn't provide any hydration and the radiance it promised was practically non-existent. I tried using it as a setting spray as well, but it didn't do much to prolong the wear of my makeup either. Save your money and invest in a different product that actually delivers on its claims.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high expectations for the Mac fix plus magic radiance spray, but unfortunately, it fell short. The radiance it gave my skin was subtle at best and didn't have the wow factor I was hoping for. The mist itself was also uneven and left droplets on my face, which was quite frustrating. Additionally, I didn't notice any improvement in the longevity of my makeup when using this as a setting spray. Overall, it just didn't live up to the hype for me and I won't be repurchasing.
4. David - 2/5 - I'm not sure what all the fuss is about with the Mac fix plus magic radiance spray. I tried it based on rave reviews, but it left my skin feeling sticky and didn't provide the radiant finish it promised. The spray mechanism was also faulty and would sometimes dispense too much product, leaving my face feeling drenched. I found the scent to be overwhelming and it lingered for quite some time. I'll be sticking to my other setting sprays that actually work for me.
