Do you ever wonder how others make their makeup stay put all day, but yours seems to be everywhere but where you put it? The secret to getting your makeup to last all day doesn’t include constant touch ups, but instead a makeup setting spray. This spray is very similar to hairspray, in the way that it finishes off the look and creates a barrier preventing the makeup from moving due to heat, facial movements and sweat.
What It Is
Setting spray is a clear liquid spray that sets to keep the makeup you have applied on and in place. Setting spray also creates a barrier from the elements that your makeup faces throughout the day. Most sprays will go on clear and will feel like mist that dries within seconds of it being applied. These sprays can be considered an invisible protective shield, keeping makeup where you want it and the harmful agents away.
How To Use
Using setting spray is extremely easy – it is just one more quick step to add to your beauty routine.
It will save you a lot of time doing touch ups and makeup fixes throughout the day. All you have to do is apply your makeup as you normally would and then read the instructions on the setting spray. Most will suggest that you spray them from six to eight inches away, while you gradually mist the spray over your face, taking caution around the eyes. Some setting sprays may suggest you that you reapply the product after a few hours to achieve the best results.
Benefits
There are many benefits that setting spray provides, the greatest being that it will help to prolong the initial makeup that you have on. It affordably enhances your existing makeup’s lasting power. It will also help you to lose less of your makeup trying to make corrections and reapplying because it is staying where it should. Setting spray is also great for special occasions like a night out or a wedding where you want your makeup to last and look fresh.
Setting spray may not be part of your daily routine, but it is definitely worth trying out if you struggle to get your makeup to last all day. There are many different formulations of makeup setting spray, each coming in at a different price point. The main ingredients are very similar no matter what the price point is so try starting out with an affordable option and see if you like it.
