After getting the perfect makeup, of course you want to keep it. Whether you're commuting to work all day at the office or spending the night dancing, your makeup's durability will be put to the test. Makeup artists and beauty experts often emphasize the importance of using a primer, even though setting spray is no less important and useful. If applied to makeup, this spray can help make it last longer. Even better, the setting spray is very easy to use. So, you don't have to bother if you are going to include it as part of your daily makeup.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Choosing a Spray Setting
Step 1. Choose a product that suits your skin type
Just like facial care products, different setting sprays are suitable for different skin types. If your skin is very dry, you should avoid products that contain alcohol because it can make your skin even more dry. Instead, look for an alcohol-free setting spray that moisturizes and hydrates the skin. Meanwhile, if your skin is oily, look for a setting spray that can create a matte look.
If you have combination skin, try different types of setting sprays until you find one you like. Many setting spray products claim to be suitable for all skin types. It's a good idea to try a product like this first
Step 2. Consider the climate in which you live
In hot and humid weather, makeup tends to "melt" on the face easily. For that, look for a setting spray that can be both cooling and heat-resistant. On the other hand, if you live in a cold or cold climate, try a setting spray that can hydrate and protect your face from dry and harsh air.
Step 3. Choose a product that delivers the results you want
The final result of makeup really depends on personal taste. Some people like the results of makeup that is matte and shine-free. Meanwhile, some other people prefer the results of makeup that is moist and radiant. Be sure to take this into account when choosing a setting spray. Some setting sprays will make your face look matte and shine-free, while other setting sprays will leave your face looking moisturized and glowing.
Step 4. Use products that contain SPF in hot weather
No matter what kind of makeup you get, there is no step more important than protecting your skin from the sun. If you're going to be spending time in the sun, try looking for a setting spray that contains SPF. Use this product on your face before leaving the house, and reapply throughout the day. This product will not only maintain makeup, but also protect your skin from burns and other adverse effects caused by sun exposure.
Even though setting sprays containing SPF can help protect your skin from the sun, you should still use sunscreen because setting sprays alone are not effective enough to protect your skin
Part 2 of 3: Perfecting Makeup
Step 1. Use setting spray to wet the foundation sponge
Many people use a Beauty Blender or regular makeup sponge to apply liquid foundation. To use this sponge properly, you must first wet it. Instead of using water, try using a setting spray to wet a makeup sponge.
- You may not be able to use a setting spray to wet all types of makeup sponges. There are several brands of makeup sponges that will damage if they are wetted with setting spray. So, be careful.
- The moisture in the makeup sponge will help you apply and spread your foundation easily.
- Setting spray can also help prevent foundation from leaving the skin all day long.
Step 2. Spray setting spray on the eyeshadow brush
Powder eyeshadow colors tend to be sheer, so you'll need to apply multiple times to get the bold and defined look you want. Setting spray can help you with this. Take an eye shadow brush and rub it over the powder eyeshadow you want to use. After that, before applying to the eyelids, spray setting spray on the brush. As a result, the eye shadow color will be more defined than if used alone.
- The eye shadow will be slightly moist when applied to the eyelids, but will dry quickly.
- Setting spray will help maintain eye shadow throughout the day so it doesn't fall apart or break.
- If you want to try a new look or a look that requires blending your eye shadow, don't try this method. Wait until you are done applying makeup, then close your eyes and apply setting spray.
Step 3. Spray on the under eye concealer brush
To disguise dark circles while making your eyes brighter, use a concealer under the eyes. Use your finger to highlight the product. After that, spray setting spray on the concealer brush before using it to blend.
- You will find it easier to blend the concealer using a brush that has been moistened with setting spray.
- The setting spray will also hydrate the delicate under-eye skin layer and keep the concealer layer smooth and flawless. That way, the concealer layer will not break and look like blotches.
Part 3 of 3: Lock Up Makeup
Step 1. Shake the spray bottle
Different products contain different ingredients and may contain ingredients that can settle to the bottom of the bottle. To make sure you get the right mix, gently shake the setting spray bottle. No need to shake it vigorously, just slowly until the ingredients are mixed.
Step 2. Spray all over your finished face
Leave a distance of 15-20 cm between the spray bottle and your face. Then, spray the setting spray several times until it is evenly distributed all over the face.
- Setting sprays are great for the outermost layers of makeup, such as bronzer, eye shadow, and blush. If you want to maintain foundation and concealer, you should use a primer first. Primer and setting spray can be used together.
- One way to spread the setting spray all over your face is to spray it in an "X" shape then again in a "T" shape.
Step 3. Let the setting spray dry naturally
After spraying the setting spray, wait for your face to dry by itself. It doesn't take long for the skin to absorb the setting spray. Do not rub or mix setting spray on your face or your makeup will be messy.
Step 4. Spray setting spray again throughout the day
Put the setting spray bottle in the bag so you can reuse it whenever you want. Depending on the product you choose, a setting spray can help soothe your skin, remove shine, and hydrate your skin all day long.
