Besides keeping your skin sun safe, summer is also a time to pay extra attention to makeup. No matter how good your makeup skill is, with the weather so hot and humid, your makeup just isn’t going to stay on your face easy. Smudged eyeliner, melting foundation is provided after commute to the office or dining on a patio, even your powder blush isn’t safe from smearing. What a headache!
Good news is makeup experts have found an ultimate solution for the summer sweaty situation: A makeup setting spray.
A makeup setting spray is rather like a primer, except that it is applied after your makeup. So the setting spray basically works as a top coat of your makeup. Comes in a spray or mist form, the makeup setting spray is transparent and won’t change the color and texture of your makeup. It’s an invisible breathable mesh on top of your makeup.
Besides holding your makeup in place, many setting sprays also included other skincare benefits. There are formulae of sprays infused with a blend of essential oils, horsetail juice, and kiwi fruit extract to tone, hydrate skin and protect it from harmful free radicals. Some sprays come with cooling technology, while some other boasts SPF 30 UV/UVA protection.
The versatile makeup setting spray is easy to use as well. Like hairspray, it is the finishing touch in your beauty regimen. So basically all you need to do is after you finish putting on your makeup products like BB cream, eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick, hold your makeup setting spray at an arm’s length, and apply a few squirts. Don’t rub it or bolt it, just allow it to dry naturally. Easy peasy!
