Do you ever wonder what is the secret of keeping
lipsticks, foundation, eyeliner stay intact or not smudging throughout the day?
The secret is simple. Fashion enthusiasts spray their face, lipsticks soon after completion of their daily makeup
routine. This spray is called makeup setting spray. An analogy can be drawn between makeup setting spray and hair spray.
That analogy is makeup setting spray is manufactured for your face while
hairspray is for your hair. But in case of makeup setting spray, the spray
will not cause gluing your eye lashes.
Another thing which is closely related to makeup
setting spray is finishing spray. Many people mix these two different products
together. Though the goal of these two products is the same-keep your make up
as long as possible they act differently. Makeup setting spray is manufactured
in such a way so that it ensures makeup do not smudge from your skin. On the
other hand, the function of finishing spray is to keep your skin hydrated. Keeping
your skin moisturized throughout the day is important since makeup does not
loosen up from a hydrated skin. The makeup tends to loose easily from dry skin.
Why should you use makeup setting spray?
Using makeup setting spray is not mandatory. It
actually depends on the situation. If you are planning to attend an all day
long party where you want that your makeup remains the same, in such case using
makeup setting spray is mandatory. But for casual use for example putting some makeup
before attending office work using makeup setting spray is completely optional.
How to use the spray?
Makeup setting spray should be applied at the last
stage of your makeup procedure. Do not apply it until your makeup is complete.
When you are done with the makeup, take the spray bottle and shake it. Hold the
bottle from several inches away from your face and then spray on your face.
While spraying, make sure that you don't spray directly on your eyes. After
spraying, do not rub on your face. Instead, let the spray to fall off
naturally.
How much will you spray depends on the types of
products you are using. However, whatever the product you are using, a couple
of sprays is sufficient. Another caveat does not soak your face completely with
spray. Spray lightly will be enough.
What is the opinion of beauty experts regarding the effectiveness of makeup setting spray?
According to Gloria Elias-Foeillet, a beauty expert
who worked for celebrities for example, Kelly Anderson, believed that makeup
setting spray is really effective. The spray ensures the longevity of your
makeup. She advised that one good practice is instead of spraying makeup
setting spray at the end of your makeup application, spray at the end of each
step of your makeup routine. For example, after applying your foundation, spray
your face with makeup setting spray. Don't wait to finish all the steps and
then spray.
Another makeup specialist Mia Yang agreed with
Gloria. She believes that in some special occasion like in a wedding event, it
is unthinkable that one can finish her makeup without spraying makeup setting
spray.
