WHY YOU SHOULD USE A SETTING SPRAY

Ever wondered how professional dancers and actors keep their makeup from sweating off? Setting spray has been their secret weapon all along. But even if you aren’t performing Swan Lake or competing in a reality TV dance competition, you can still bask in the time-, temperature- and gravity-defying benefits of a setting spray.

Using Setting Spray

Made to prevent all makeup, including foundation, eye shadow and lipstick, from creasing, smudging or fading, most setting sprays go on much like hairspray: in a fine mist. It should be applied after completing a full face of makeup, whether it’s your regular, minimal routine or a look that is more elaborate.

To use, shake the bottle, then close your eyes and spray it on in both an “X” shape and a “T” shape, about eight to ten inches from your face.

There's a setting spray out there for every face and occasion.
