FAQ
- How do setting sprays work?
Seeing all your makeup and hard work fade away before lunchtime can be disheartening, and setting spray works as a solution to that. Applied after your makeup is complete, it works to hold your makeup in place by forming a thin layer above your makeup to protect it from smudging, fading, or any sort of threat.
Depending on the type of spray you purchase, it can also enhance your final appearance by creating your desired finish, whether that be matte, dewy or glowing. The type of setting spray you choose to buy should also be suited to your skin type. Those with dry skin should be more inclined to buy hydrating setting sprays whilst those with oil or combination skin should opt for matte formulas.
