WHAT DOES SETTING SPRAYS DO FAQ’s
Yes. Formulated specifically to keep your make up locked in place, setting sprays make a big difference to the longevity of your overall look. Although you can set your base with powder, it won’t prevent the make up from slipping and sliding. A setting spray on the other hand is infused with ingredients that work to keep everything exactly where you first applied it.
Like the cherry on top of your favourite cake, a setting spray is created to be spritzed as the last step in your make up routine. Although you can use it to sandwich your look together (and when you’re in need of some mega holding power), setting sprays are typically used after you’ve completed your make up.
