It adds an instant boost of hydration while delivering a soft, dewy sheen to set and refresh your makeup. This spray helps in leaving you with a natural finish and eliminating that powdery or cakey finish.

PROS • Makes your makeup last longer • Your face won’t look greasy or oily • Can be used to refresh your makeup through the day CONS • Its application is a little tricky LOCKING YOUR LOOK! This involves three simple steps: • Shake your spray bottle just enough to mix it all up. • Once you’ve finished your makeup (this includes your foundation, mascara, lipstick, powder, and all that you use), hold the bottle six to eight inches away from the face and spray the product all over your face and neck, so you get even and full coverage. It will take away any cakey or powdery effect that you have going on. • Let the spray dry naturally – do not rub or meddle with your face right after you’ve sprayed on your setting spray as this will only mess up your makeup. • You can reapply your setting spray through the day or whenever necessary to mattify your makeup or rehydrate your skin – depending on what product you’ve chosen.
