Setting Spray & Powder

Finish off your makeup look with a few spritzes of setting spray or a dash of setting powder to lock in your makeup! Using makeup mist or finishing powder can make a world of a difference. Using these products can help your makeup to last longer as well as help to control oil or hydrate the skin. No matter your skin type – dry or oily – there are makeup setting products that will work well with your skin.

There are many benefits to using a makeup setting spray. While it can make your makeup last all day, it can also benefit your skin. There is a setting spray for oily skin and for dry skin. Do you find that throughout the day, your face oils just break apart your makeup? A matte setting spray would be beneficial for you. Spraying a few spritzes of mattifying makeup spray will prevent the oils from coming through and ruining your makeup look.

If you have dry skin, you may find that your foundation clings to your dry patches and creates a less than appealing texture. You can prevent your texture from showing through your makeup by hydrating your skin with a few spritzes of dewy setting spray. A dewy finishing spray is hydrating and will leave your skin with a natural-looking glow!

Setting spray can help to keep your makeup in place and help it to look flawless throughout the day. To use a setting spray, first find the formula that's right for your skin type. A mattifying makeup setting spray is great for oily skin, while a hydrating spray with moisturizing ingredients works great for those with dry skin. Look for a setting spray like e.l.f. Dewy Coconut Setting Mist to give your skin a gorgeous glow. After you've chosen the best setting spray for you, it's time to apply it to your face. Shake the bottle vigorously with the cap still on to make sure that all of the ingredients are mixed. Remove the cap, then place the bottle at least a few inches from your face, then spray it in an X and then a T formation until your whole face is covered. Wait a few minutes until the spray has dried, and enjoy a beautiful all-day makeup look.

Whether it's pressed or loose setting powder, this is another product that can help your makeup stay in place all day. To use setting powder, apply it anywhere you want your makeup to stay put. You can apply the powder to your eyelids, cheeks, nose, and chin. Use a large brush and dip it into the container or on the pan and sweep it across until you have just enough to cover the brush. Gently sweep your brush across the eyelids and all over your face for a flawless finish. Always apply setting powder after your foundation and other makeup is fully dry so it doesn't leave streaks. Try e.l.f Beautifully Bare Finishing Powder or Maybelline Lasting Fix Powder to create a long lasting makeup look.

Baking makeup has been a trend in the makeup community for quite some time now. People bake their makeup to increase longevity of their makeup and to prevent creasing. Sounds great, right? Well what does it mean to bake makeup, anyways? Baking your makeup consists of packing on translucent powder onto areas of your face where you want extra coverage, and leaving it on for a few minutes. Most apply face baking powder underneath their eyes, on their foreheads, under their cheekbones and on their chin – as these are places where concealer is often placed. While the finishing powder is on your face, the heat makes it so that the powder is set to perfection. After a few minutes, brush off the excess bake with a fluffy brush and you will be left with a crease-free and flawless complexion!

Neither setting spray nor setting powder is inherently better. However, you may find that one product works better for your skin type. Make sure to look at the ingredients; some formulas contain moisturizers, sunscreen or antioxidants. 

Setting sprays are liquid, so they can offer extra hydration for dry skin. They can also impact the texture and appearance of your makeup. Products like Maybelline Facestudio Lasting Fix are made to give your skin a matte finish, but others can create a dewy or radiant look. 

If you have oily skin, a setting powder may be a better option. That's because the powder absorbs the oil, so it's less likely to cause your makeup to bleed or smear. It can also help prevent shine. Some setting powders contain ingredients that create a soft, blurred finish on your face. The Creme Shop Go Bananas! is formulated to brighten and color-correct. 

You should always apply the spray after the powder. When the spray hits the powder, it usually creates a smoother, softer look, and it's compatible with common types, including pressed powder and powder foundation.  

If you can't decide the setting powder vs. setting spray issue, consider using them at the same time. It's fine to use setting spray and setting powder together; the combination may even help your makeup last longer. 

If your skin tends to be dry, try putting the powder only on the oiliest parts of your face — for most people, that's the T-zone. The powder can absorb the oil where needed, and the spray adds a dash of moisture everywhere else. 

It's possible to set your makeup without a setting spray or powder. One option is to use a primer, which creates a smooth look and helps makeup stay in place. Apply it to your skin before your foundation and eye shadow. You can also use a matte foundation that's formulated to absorb oil and prevent smudging. These methods tend to be most effective for people with dry, normal or combination skin.
