She shares her secrets for making makeup last. According to Gray, setting your makeup is key to locking it in and reducing the need to touch up.
The Power of Powder and Spray
It’s not just about powdering and calling it day. Powder and setting spray are both important in this strategic move. Why both? Powder provides an instant matte finish while setting spray acts like an invisible shield to ensure your makeup stays in place for hours.
Here’s what the pros do: After applying concealer and cream products, they use loose powder to stamp them down. Then, spray the setting spray from 10-12 inches, creating a protective layer that locks in your makeup.
The Signs Your Makeup is Truly Set
How can you tell when your makeup is ready to take on the day? If your makeup looks dewy or moist, or if it smudges or slides, then you should look for these signs. This is your cue for powder and spray. The finish of a truly set makeup look should be neither too shiny or too matte. It should be a perfect balance.
Settings for Every Skin Type
Do you think setting is only for oily skin types? Do not think so. Setting your makeup can make all the difference, whether you have combination, dry, or oily skin. Setting sprays can help those with dry or oily skin by providing hydration and lasting power.
The Final Touch: Fan and go
Emily Gray’s tip? Use a hand fan after spraying your setting mist to speed up drying. This little hack will ensure that your makeup is ready to face the day without smudging.
