Setting Sprays

[Anonymous]

Okay so I have a serious question, can I use a hydrating setting spray on my face and then use a alcohol setting spray on top of that one? My alcohol setting spray is a good setting spray but it doesn’t hydrate my face, but I was wondering if I used the hydrating setting spray underneath it, if that would help hydrate my face and not dry it out.

I have dry skin, so I mostly use hydrating setting sprays @Anonymous. The Morphe Continuous Setting Spray is really good, and I also like the MAC Fix+ Spray. Lately, I have also been including a matte spray to help lock in my face for the day when I'm not using a matte foundation.

"Alcohol" and "Alcohol Denat." are the same thing and are not good for your skin, but it is hard to find a matte setting spray without it. I am currently using the Ulta Matte Setting Spray. It also has alcohol, but it's around the 15th ingredient, so I'm okay with that.

I use MAC Fix+ after setting with powder. Then, I use the Morphe Setting Spray after I'm done with my entire face. I end with the Ulta Setting Spray to keep it all in place for the day.

@Anonymous what exact sprays are you using/going to use?

You can use  a refresher spray throughout the day, on top. But yes first hydrate/prep the skin before makeup.

I want to use a spray that can keep my makeup on a long time during the day without hurting my skin and that nourishes it, while also keeping it matte. I have the pixi setting spray which I really love, but I feel like it doesn’t stay on too long and it’s a glow spray so it’s not matte.

@Anonymous The key is to hydrate the face first before you even apply makeup. Then set the face with your setting spray that you like.

If your setting spray has alcohol in it, should you continue to use it? I heard certain alcohols are good for your skin but alcohol denat is not.

@Anonymous I personally don’t use sprays with alcohol and some girls on here will tell you alcohol in the ingredients is bad for your skin.  It’s up to personal preference.
