Can ordinary hydrating spray set makeup? Is watery or matte a better setting spray?

Both setting spray and hydrating spray have a water-like texture, but they are two completely two products. Setting spray is a makeup product, while hydrating spray is a skin care product, and their effects are completely different.

Ordinary hydrating spray does not have a setting effect.

The hydrating spray is used to replenish moisture for the skin, which is fundamentally different from the setting spray. The hydrating spray has simple ingredients and is very effective in relieving dry skin. There is no oil film in the hydrating spray, and it will not form a protective layer like the setting spray, but simply moisturize the skin. The setting spray has some setting ingredients, which will form a protective film on the skin, making the makeup look advanced and long-lasting.

The final makeup of glossy setting spray is moist and shiny, while the final makeup of matte setting spray is matte texture, and the effect of setting makeup is the same. Setting spray is mainly composed of water, moisturizer and film former. Because of the high water content, the makeup after using setting spray is usually moist and shiny, but some people prefer matte texture makeup, so some brands have developed matte setting spray. The difference between glossy and matte setting spray is mainly the final makeup look. After using glossy setting spray, it feels moist and shiny, while matte setting spray has a matte texture, which is the difference between "watery skin" and "matte skin". Whether it is glossy or matte setting spray, their usage methods are the same. Put it 15 cm away from the face, close your eyes and hold your breath like taking a selfie, then press the nozzle to evenly cover the face with the spray. After the setting spray film is formed and dried, proceed with the subsequent makeup steps. Setting spray is flexible to use. It can be used before makeup to replenish moisture to the skin and make the base makeup fit better to the skin; it can be used after makeup to form a protective film to prevent makeup from falling off.

1. Moisturize before makeup

A makeup setting spray containing moisturizing ingredients will have a moisturizing effect before applying makeup, so you can spray it before applying foundation to ensure that the subsequent makeup will adhere to the skin. But remember not to use a moisturizing spray as a makeup setting spray.

2. Set the base makeup

After using liquid foundation, hold the spray bottle 25cm to 30cm away from your face, then gently press the nozzle to spray the setting spray evenly all over your face. After spraying, cover your face with a tissue to absorb excess moisture. This will make the base makeup more adherent.

3. Spray the sponge with water and apply makeup

Before applying makeup, spray the beauty sponge with setting spray, and then apply the base makeup. This will keep the makeup on the face longer and make the foundation more adherent.

4. Full makeup

After applying the full face makeup, hold the spray bottle 25cm to 30cm away from your face, then gently press the nozzle to spray the setting spray evenly all over your face. After spraying, gently fan your face with your hands to allow the setting spray to form a film quickly.

5. Eye makeup

Before applying eye makeup, in order to make the eye shadow more colorful, spray the setting spray on the makeup brush and then apply eye makeup. This will make the eye makeup more colorful and last longer.

6. Eyebrow makeup

You can spray the setting spray on the eyebrow brush to achieve a setting effect similar to that of an eyebrow raincoat, and it will not fall off easily even if you sweat or get oily.

Setting spray can touch up makeup.

When retouching your makeup, spray the setting spray on the sponge puff and gently press the areas where the powder is floating on your face to remove it, leaving your makeup clean and clear. Use oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil from areas where your makeup is seriously oily, and then use the setting spray to touch up your makeup. The setting spray can make your makeup last longer and moisturize.
