Can a setting spray set makeup without a film-forming agent? What is the film-forming agent of a setting spray called?

Setting spray cannot set makeup without a film-forming agent. How does setting spray achieve the setting effect? ​​The biggest difference between it and ordinary moisturizing spray is that setting spray contains a film-forming agent. After spraying it on the face, it can quickly form a thin transparent film to fix the makeup on the face. Even if there is oiliness or sweating, the makeup will not be affected, which improves the lasting effect of makeup. Moreover, a thin layer of film will not burden the skin, but make the makeup look more refreshing. Setting makeup with setting spray will not cause powder sticking, which is also the difference between it and setting powder and honey powder. Therefore, when choosing a setting spray, you must carefully check whether the ingredients in it contain a film-forming agent.

1. The size of the spray mist particles

Generally speaking, the finer the water mist, the better, so that the spray will be more even and gentle. It is recommended to try it at the counter before buying (if you buy larger particles, be sure to spray it from a distance).

2. Whether it contains acrylic acid (ester) / allyl methacrylate copolymer

Acrylates/allyl methacrylate copolymer is the main component of makeup setting spray, which has film-forming properties and can increase the durability of base makeup. However, some makeup setting sprays (such as Givenchy Hydra Setting Spray) do not contain this ingredient, and the makeup setting effect will be greatly reduced.

3. Does it contain mineral oil and isopropyl palmitate?

For oily skin and acne-prone skin, be sure to avoid these two ingredients. Mineral oil has poor air permeability and can easily clog pores. Isopropyl palmitate can easily cause acne. For people who already have acne, using products containing this ingredient will aggravate acne outbreaks.

4. Does it contain moisturizing ingredients?

If the makeup setting spray contains moisturizing ingredients (such as glycerin, provitamin B5, natural moisturizing factor NMF, hyaluronic acid, etc.), it can play a moisturizing role after being sprayed on the face, which is very friendly to dry skin. Moreover, if it contains moisturizing ingredients, it will have a certain makeup setting effect even if it does not contain acrylic acid (ester) / allyl methacrylate copolymer.
