The key to long-lasting makeup isn't just high-quality makeup products. So, why does makeup stay on for a long time? It happens because of setting spray and powder. But what is the debate between setting sprays and setting powders? Are they the same? No, these products are used for a variety of purposes.
Here are some insights about Setting Powder.
Setting powder comes in two formats: loose and pressed, and requires a brush or powder puff to apply.
Loose Powder provides finer, lighter coverage and is made with ingredients like talc and silica to absorb excess oil. Therefore, it is a great option for oil control and perfect for people with oily or combination skin, or those who wear liquid foundations.
1- A semi-solid pressed powder that is easy to use.
2- Setting Powder keeps the foundation in place and prevents color transfer.
3- Reduces shine and provides a long-lasting or semi-matte look.
4- Can be sheer or slightly shiny to maintain your skin's natural texture, or lightly pigmented to blend well with your skin tone.
5- Setting powder creates a smooth surface for perfect and effortless application of other products.
Overall, if you want a matte airbrushed finish, you should choose a setting powder. Suitable for normal or oily skin or if you have problems with wrinkles and cracks.
Setting spray can set makeup in one go with a fine spray mist, as opposed to setting powders that act on specific areas.
1- Setting Spray can be applied not only to the face but also to the entire skin after makeup.
2- Can be used as a pre-treatment for the entire face and décolleté, or over makeup.
3- Does not penetrate pores like powder and has a light finish that feels like bare skin.
4- Setting spray provides both a dewy and matte finish, depending on the product you choose.
5- Can also be used to emphasize highlights and apply wet eyeshadow.
1 - Choose setting powders that contain ingredients such as cornstarch, silica, and mica, as they are especially suitable for oily skin.
2 -Setting powder is different from finishing powder, which is typically used after setting powder to cover under-eye lines and pores and control shine.
3- Remember if you wear foundation or apply multiple dots of concealer, you should choose a setting powder over a setting spray.
4- Use a moisturizing spray for dry skin. These can lock in moisture and give it a softer, textured appearance.
5- Luminous setting spray, on the other hand, contains ultra-fine light-reflecting particles that brighten your face and make it look more radiant.
6- If you have oily skin, use a setting spray with ingredients like aloe vera, witch hazel, and rosewater to prevent excess sebum. You can also choose a matte mist. This provides a softer look without adding shine.
Apply setting powder in a small amount or all over the face. Here's how to use it:
1- Choose a soft, fluffy brush with a tapered tip or a small makeup puff. This ensures an even and targeted application.
2- Swirl the brush in the powder and tap the powder container to remove excess product. Apply by patting gently, especially in areas such as the sides of your nose, under your eyes, and T-zone, where excess oil accumulates.
How to use the Setting Spray for a flawless, long-lasting finish:
1- Hold the spray at least 35 cm from your face and avoid large droplets on your face.
2- Close your eyes and spray in the center of your face, then on your forehead.
3- Finally, apply two more sprays to the sides of the face, and to the chin and neck.
