Setting spray: How to make make-up last all day long

Need to touch up your make-up? Now you can save yourself the trouble with a setting spray. Setting sprays make make-up particularly long-lasting and also provide the perfect finish. Find out what you need to know about setting sprays and which products work great in the blog.

We are talking about make-up mist, fixing sprays, setting sprays or simply face sprays. Many different names, but they all do the same thing. The spray makes the make-up more durable, regulates sebum production and fixes it transparently.

Many sprays combine make-up and powder when sprayed on, which conjures up an incredibly beautiful finish. However, the fact that the make-up layers melt together also makes the look more durable. That's why we simply call them setting sprays, no matter how they are applied.

Basically, a setting spray is suitable for all skin types. Since sprays are very much on the rise, there are more and more products that focus specifically on one skin type. So for dry skin there are already moisturising products, for oily skin, sebum-regulating and for sensitive skin there are also sprays with mild ingredients.

The setting spray is actually used as a make-up finish, but it is mandatory to use it before mascara - if it is not waterproof, it can run. The spray is applied to the entire face at a distance of 30 cm so that only a light mist reaches the face. Some sprays can also be applied under make-up, but I personally prefer to use a primer.

Probably the best-known setting spray is MAC Cosmetics Prep + Prime Fix+. The classic sets make-up and creates an even complexion in no time at all. In addition, the skin is also supplied with moisture and gains radiance.

The Clarins Complexion - Fix Make-up Spray contains aloe vera to moisturise the skin. The spray can also be used under make-up to soothe the skin. As a finish, it helps to bind the different layers and make the complexion even.

The Make-up Setting Spray Radiant Finish by NYX ensures a refreshed complexion and radiant make-up. The spray is enriched with a blend of ultra-fine micro-beads in gold and warm champagne tones.

Fixing sprays are not only a cosmetic tool, but also a confidence booster. They allow us to feel confident and secure throughout the day without having to constantly touch up. With the right choice, you can ensure that your makeup lasts all day and makes you glow.
