Set make up for the day with powders and sprays

On the market there are products that guarantee make up will last the whole day is through. Who are they kidding? No one, but to help make that make up or any type of makeup stay from dawn till dusk it must be set. Set in place with a powder or spray. There are countless options to help set make up in place and let you continue with your day. The more traditional option are the powders, which come pressed or loose. As for pressed powder, Physician’s Formula’s Mineral 3-in-1 Corrector + Primer + Powder ($15) will set make up while evening out tone. Even after make-up is applied there can be some patches of uneven tone that will be mediated by this powder. For a loose powder, It Cosmetic’s Bye Bye Pores ($24) is a light, translucent powder that leaves skin feeling silky smooth, especially when it is applied with the Heavenly Luxe Wand Ball Brush ($48). This ultra-plush brush allows for the loose powder to lightly dust the face. With both loose and pressed powders, they will both minimize shine so it can be applied throughout the day as well. Competing with powders to set makeup in its place are sprays. The Mineral Fusion Hydration Mist ($17) is a refreshing spray that is applied after makeup. It is all natural and sets foundation throughout the day. The Shea butter is ultra-moisturizing so it will not strip skin. As temperatures rise, which they will, the sprays and liquid setters become all that more appealing. ELF Lock & Seal ($3) is a lock and seal kit. The complete set comes with a small pot where the Lock & Seal is dropped into and then a brush is used to apply it. It is mixed with powder or cream make up for a different approach to setting make up. So add a setting powder or spray to your make up routine and fret not that your face will melt as the hours tick away. Stay looking like you did when you left for work in the morning, or lined up to get into the hottest bar or club at the start of the evening.
