How To Use Setting Spray: More FAQs

What’s the right way to apply setting spray?
Before you apply setting spray, you need to SHAKE IT TO WAKE IT! Shaking your setting spray bottle activates the formula and will boost performance. Once shaken, hold your setting spray 6-8 inches away from your face and mist on evenly. Let your face air dry or use a handheld fan to speed up the process.
Do I use setting spray before or after makeup?
You can use setting spray before or after makeup as well as between makeup steps to prime, set and blur the look of your complexion. I recommend applying setting spray in light layers to get the full AIRbrush Effect!
How many layers of setting spray should I apply?
Setting spray can be applied in multiple layers – I like to use setting spray to prime before makeup then again to set makeup into place. You can also apply setting spray between makeup steps such as after foundation, after pressed powder, and after powder bronzer and blush. The secret to flawless layering is not over-applying your setting spray all in one go; instead apply one light layer at a time and build as needed for a perfectly primed and set complexion.
How should I use setting spray for oily skin?
Oily skin types that are prone to producing excess oil can be prone to makeup creasing, fading and becoming shiny throughout the day. People with oily skin can benefit from setting spray as it helps to lock makeup into place and can mitigate some of the slipping and sliding that comes with having oily skin. If you have oily skin, darlings, I recommend setting your makeup with my AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray Matte – the Dual-Action Oil + Shine Control Complex helps to control the appearance of oil and remove unwanted shine, giving skin a soft-matte finish that makes skin appear less oily.
