With warm weather comes sweat and sweat leads to makeup slide-off. The best way to keep
your gorgeous look in place (beside primer), is to grab a setting spray or powder. The right
choice for you is truly dependent upon your skin type. Let's break it down by skin type. Setting
your makeup can add a good four hours of life to your daily makeup. I find myself able to skip
touch ups at work and make it through those outdoor parties without turning into an oil slick
when I set my makeup properly. - Written By Korena Knippenberg of Korena K Beauty
DRY SKIN PROTOCOL:
I recommend avoiding powders as your skin
may not respond well to the drying nature of
the product. Same goes for a face with
deeper lines and creases. This product can
unfortunately bring more attention to those
areas.
Go with a Setting Spray. If you are extra dry,
go for a product that adds back moisture.
Worth the Splurge - Urban Decay Chill
(Cooling & Hydrating) will not only set your
makeup but give you a slightly dewey finish
which is beautiful for late spring / early
summer weather!
Skip the Cost - e.l.f Setting Spray can be
found at your local drugstore. It is a great
starter setting spray for those new to the
game.
COMBO or OILY SKIN PROTOCOL
You have the option of using powder or spray. If you are a
combo skin type. Avoid using powder on the dry areas.
Urban Decay All Nighter Spray is a great for combo skin.
Urban Decay De-Slick is THE choice for oily skin and helps to
control oil and prevent that greasy face appearance.
Ben Nye Translucent Setting Powder. This is a celebrity
makeup artist favorite for good reason. There is no flashback
in photos from this product and it truly sets clear. The most
popular choice is the ‘Banana’ shade.
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder. Avoid using a
heavy amount of this product if you plan on being
photographed. If a flash is used, a reflective flashback can
cause the applied product areas to become very obvious.
If using spray, save your mascara until AFTER you spray.
Often the oils from the product can weigh down those
gorgeous lashes.
