REAL TECHNIQUES Real Techniques Sponge+ Makeup Setting Spray for Face, Mattify with Niacinamide

Product Information

Those who want glowy and radiant skin will likely fall head over heels for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dewy Set Setting Spray. It's alcohol-free, making it ideal for dry skin, and contains moisturizing glycerin and the soothing antioxidant portulaca oleracea extract. This setting spray goes on clear and is free of glitter and shimmer (despite what the bottle looks like), yet still delivers a naturally dewy finish. It does have a coconut-vanilla scent, which some people might love while others might find irritating. All skin types can benefit from the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray, but acne-prone or inflamed skin in particular will love this product. The formula utilizes hypochlorous acid (HOCl), an antimicrobial produced naturally by the skin, making it an excellent choice for combatting acne-causing bacteria. You can alternatively use it on clean skin in place of a toner, making it super versatile.

Like with all makeup products, look for specific ingredients that may benefit your unique skin type, according to Allison Kaye, a celebrity makeup artist. For dry skin, she suggests a setting spray with “aloe vera and a low alcohol content that won’t dry out the skin further." Oily skin types, on the other hand, “should go for a setting spray with lower water content and an oil-absorbing agent like charcoal.” You don't have permission to access "http://www.asos.com/real-techniques/real-techniques-glow-finish-extender-setting-spray/prd/200926783?" on this server.

If you’re looking for a new way to step up your look, you’re going to want to read about this blend extender…For sensitive skin, she advises looking for a smaller ingredient list, because “the more ingredients it has, the larger risk you run of your skin reacting to something.” Additionally, “large amounts of alcohol content in setting sprays may irritate sensitive skin.” I use the example of a raincoat when I talk about setting spray,” says Allison Kaye, a celebrity makeup artist. “If you were to have a droplet of water run down your face, the polymers in the setting spray will let that droplet run off your face, just as a raincoat would.” Take your makeup from day to night with the Real Techniques Satin Finish Blend Extender, a refreshing setting spray that helps to set and blend for long-lasting coverage.

This setting spray has no shortage of hydrating ingredients. It contains hemp-derived cannabis seed extract, hyaluronic acid, aloe, and niacinamide to hydrate the skin and load it up with antioxidant protection against free radicals. Another alcohol-free setting spray you need on your radar is the Avène Thermal Spring Water, especially if you have sensitive skin. While this product isn't technically a setting spray, you can apply it on top of or under makeup for a flawless finish. You’ll have to keep reapplying throughout the day to get the effects, but it won’t irritate your skin. For those unfamiliar with the brand, each of Avène’s products contains pure thermal spring water from the South of France that's excellent for soothing and refreshing the skin. The True Botanicals Renew Nutrient Face Mist is a skincare product first and a makeup setting spray second. Instead of using water as its base, this setting spray uses antioxidant-rich green and white tea to give the skin more nutrients. It also contains glycerin for moisture and algae extract to help protect and defend the skin from environmental aggressors while preventing water loss and boosting radiance. If you notice your makeup slipping throughout the day, you’ll appreciate one of the best bits that the Satin Finish Blend Extender has to offer: it’s compatible with all your existing makeup products. Alternatively, if you’re suffering with excess shine or uneven skin texture, you’ll love the mattifying formulation too.

While the primary function of setting spray is to extend the wear of your makeup, it can have other added benefits. Some setting sprays also include ingredients for extra hydration, sebum regulation, and SPF protection. Kaye also recommends using a setting spray to enhance your makeup look. “Setting sprays can be sprayed on a brush before you dip into glitter or shimmer eyeshadow products to help prevent fallout, and can give metallic and shimmer shadows more of a 'wet look,'" she explains. You should always clean your makeup brushes to reduce any product build-up.
