How does misting your face after foundation and loose powder help ';set'; your makeup?

It can help set your make up - powder includes ingredients such as talc and fine clays. I am not into going to give a chemistry lesson. Put simply, the properties of clays and talc will react with the misted water, just like if you add water to flour, and the clay particles stick to the skin and each other. As a result when the mixture dries on the skin it is a slightly changed product.





I'm not the only one who finds it works ....





鈥?Make-up artist Glauca Rossi, who now runs her own make-up school in London, sets foundation and powder by spritzing with mineral water. (If you don鈥檛 want to splash out


on a can of Evian spray, fill a plant mister with mineral water, instead.)





鈥?Manhattan make-up pro Fulvia Farolfi believes in fixing foundation with an Evian spray, too. She then blots cheeks and forehead with a tissue to absorb any excess moisture.





鈥?Your foundation disappears? Vanishing make-up can be the result of either very dry or very oily skin, according to New York make-up artist Lynne Geller. Dry skin is so thirsty for moisture that it literally soaks up cosmetics. To combat the problem, Geller recommends choosing make-up formulations with creamy textures. Misting your face regularly with an Evian spray or a plant mister can help, too. With oily skin, enlarged pores allow make-up to seep right into your skin. Excess oils can tamper with the texture, making it rub off easily every time you touch your face. Skip the moisturiser and look for an oil-free formula - or consider all-in-one make-up/powder formulations, which are less likely to be absorbed into the skin (see Make-Up on the Go, p.00).How does misting your face after foundation and loose powder help ';set'; your makeup?
I don't know too much about misting the face after foundation. But I use loose powder after applying foundation to give it more of a matte finish. If you use the right foundation, you don't need to do anything else to it to make sure that it stays on and looking good throughout the day.

I've never heard of doing that after makeup. Sounds like your makeups going to smear. Although misting you face before makeup will make you skin look fresh and awake because the cold water will tighten your pores.
its doesnt things that claim that are not true. a simple way to freshen makeup uis using BLOT papers clean and clear make good ones and then ppat some invisible mattifyer like BENEFIT DR. FEELGOOD or HARD CANdY BLOT its the purple powder that goes clear. then smooth som pressed powder where some more coverage is needed or to keep shine way longer.
