Brilio.net - Setting spray is often the mainstay at the end of a makeup routine to ensure that makeup lasts all day long. This product works like a protective layer that locks foundation, powder, and eyeshadow so that they don't fade easily even when exposed to sweat or oil. No wonder, many people rely on setting spray to keep their faces looking flawless, especially when attending important events or doing outdoor activities for a long time.
However, even though its function is designed to maintain the durability of makeup, improper use of setting spray can actually produce the opposite effect. Instead of making makeup stick perfectly, makeup can look cakey, break, or even fade faster if this product is not applied correctly. Factors such as spraying too close, excessive spraying , or skin conditions that are not properly prepared before makeup can affect the final result.
As a result, the makeup that should have been neatly locked instead shifted, faded, or clumped in certain areas. This shows that although setting spray plays an important role in maintaining the appearance of makeup, how to use it still needs to be considered so that the desired results are truly achieved.
Well, to maximize the function of setting spray, you can try a trick from Instagram user @trimaaar_. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted that using setting spray should not only be done at the end of makeup. There is a layering trick that is quite effective and often used by professional makeup artists, namely spraying setting spray in several stages when applying makeup. This technique helps the products used on the face stick better and not shift easily, even when the face is sweaty or oily.

As reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @trimaaar_ on Monday (2/6), the first step begins by spraying setting spray as a base, before makeup is applied. Its function is similar to a primer, helping to create a smoother skin surface that is ready to receive products. After spraying, let it dry completely so that the setting spray can form a thin protective layer on the skin. This stage will strengthen the adhesion of the complexion that will be used next.

Then after the base makeup such as foundation, concealer, and powder are applied, repeat by spraying the setting spray. This step serves to "lock" the complexion layer so that it does not fade easily and blends better with the skin. The spray at this stage also helps reduce the appearance of makeup that is too matte, so that the final result looks more natural and blends.

The last step is to spray the setting spray again after all the makeup is done, including after applying blush, contour, eyeshadow, and highlighter. This is the final locking stage that will keep the entire makeup in place for hours. Spray from a distance of about 20-30 cm so that the results spread evenly and do not leave wet spots on the face.
Compared to just spraying setting spray at the end of your makeup, this layered method is proven to be more effective in making your makeup stick perfectly and last longer. In addition, this technique can also help overcome makeup that cracks easily in certain areas, such as around the nose or chin. With proper and gradual application, your makeup will look more unified, long-lasting, and flawless all day long.
