Brilio.net - One of the secrets behind long-lasting and flawless makeup all day long usually lies in skinprep, aka skin preparation before makeup. Although trivial, it is considered an important foundation so that makeup sticks well and does not fade easily. With moist, smooth, and ready skin, makeup can "blend" perfectly and look more natural.
Now, many beauty enthusiasts to professional makeup artists are starting to apply the layered skinprep technique. Starting from toner, essence, serum, to moisturizer and primer. All are used according to skin needs to create an ideal facial surface. Each layer functions to balance moisture, soothe the skin, and control oil, so that makeup does not shift easily or cakey.
But besides using a skinprep layer, there are actually other ways that can be used to make makeup stick better. The technique shared by MUA named Mei Su tends to be more practical because you don't need to use a lot of products. Reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @beautyby.meiisu on Tuesday (4/15), there is only one product that is the key to this technique, namely setting spray.

Well, instead of being sprayed directly onto the face, this setting spray is actually used in the foundation mixing mixture. To be more precise, prepare a mixing palette and pour the foundation you want to use. You can mix several foundation products to produce the desired color.

Once ready to use, then spray the setting spray onto the foundation mixture. Without stirring again, apply the foundation directly to the face evenly. You can use a brush first to smooth the foundation, then tap with a sponge to make it stick better.
"It's used to lock. It helps my complexion set quickly. So I don't have to wait long to continue to the next process," said Instagram user @beautyby.meiisu.

Setting sprays typically contain ingredients that help to "lock" makeup in place after you've applied it. When mixed directly into foundation, they act like a light adhesive that helps the product adhere to your skin more quickly and blend more seamlessly.
This technique also helps reduce the risk of makeup sliding or "slipping" when exposed to sweat or excess oil. Setting spray mixed into the foundation creates a thin but strong layer that is more resistant to humid and hot conditions. As a result, makeup is more stable throughout the day, even without the need for too many touch-ups. This is especially useful for long events or when the weather is not friendly.
In addition, mixing setting spray can make the texture of the foundation lighter and easier to spread, so that the final result looks smoother and more natural. It also minimizes the cakey or thick appearance that sometimes appears when foundation is used alone. So, this trick not only makes makeup last, but also makes the overall appearance fresher and more comfortable to wear all day.
