Setting spray was meant to be used after applying makeup to hold it in place for longer without melting or smudging. However, makeup is truly like painting for adults. It’s all about finding creative ways to use different products. One product can have multiple uses that you’re probably not aware of. Additionally, flawless makeup looks usually involve crazy makeup hacks. Here are some ways to use setting spray that beauty gurus swear by.
