Finding the perfect setting spray can be the key to making your makeup last all day (or night) without budging. Moira offers three distinct setting sprays tailored to different needs, each bringing unique benefits to your routine. 

Setting spray is one of those beauty essentials that can make a world of difference, especially if you want your makeup to look flawless all day long. But why exactly should you use setting spray, and how can you get the most out of it? Let’s dive into it, before we recommend which setting spray you should use according to your skin type.  

Why Should You Use Setting Spray?

• Prolongs Makeup Wear

   Setting spray helps lock in your makeup, allowing it to stay put for hours without fading, smudging, or settling into fine lines. It’s particularly useful for events, hot weather, or long days when touch-ups aren’t possible.

• Provides a Natural Finish

   Unlike face powders that can sometimes leave your face looking cakey or heavy, setting sprays offer a more natural finish. They can help blend powdery makeup layers, giving your skin a smoother, more seamless look.

• Controls Shine or Adds Hydration

   Depending on the type of setting spray you choose, it can either mattify oily areas or hydrate dry skin. This makes it versatile for different skin types and finishes, from matte to dewy.

• Protects Against Environmental Factors

   Setting sprays can act as a barrier between your skin and environmental pollutants or humidity, reducing the risk of makeup breakdown. This is especially beneficial for outdoor events or city living.

• Multipurpose Benefits

   Some setting sprays, like Moira’s Hydra Priming Setting Spray, double as a primer, making them versatile and convenient. They can prep and set your skin, giving your makeup a longer-lasting base.

 How to Use Setting Spray

• Finish Your Makeup Look

   Complete your entire makeup routine first, including foundation, blusher, and compact powder if you use it. The setting spray is typically the last step to lock everything in place.

• Hold at Arm’s Length

   Hold the bottle about 8-10 inches away from your face to ensure an even mist. This distance helps the spray disperse evenly without creating wet spots.

• Use an ‘X’ and ‘T’ Pattern

   Spritz the setting spray in an “X” motion, followed by a “T” motion. This technique ensures that you cover your whole face, focusing on areas where makeup tends to fade first, like your forehead, nose, and chin.

• Let it Dry Naturally

   Allow the setting spray to dry naturally for the best results. Avoid touching your face while it dries, as this can disturb the makeup underneath. If you're in a rush, gently pat your skin with a tissue instead of rubbing.

• Reapply for Extra Hold

   For days when you need ultra-long wear, you can apply an additional layer of setting spray after your makeup is fully dry. Just be sure not to overdo it, as too much can sometimes have the opposite effect and make makeup appear uneven.

Extra Tips for Optimal Results

- Combine with Primer: For maximum longevity, use a primer before makeup and finish with a setting spray. This combination helps create a smooth canvas and locks everything in.

- Refresh During the Day: Some setting sprays, like hydrating ones, can be reapplied throughout the day to freshen up your look and add moisture without disrupting makeup.

Using setting spray is an easy step that makes a huge difference in keeping your makeup looking beautiful and fresh. Whether you prefer a matte finish, a dewy glow, or something in between, Moira’s setting sprays offer a solution tailored to your needs, ensuring your makeup stays flawless all day!
