What is fixation setting spray?

Okay, so what is setting spray, anyway? You know, that stuff everyone’s raving about? It’s basically magic in a bottle, or at least that’s how it feels sometimes. Officially, it’s called fixation setting spray, or makeup setting spray – fancy, huh? It’s this stuff you spritz on after you’ve done your whole face, and – I swear – it makes your makeup last forever.

I remember once, I was going to a wedding, right? Spent ages doing my makeup, perfect winged liner and everything. Usually, by the time I’d danced even one song, my mascara would be smudged and my foundation would be…well, gone. But I used a setting spray that day – a friend recommended it, honestly, I was skeptical – and my makeup was still looking amazing hours later! Even after a few happy tears during the speeches! Who needs waterproof mascara when you’ve got setting spray?

Apparently, it works because of the alcohol and sometimes this thing called dimethicone. They create like, a little invisible film over your face, holding everything in place. It’s not a suffocating film, don’t worry. I’ve used some that felt a bit heavy, but most are pretty light, almost like a refreshing mist. Though, I did once try one that made my skin feel a bit dry afterwards… lesson learned.

So yeah, setting spray. It’s a lifesaver, or at least a makeup-saver. Worth checking out, especially if you, like me, struggle to keep your makeup looking decent for more than an hour or two. You might even wonder how you ever lived without it!
