Lock It In

Eventually, cinch in your look with a feather-light-setting spray. That’s right, a setting grease paint alone isn’t enough — but together, a setting grease paint and setting spray brace can work prodigies to avoid any melting, fading, settling into fine lines, or transferring. This last and final step creates a strong but flexible, permeable film across the skin to keep makeup in place for hours on end.

Pro-tip Look for a featherlight, leakproof formula that really won’t budge.
