Hey, guys! Welcome back to Talk Fabulous!
A few years ago, setting spray could only be found from high-end brands. Since then, though, the drugstore has fully embraced the setting spray. I’m not going to lie, I always have one in my makeup stash and I use it almost every day. It’s more for mentality sake. I’m not really sure it’s actually doing anything. I’ve tried the setting sprays from Wet n Wild, e.l.f., and Physicians Formula. I liked all these but went through them so fast. I decided to hit Pinterest to see if I could find a DIY option.
Lo and behold, there were some DIY recipes for setting spray. After a reading a few, I settled on this one.
For my version, I used 1 part glycerin, 2 parts witch hazel, 3 parts distilled water (spoiler alert, I just microwaved some water to sterilize it), and a few drops of rosehip oil. I mixed all the ingredients into my empty Physicians Formula setting spray bottle. The sprayer on that bottle is awesome! It dispenses a perfectly fine mist, which is essential for a flawless application.

My DIY version was accidentally put to the test a couple weeks ago. My makeup routine goes something like this: foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, blush, highlight, eyeshadow, setting spray, brows, and mascara. I tend to get pretty messy when applying eyeshadow, so the need to brush off the fallout is almost always necessary. Welp, this fateful day I forgot to do that and sprayed the setting spray. Oops! Let me tell you what, that eyeshadow fallout Would.Not.Budge. No joke. It wasn’t going anywhere. That’s when I decided, this DIY setting spray IS doing something good for my makeup look. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Do you use setting sprays? What’s your favorite?
Thanks for stopping by! See you guys in my next post!
