The water mist particles are larger and are suitable for moisturizing care in the skin care steps before makeup. Using it after makeup may cause the skin to lose its effect. If the water mist particles are smaller, it can be used before or after makeup, which is the so-called setting spray. So makeup setting spray is a type of spray-type lotion. There are two uses for makeup setting spray: one is to set makeup, and the other is to touch up makeup. The method of using the setting spray is to keep a certain distance from the base after applying the foundation and spray the entire face with the spray.
