My make-up only lasted the most 6 hours!,
I have been using setting sprays for about a year maybe longer. And everyone I have used has a smell to it! Not a pleasant smell either. Its bad enough the makeup we use has its own weird smells. Not all but a lot of makeup does have a smell! And then to spray your face & nearly choke because the smell is awful. I had to throw my last one because it smelled so bad & the smell didn't leave after it dried.
I then decided to give this Art Naturals make-up setting spray a try. And the first time I used it I sprayed it on a small area of my face, to make sure I didn't break out. After about an hour I decided to wash my face & put on some basic makeup. I wanted to see how long it would hold my basic make-up before applying a full on face. Basic make-up to me is foundation, translucent powder, eyeliner on my water line & mascara. After doing my makeup I sprayed my face in the shape of an X and a T then sprayed my chin. I do it this way to make sure I get every area of my face! I went outside & did my normal routine of watering the flowers, checking the mail, and reading a book on my porch. And I noticed my nose was pretty moist. I continued to read no wiping my face or anything. I then ran a few errands & came home. When I got home I went to check to see if my makeup was still in tact. When I looked in the mirror I was so upset because my eyeliner was running and my cheeks had streaks going down them. I couldn't believe it! Because when I applied the setting spray it dried matte instantly. And my face felt refreshed! And I was in public looking like this, I thought maybe I did something wrong. So the next day I decided to do a full face. Foundation, Transulcent Powder, eye shadow, eyeliner top of eyelid & water line, drew on my eye brows & blush plus added some highlighting to my cheek bones etc. I then sprayed the setting spray in an X, T & circle. Plus a couple more sprays. Thought maybe I didn't spray enough the day before. I went about my normal day but I decided to stay in the house for a couple hours then attempt to water my flowers & then go do my grocery shopping. About 3 hours in I decided I needed to get what I needed to get done, done! I was gone for about 2 hours. When I got in my car & looked in the mirror my eye liner was on the crease of my top eyelid in the corner of my eye. I had mascara marks(not bad but noticable). I was confused because I sprayed a ton on this time! Gave it awhile to set even though my face was dry & my house is cold. Because I have a central air! I am not sure if it works for some & not others or what. All setting sprays I have used worked cheap & high end ones. I used this setting spray for a couple weeks with the same results.
The only pros this setting spray has is it has no smell, I didn't break out & it does dry matte. When spending so much time doing your make-up just to have it melt off in a couple hours is frustrating. Especially when you have to work or have errands to run. Going out with your friends or partner! That is why I am giving it 2 stars. Because it did hold for a couple hours (4-6 hours) each time. And it doesn't have a smell & dries matte instantly! Just because its not for me doesn't mean it might not be for you! It just didn't work for me. I can't say I recommend it because it didn't work the way it states it should. Its supposed to set your makeup for up to 16 hours but didn't last that long for me. Maybe if I was in air conditioning all day it would. But its not ideal to be able to just sit in a cool environment when you have stuff to get done.
