With the enduring and profound impact of COVID-19 in our lives, face masks have become an essential object of our everyday life. The makeup industry has managed to navigate through these challenging times, but one particular product category showed growing interests from customers and consistent demand from brands: makeup fixing and setting sprays.

Setting sprays prevent makeup transfer on face masks

Makeup fixing or setting sprays are not new on the beauty market but they make a difference in these unprecedented times. These lightweight mists or sprays will set makeup in place and extend its wear, prevent smudging and meltdown and will keep your makeup looking fresh all day long. Some formulas may also control shine and oil while others may offer soothing hydration benefits.

With the pandemic, transfer-proof techniques and long-lasting makeup products are now booming on social media and the final step of the makeup routine is a quick spritz of setting spray to keep makeup from running and smudging, especially around the mouth and nose area that are covered and protected by face masks. Indeed, the heat and humidity caused by their wear – combined with sweat, sebum and moisture – are likely to fade or smudge foundation or lipstick, but that should not be the reason why you could not enjoy a full face makeup. You can also discover our foundation dispensing systems.
