On the off chance that you are a makeup lover, you know how troublesome summers can be. Sweat-soaked and the hot climate can cause your makeup to drain as well as give you a sleek feel. This is the place where makeup fixer sprays do their wizardry. Makeup fixers help in keeping your makeup intact and protect it from getting tacky. However, in case you don't wish to buy costly and synthetic ridden makeup fixers, then, given below are a few substitutes that can come in handy. These are easy to make setting sprays that enable you to get the ideal photo-finished look.
How To Make Makeup Setting Spray?
Aloe Setting Spray:
Aloe vera is said to be one of the most useful ingredients in both makeup and skincare. Not only is it a soothing agent but also a moisturiser thereby, helping in improving the overall texture of the skin. Additionally, aloe vera helps to keep the skin surface matte and de-oiled, holding your makeup in place throughout the day. Therefore, you can use the goodness of aloe in DIY makeup setting spray and here is how:
How To Make: Start by taking a cup of water into a mixing bowl. Now, add 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel, 4-5 drops of glycerin and lastly another 1-2 tablespoons of rosewater to add some fragrance. Mix this mixture well till everything is dissolved and then transfer it into a spray bottle for your daily usage.
Rosewater Setting Spray:
Every time you think your makeup looks weary or dull or in desperate need of revival, you should try some rosewater. Rosewater is extremely effective in hydrating your skin and keeping your makeup fresh and radiant. Additionally, if your makeup starts to look a little lacklustre halfway through the day, rosewater is a great addition as a midday pick me up.
How To Make: Start by taking ¼ cup of water and add ¼ cup of rosewater into it. Then to add an extra boost of hydration and ensure that your makeup gets set in place, mix a capsule of vitamin E to it. To add some decent fragrance to this, you can also include a couple of drops of your favourite essential oil and voila! Your DIY makeup fixer spray is ready.
Witch Hazel Setting Spray:
Although witch hazel may sound like an unknown ingredient to you, the truth is that it is extremely effective in helping you set makeup. It keeps the skin healthy and moist while still keeping the oiliness away from the skin. Perhaps the most important use of witch hazel is that it aids to tighten pores, soothe your skin and helps to reduce inflammation too. Thus, using it in a homemade makeup fixing spray is a good idea.
How To Make: Add ½ cup of witch hazel, ¼ cup of rosewater and a couple of drops of glycerin in a mixing bowl. Transfer it to a spray bottle and use it whenever you apply makeup.
Green Tea Setting Spray:
Packed with antioxidants, green tea is a great addition to your skincare. Like witch hazel, green tea also helps in tightening the pores of your skin and helps to give you a rejuvenating antioxidant treatment. Furthermore, green tea can also help to protect your skin against the harmful UV rays of the sun.
How To Make: Brew 1 cup of green tea and let it cool. Add this green tea to a mixing bowl and add 1-2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and one capsule of vitamin E to the mix. After that, add this into a spray bottle and use this DIY makeup fixing spray when ready.
So, if you are looking for a creative experiment to do at home and create a makeup product you can use daily, try these homemade makeup setting sprays and do let us know which one amongst these is your favourite.
