Makeup stays put longer – thanks to a light-setting mist

Application instructions recommend holding the bottle at arm's length and spritzing a light layer over makeup, then allowing the formula to dry naturally. The fine mist is suitable for repeated, light layering.

Makeup looks fresher through the day with minimal transfer and reduced fading when applied as directed. A quick spritz refreshes skin without disturbing base products.

Versatile use for colour intensity – with brush-spritz technique

A small spray onto a makeup brush before picking up powder or cream pigments adds moisture to the tool and the product. The brand guidance explicitly recommends this method to intensify eyeshadow, liner, blush or lip colour.
