DIY Makeup Setting Spray


If you're looking for a refreshing makeup setting spray (not for oily skin),
 give this recipe (originally via my Mama!) a try:

Need:
  • Witch hazel
  • Filtered water
  • Spray bottle
Do:
  • Mix 1/2c Witch Hazel with 1/2c water in a spray bottle.
  • Shake and spray before or after applying makeup--not for oily skin because it doesn't prevent. Similar to UD Chill setting spray.
Try:
  • This keeps for a month or so, as long as you use filtered water.
  • Keep it in the fridge for a refreshing treat!

  5. Damn, I've got to try this. I have yet to find a setting spray that really works for me (usually I rely on a very light mist of hairspray)!
