Here is your cheat sheet for the next time you’re getting ready. Wash your face, put on your primer, apply your foundation and concealer, add your color (blush, eyeshadow, etc.), dust your powder, and then—only then—grab your setting spray. Hold it far away, spray in an X and then a T shape, and let it dry naturally.
You don’t need to fan your face like you’re in a movie. Just wait ten seconds. Then, look in the mirror and give yourself a little wink. You did it right. Your makeup is locked, loaded, and ready to take on whatever your day throws at it—even if that happens to be a surprise rain shower or a very emotional reunion with your coffee cup.
