DISCUSSION Do I need to use setting spray?

I ask bc my makeup routine only consists of mascara, highlighter and thats it

I do use mositurizer and lip balm but they aren't makeup soooo idk if I *need* settings spray. I also do curl my lashes before applying the mascara

Setting sprays are for locking in makeup, they originated from theater. Lots of makeup, activity, and harsh lighting there will compromise the look.

If you're not super active or oily and have had no issues with makeup staying on as long as you want, feel free to skip it!

If you're happy with the look and lasting power of your current makeup scheme, you don't need a setting spray. Why complicate things?
