Makeup Artist Trick #1: Setting Your Makeup

About 5 years ago I started doing the trick I'm about to share with you. It wasn't until a year ago that I learned that this has been a secret of stage actors for decades.
 
When you spend time and money to make yourself look your best you don't want all that effort sliding off your face. After you've completed your makeup and have applied a finishing powder (which also helps set your makeup) either pat a dampened cosmetic sponge lightly all over your face or use a spray bottle to gently mist some water onto your face (spray it sort of up into the air while facing upwards). This small amount of moisture is one extra - and free - step to ensure that your makeup stays where you put it longer. Not only does it help your makeup last but it also gives your skin a more natural, fresh and dewy look.
