Best Setting Spray?

[tique41]

I've been having problems lately with my foundation being too cakey. I usually apply the Lumi foundation with a beauty blender then do a contour and highlight. I've been noticing that near my nose and mouth is where it really likes to cake up. I've heard that a setting spray could fix this problem. Is there a good, cheap spray? Or even an alternative to help this problem? Thanks! ️

(I've moved this to Recommendations.) Is it possible you've applied too much foundation or setting powder to those areas? That can cause cakiness. Foundation-wise, try applying a thin layer with your fingers, let it sit for a little while, and then apply another layer if you think you need more. Then let that sit for a little while and set it with a thin layer of powder. I can tell you a proper setting spray will not make the cakiness go away. It will seal it in.

Thanks for info! Will have to try thinner layers. ️

If for getting rid of the dry look, Avene Thermal Water. I've tried a few (right now I'm trying to finish up a generic from Super U in Mauritius, and Evian, Caudalie Beauty Elixir, LRP, Fix+) and I keep coming back to the Avene.

To actually make my face last if I'm going out after work or to a wedding or something, I use the VS one.

You can also try to exfoliate gently before putting on makeup. It helps to have a smooth canvas when applying makeup.

I have the same issue. I prime with a silicon base primer first which helps smooth the area. I like: L'Oreal Miracle Blur Moisturizer, MAC P&P Skin primer, or Monistat Anti-Chafing Cream.
