The last thing you want after applying your makeup is to have it smudge, slide or melt off your face after a few hours. A good makeup setting spray is often the unsung hero in your makeup routine and an essential step to lock in your look from morning to night.
With just three natural ingredients at home, you can create and customize your own homemade makeup setting spray with essential oils.
Infuse your homemade makeup setting spray with drops of Frankincense essential oil for normal skin. If you tend to get oily, Geranium or Tea Tree essential oils are your BFFs. Myrrh essential oil is regarded highly for its moisturizing properties and is a hydrating choice for dry skin.
Whatever your skin type, this customizable, natural DIY recipe infuses the natural power of skin-loving essential oils to give you a beautiful, long-lasting makeup look that stays put.
Ingredients
- 60 ml water

How long will this last if left in the bathroom? Thank you very much! Can’t wait to try this recepie!
I really do love this makeup setting spray! It makes my makeup last during the day versus not having one on at all. When I don’t use one it only lasts about 1/2 a day. This is also super cost effective! We also use a very similar concoction for our hair detangling spray.
can you use this to spray on brushes to apply the foundation also?
