Skindinavia Moisture Lock Makeup Finishing Spray

Skindinavia Moisture Lock Makeup Finishing Spray

Skindinavia Make-Up Finishing SprayI love makeup. I love that I can create beauty, enhance the good parts and hide the flaws. One thing is for sure, I dislike having to reapply makeup through the day so I look for products that can hold up to a long day, weather and general wear and tear on my face. Today I get to bring to you a new makeup finishing spray made for me! Okay, it really isn’t just for me, but it could be!

SKINDINAVIA’s Moisture Lock Makeup Finish is an ultrafine makeup setting spray for dry skin types. SKINDINAVIA’s is the the Original Makeup Setting Spray and we have featured them here on our blog before. Their product is top notch and has been used used during the 2011 Lady Gaga and Britney Spears tours – so you know it works!

I was sent a bottle of their Makeup Finishing Spray and I am so glad it came. I love this product. These setting sprays are your NEW SETTING POWDER! If you want glowy, luminous skin, you won’t want to top it off with cakey powders. You’re looking for fresh skin to show through, but you still want to “set” your sheer layers of foundation and cream blushes. This is the product you want!

All you do is shake and spray after your makeup is on, but before your mascara is applied. The spray is an ultra fine mist, so it drys immediately and you don’t even know it. This will hold your makeup for up to 16 hours! I hate using a finishing powder that you use a brush with. It never seems to get all over my face and when I use it, I feel like it has just added another layer of makeup on my face. I think it changes that color of my foundation too. The spray is soooo much easier and it works better in my opinion

Check out these features and benefits:
• Holds makeup perfectly over dry skin.
• Creates a luminous and dewy finish.
• Keeps makeup surface smooth.
• Stops cracking, creasing, and makeup caking.
• A great replacement to powder.
• Translucent and weightless.
• Hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, and oil free.

I love that it comes in 3 different sizes! One for your purse or travel, one for daily use and one large size so you can save some money!
