So you have the perfect wedding makeup application, and all you need is one last thing… a professional finishing spray? There are schools of thought that go back and forth on this matter, whether or not a pro finishing spray will do a great job for your makeup, so I’m going to give you some insider information, from my San Antonio bridal makeup experience.
First, there is a home remedy method where you can directly spray hairspray onto your face, with your eyes closed, of course, to set your makeup all day long. Perfect for wedding makeup! You may want to try this out before the big day to see how your skin responds to a spritz of hairspray, but it pretty much is foolproof.
Otherwise, you can definitely buy more professional makeup finishing sprays from places like Ulta or Skindinavia. Skindinavia has a great wedding makeup finishing spray option that is moisture resistant, so that is perfect if you are crying or sweating on your big day. Ulta has the Sue Devitt Microquatic Luminous Finishing Mist, which actually has anti aging ingredients and botanicals to keep your skin moisturized, as well as set your make up for the whole day.
So what is the best choice for you on your wedding day? It may be a great idea to use a makeup finishing spray to have a flawless final product, but keep in mind that a high quality makeup application should last you the whole evening long when done professionally!
