This genius hack for making your makeup last all day is a game-changer
We’re constantly led to believe by beauty gurus and YouTubers that the only way to keep our makeup intact all day is through super expensive setting sprays.
However, makeup artist-to-the-stars, Susan Heydt, says that the key may actually lie with an appliance that most of us already own. A hairdryer.
Speaking to Women’s Health magazine, she said that the basic hair tool is a great and cost-effective method of keeping that foundation in place. However, the heat setting needs to be low (for obvious reasons).
“Although using a blow dryer to heat up eyelash curlers and dry off skin works well, you’ll need to use a very low heat setting and have good environmental humidity to avoid causing skin damage,” she said.

“Youthful skin would definitely be a prerequisite for this type of setting process, as not many women with mature skin would want to dry out their face any further.”
This technique is similar to ‘baking’, only faster. If you don’t have a hairdryer then an electric fan will work just as well but might take a bit longer.
Although this sounds like it could be a handy tactic for the week before payday when funds are running low, we’ll probably stick to the setting spray to avoid any red-face related accidents.
