Tips and Precautions:

To make your makeup lasts longer, you have to apply foundation or primer first and then apply your makeup.
For best results, use a little of 2 oz. fine mist spray bottles rather than large one, as the water gets spoiled if stored for longer time. So, prefer small amounts and make a fresh batch regularly.
Also, use vegetable glycerin, if you don’t have normal one for keeping your make lasts longer.
Never ever hold the spray bottle too close to the face. You have to spray lightly on the face from an arm’s length away, or else your face will become wet and thus damages your makeup settings.
Vegetable glycerin (or glycerin) can be hypo – allergenic to some people. So, do a skin patch test before applying to know whether it is allergic to you or not.
Always remember that let your face air dries completely after spraying the makeup finishing spray. Avoid over spraying on the skin and you have to spray lightly on your face.
