A long day at the office, a night out, or just a busy Saturday running errands: your makeup needs to last. But halfway through the day you catch yourself in the mirror - foundation patchy, highlighter gone. Sound familiar? A face mist might just be your new best friend.
What is a face mist and why do you need one?
A face mist is a fine spray you mist over your face - before, during, or after applying makeup. The concept is simple: the spray hydrates your skin and helps set your makeup. But not all face mists are equal. The best choice for sensitive skin? Thermal water sprays from pharmacy brands.
