IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better Setting Spray

IT Cosmetics is a brand I am really enjoying getting to know, from their CC Creme of which I have both the Matte and the Original version, to the product I am sharing on my blog today -  It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Setting Spray.

I am sure everyone reading this post will have tried a Makeup Setting Spray from one or two brands, for me, I am never without one and even though we have been on a Lockdown, there have been occasions, usually a Zoom or Teams meeting, where I have put my face on to look better than half dead... giving me the chance to try out products such as this one.

Described as being a "featherweight formula laced with replenishing hyaluronic acid to attract (and retain) plumping water, this fixing mist quenches cells’ thirst as it tops up their reservoirs – helping to counteract tightness while softening lines and creating a ‘shield’ between make up and all of the ravages wrought by the elements". 

It does all of this thanks to long-wear polymers which help to keep your base immaculate for up to 16 hours and even better, it also absorbs excess oil and is brimming with Coconut Water , Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera to calm and replenish.  The one thing I can say about this mist is that it does pack a punch, it is definitely one to be spritzed from a distance because whilst it doesn't wet your skin through, it does leave its mark and you can definitely feel it on the skin.

The Your Skin But Better Setting Spray can be used on bare skin to prep and prime, post make up application to set, or for an added treat, it can also be used throughout the day as a hydrating face mist. I love the scent of this mist as it comes into contact with my skin and whether I am wearing foundation, BB or CC cream, it doesn't effect your makeup at all, but it does help to keep it in its place, better than other Setting Sprays that I have used previously.

I love that this is a multi-functional Setting Spray and it is one which helps to keep your makeup up in place or refreshens, soothes and cools too.

Priced at £22 you can find this IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Setting Spray here*.
