Elf Set And Mist Review

Hello Beautys..


Today ive decided to do a review on the elf set & mist also knows as a dupe of the mac studio fix+. Not long ago i recieved the spray, id been waiting for it for so long and it finally arrived. For just £3.95 for 2.02oz  I think its a absolute bargain.




The Website Says-

Wish you could have a product for your makeup like Hairspray is for your hair? Well…keep your makeup staying in place all day with a radiance boosting invisible hold with our new Makeup Mist & Set. The invigorating mist moisturizes and soothes the skin with key ingredients Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E. The lightweight, comfortable and alcohol free formula improves makeup wearability and prevents color from running or fading.
  • Spray on after makeup application to set makeup in place or during the day for a quick touchup to refresh.
  • After you have applied your makeup spray a light mist 12-16 inches from your face with eyes closed to set your makeup in place or use for a quick touchup throughout the day to refresh your makeup.
  • Let it dry naturally or blot with a tissue to help speed dry.



Ingredients-

Water (Aqua), AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Propylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice, Green Tea (Camelia Sinensis) Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vc), Tocophryl Acetate (Ve) Retinyl Acytate (Va), Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben.


 I will point out that the ingredients are very very similar to the ingredients in mac studio fix+ However im not too sure about all the parabens, but thats soon made up knowing its animal cruelty free always a bonus.


Packaging-


In a dark almost black bottle with a spray lid. Im not to sure on the way it dispensis the spray sometimes it abit uneven but i know many people got around this problem by just pouring it into there empty mac studio fix+ bottle and they say it works better. I also heard that the smell is not to some people taste but i feel that i cant really smell much and it quickly drys anyway so the smell just disapears.


Best ways to use the spray with foundation and powders-


I usually apply my primer, foundation(no7 beautifully matte), concealer,powder and then i use the spray. Make sure before you use the spray hold it far away or your face just gets too wet. Yet still spray liberaly all over your face, mostly in your t-zone if its oily as this is were the makeup is most likely to wear off. I can find sometimes my face looks a little dull and boring so just spritzing this will give me more of a glowy look. Also it can be used on hot summer days just for a little cool and refresh.





Best way to use e.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set with eyeshadow-

My favourite way to use e.l.f makeup mist and set is to dampen a eyeshadow brush with the mist then dip your eye shadow brush in any eye shadow loose pigments, baked eyeshadows, mineralized eyeshadows or really glittery eyeshadow. Then pat the eye shadow across my eyelid. This gived a more vibrant longer lasting eye shadow giving the look of a foiled eye shadow.
