Full confession: I have oily skin that rivals that of the average teenager's. To get my makeup to last more than an hour, I have tried everything from mattifying toners and primers to powders and blotting papers ? and some combination thereof. So when presented with a spray that promises to keep makeup looking good for over 16 hours, I was a little skeptical. It turns out that Skindinavia Moisture Lock Makeup Finish actually works ? and it also helps avoid the caked on makeup look and dry skin for those without an oily complexion.
Apparently Skindinavia is the product that pop stars like Lady Gaga and Britney Spears relied on to keep their makeup fresh throughout their 2011 tours. A few sprays (in an X and T formation) sets makeup better than any other product I've tried. It also doesn't have an odor or stain clothes, which is important when you're dressed to kill. It's also a lot more convenient than trying to fit powders and blotting papers into a tiny evening bag the size of a cell phone.
Temperature Control Technology® is in every spray formula, which helps keep makeup from doing everything it shouldn't do, like caking, melting, creasing or drying out. For the fine print: Skindinavia products promise to be oil and paraben free, aren't tested on animals, are safe for sensitive skin and manufactured in the USA in an FDA-approved factory.
