Just as important as the beginning stepscompleting your look with these finishing touches will bring any look to life. 

While we’ve already announced the newest addition to our range of professional-standard makeup products, there a few final steps that deserve a little extra attention before you get on with your day. If you’re a firm believer in the baking method used to control shineour Hydra Setting Spray covers all these bases without adding any extra time to your routine. 

Another bonus? Our NEW setting spray is quick-drying, non-sticky and ultra hydrating so even if you’re not doing a full glam look, this spray feels like a true treat for your skin.  

Below, find our top products for completing any makeup look whether you’re going for a barely-there vibe or a full-face approach. These finishing touches will help you glow, set and lock in all of your hard work – no matter what the day has in store.  

HIGHLIGHTER 

Whether you’re a liquid, cream or powder highlighter fan, this finishing touch is crucial for anyone looking to create a radiant complexion. While you can mix highlighter with foundation or apply before you start building your base, for a statement glow and a healthy radiance, we suggest applying highlighter once the rest of your makeup has been completed. For your final highlight application, use a Fan Brush and apply all over or, for a more targeted look, use a Blender Brush and apply highlighter to the high points of the face for a strobe-like glow. Looking for dewy makeup inspiration?

PRESSED POWDER 

Our finely-milled pressed powder is soft and silky to the touch, setting makeup in place and mattifying key areas. Creating a velvet-smooth and shine-free finish, this powder will reduce the number of touch-ups you do throughout the day. Use our Pressed Powder to set areas of makeup that typically smudge or are prone to shine. We recommend focusing your powder application to the T-zone and under eye areas. Prefer Loose Powder? Worry not, we’ve got you covered.

HYDRA SETTING SPRAY 

You might be wondering: what’s the difference between a setting spray and powder? Powder is typically used to set your complexion makeup such as foundation and concealer, while setting spray is used to set and protect your entire look - the true final stepA lightweight mist, our Hydra Setting Spray locks in makeup for a flawless skin with a dewy finish – even in extreme temperatures. What may be considered a 2021 problem, our Hydra Setting Spray also prevents makeup transfer onto fabrics such as face coverings and masks. The best part? This fast-drying formula is infused with pea peptides rich in amino acids to ensure your skin feels refreshed and moisturised. Ultra hydrating, this spray gives a flawless, dewy makeup finish - and we won’t judge if you find yourself spritzing throughout the day to refresh your look or give skin a bit of a boost.
