Can a sparkling water mist keep your makeup in place all day?

The hackUse sparkling water instead of a setting spray to keep your makeup from sliding.

The testIt's probably one of the most Ronseal-beauty hacks I've heard of, and if it works I'll be both impressed and surprised. Water can dry out skin by washing away surface oils, but I'll try to keep an open mind.

The method: Take a sparkling water of your choice, decant it into a spray bottle, and after you finish putting on your makeup, mist your skin with said water. " data-spacefinder-type="model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement" class="dcr-11ra563"/>

I did exactly that, and after vaporizing myself, I noticed that my skin felt tighter and drier, but it didn't affect the longevity of my makeup in any way. I wondered if I had done something wrong, so I gave it another chance and really went to town on the misting, but the same results prevailed.

Maybe this might work for oilier skin types, to dry out the skin a bit and keep makeup in place longer (oil can make makeup slip during the day), but my skin kinda dry didn't feel it at all.

The verdictA may be for oily skin, but for combination or dry skin, a hydrating setting spray is a better option. For ultimate makeup longevity, a primer is your best friend.
