New to the makeup world and I need help🤦🏾‍♀️

So Im 48 and just starting to embrace makeup. I ordered the IL MAKIAGE and I think I like it but question. What is a good setting spray? Will it stop the makeup from getting on my clothes? Please help me my lemon8🍋 friends🤷🏽‍♀️

Entering the makeup world can feel overwhelming, but it's an exciting journey of self-expression. As you’re exploring products like IL MAKIAGE, it’s essential to find a setting spray that meets your needs. A good setting spray not only locks in your makeup but also provides a barrier against smudging onto your clothes. Popular options such as Urban Decay All Nighter, Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1, and NYX Matte Setting Spray are fantastic choices for different skin types and preferences. When looking for a setting spray, consider your skin type: oily, dry, or combination. For oily skin, opt for mattifying sprays that help control shine throughout the day. For dry skin, hydrating sprays will enhance your glow and keep skin moisturized. Also, reviews and recommendations from beauty communities can guide you in making an informed choice. Don't hesitate to reach out to beauty forums or social media platforms to ask for advice or tips. You’ll find a supportive community ready to help! Remember, makeup is about feeling confident and having fun, so embrace your unique style and have fun experimenting with different looks.

In my experience setting spray does not do a whole lot for makeup transfer onto clothes and such, but I have found ways to work around it 1. If wearing a turtle neck don’t wear foundation on the neck area 2. Focus on color correction instead of foundation this uses less product and less foundation which means less..(1)
