My FAVORITE budget friendly setting spray. When I say my makeup doesn’t move, it doesn’t move.

It doesn’t have a ton of range, but I use it to help contour and I use the white as a base for bolder eyeshadow looks if I’m not buying eyeshadow base

If you like bolder looks and you have a bit to spend on a primer, this is my favorite eyeshadow primer. Just make sure it dries, it can be tacky/sticky otherwise!
