DIY Makeup Setting Spray Without Glycerin
This natural DIY setting spray is made without glycerin for a matte, non-greasy finish that's ideal for oily skin types. Thanks to a unique combination of ingredients, it creates a water-resistant film that keeps your makeup from melting, even during the summer.
Servings: 1 setting spray
Cost: $4
Equipment
- Fine mist spray bottle
Ingredients
- 2 oz neroli water or distilled water or rosewater
- 2 oz vodka or high-proof grain alcohol (such as Everclear)
- 1/2 tsp aloe vera juice 200x powder
- 1/2 tsp Leucidal Liquid SF
- 1/4 tsp propanediol
Instructions
- Before you begin, please ensure your spray bottle and measuring tools are clean and thoroughly sanitized.
- Combine neroli water (or distilled water), vodka, and propanediol in a glass beaker or another measuring container. (You can also mix your ingredients directly into your spray bottle, but a beaker provides more surface area for the aloe powder.)
- Slowly sprinkle the aloe vera powder into the bottle, a small pinch at a time. (If you add too much at once, it will clump.) Stir as you go (or shake the bottle) after each pinch of aloe until it's dissolved. Repeat until all of the powder is combined.
- Add Leucidal Liquid SF and shake to combine. Your glycerin-free setting spray is finished and ready to set your makeup.
Notes
Please note that the preservative is not optional. Unless you intend to keep this DIY setting spray in the fridge, you must preserve it to prevent dangerous bacterial growth. If preserved, it can be kept at room temperature.
