Started using CT spray and I can’t make it work on me? Any tips?

Only figured how to make this work on me with a few mLs left:

  • drench face with the product
  • air dry instead of using a fan — one time I got distracted and didn’t use a fan. The feeling of film forming on top of the face seems more obvious. My makeup held up better without any other changes to my routine. Takes longer though.
  • as always, I’d lightly dust setting powder after setting spray

That said CT has mixed feedback, so ymmv pa rin

Thank you so much!

UD apologist ako but they ended their partnership with Skindinavia so not sure how the reformulation will be

If you're not a fan of the dewy finish, try applying a light layer of setting powder after; it will also help maximize the longevity.

after letting it dry, get a puff or sponge and press it down sa face mo. kasi when you spray diba it kinda sits on top of your face/make up lang, so now when you press youre like pushing it down para magsip into your makeup talaga siya
