Spoiler alert: it was very wet.
When I say it didn't easily dry, I mean it. My face was DRIPPING wet. I first tried using my hand in a fanning motion, but when that failed, I resorted to gently patting away the excess with a tissue paper which seemed to work.
Even though I got compliments on how my skin looked when I walked into the office, I was already feeling the oiliness a couple hours later, which was a shame!
It was also very humid on the day I tested the product which definitely contributed to the general ugh feeling, if you get what I mean.
This could be due to a few reasons:
- The proportions of my mixture were off.
- The spray bottle I used didn't disperse the spray well enough resulting in a wet product that didn't really "set" my makeup.
- This is one of these Pinterest recipes that seems great but don't end up working.
I'm more leaning towards the second and third reason. I don't think the nozzle on the spray bottle I used dispersed an even enough mist that you get with regular setting sprays. Aloe vera gel was also a tricky ingredient to work with – it's thick and heavy, which probably didn't make it the best ingredient for a setting spray.
