What is the difference between Makeup Setting Spray vs Fixing Spray? | Do you need both?

[@SweetPeaMama]

I had no idea there was a difference… and now I do!! Thank you Gabi, you are the best!!

[@goodusername5753]

New subscriber! I watched a few of your hair tutorials and your tips and tricks have changed my life! I have started styling my hair according to your guidance and within the last 2 weeks have received more compliments on my hair than I have received in my entire life! (and I'm in my 50's, by the way) I really appreciate all that you share and I have (and will continue) to really enjoy your amazing content. Thank you for all you do, GGG!! You truly do make a difference in the lives of others. I feel great about myself now for the first time in a LONG time!

I use my setting spray to set my under eye makeup. I spray it onto my hand and use my ring finger to pat it gently. My concealer doesn't settle into my fine lines and it doesn't move. I never use powdered products on my face. I use Urban Decay All nighter. I also work 12 hours outside in Florida. Makeup stays just as fresh as the end of my shift as it did at the start of it.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I love this trick!

[@sarathatcher3349]

Thank you so much. I don’t know much about make up and I am trying to learn more and find new things to try.

[@cheryltanaka5885]

Thank you, Gabi! Thinking of going with a cocktail. Would love the hydration and melting, but could use some fixing too.

[@annettegenova9188]

I am sooo glad I found your channel. I've learned so much, the quality of your videos is great, and you have a genuine kindness. And wow, your skin and face are so pretty! Keep up the good work.

I'm glad you mentioned my favorite L'Oreal Infallible 3 Second, I do well with it! Thank you 💕

[@deannaschunkewitz724]

Why does the setting spray ruin my makeup .?I spray a little and it moves my makeup and clumps my lashes. Thanks in advance you are the best.

[@2eyeluvmac2]

You're spraying it too close to your face.

[@melissarampersad4393]

I’m listening to the information but I can’t stop staring at your look! It’s 🔥 I dream for my makeup to look like yours ☺️

[@CleoGravel]

Thanks so much Gabi for explaining the difference in these two products 😊 I had no idea 😊

[@deann3621]

This is SO helpful, thank you! I immediately went to all my "setting" sprays and checked them out. To my surprise, most were NOT the hydrating type. I had some hydrating toner so I put some in a sprayer and am testing it out right now. You are a gem 💎

[@mllestro6943]

Very informative thank you so much. By the way I love your hair braid

[@TriciaHaynes-q2z]

Thank you for this video. I've wondered what the difference was between the two. Some beauty influencer believe that a foundation should where we'll throughout the day on their own, even without a setting powder or finishing powder

[@carmensandiego5788]

Greatly appreciate you clarifying the differences Gabi ! A personal recommendation for a good hydrating spray is the Pixi Milky Mist. I've used it both under makeup and over. I tend to use powder foundation as I work in a hospital and it melt my makeup and keeps it looking nicely hydrated !

[@cmstrauss514]

Your make up looks absolutely beautiful! Would love a tutorial on this look.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thanks so much! Maybe I'll do a video on this look soon!

[@minda.fraser]

I love the LYS natural finish setting spray. The mister on it is fine and covers so lightly. I instantly feel hydrated love it!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thanks for sharing!

[@amyaltfather6783]

Such a great choice Gabi! That’s our Girl😘

[@irmaradinson2320]

I use D'Alba to prep my dry skin before makeup after that to set I use Milani. After 8 -10hrs of work in a AC I refresh my skin and my makeup is intact

[@Sandy-p4m]

I've been wanting to try that truffle spray. I've tried so many sprays and nothing has been my holy grail.

[@SurfingFamily]

Hi Gabi, Thanks for these informative series. I really like them. One question: From your perspective and experience, do many North Americans wear makeup without applying any skincare adapted to their needs beforehand? Some of the videos give me that idea. I ask because in Asia and Europe, this is very rarely the case. Thank you in advance for your feedback on this. Love from Paris

[@CatherineKarpman]

Super helpful Gabi and I love the long braid and your makeup in this video. Stunning. ✨🥰😊

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thanks so much Catherine! I appreciate having you here. ❤️

[@jeanniesmith3705]

The Jane Iredale Pommist smells amazing and works wonders. I also love Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting spray.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

It really does smell amazing and the finish is fabulous!

[@charitysheppard4549]

This video was SO HELPFUL!! Great information that is easy to understand. Thank you.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DanteVelasquez]

I wish there was one that combined both qualities.

[@SILVEto]

I love the Elf stay all night micro fine setting mist for a nice in-between! It hydrates but also locks your makeup in quite well. If you haven’t tried it, you might enjoy 🥰

[@manjeeravedantam2053]

Thank you so much I always wondered why nothing can hold makeup on my super oily skin. Thanks to you now I know the ingredients to look for . I hope now my makeup stays in spite of oils.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You'll have to let me know if it works for you!

[@manjeeravedantam2053]

Sure soon getting one of your recommended products and will let you know. If it can hold my greaseball face makeup them will work for anyone😂

[@Gnv-q2m]

I loved the now discontinued Bobbi Brown setting Spray which left my powders blended and my face hydrated. I used up an Hourglass spray which was ok and moved on to aCharlotte Tilbury. I’m finding that a little dehydrating for my skin and I dislike the initial fragrance. Fortunately it fades quickly. I will need to check ingredient lists in future.

Bonjour Gabi, merci pour toutes ces vidéos, je suis française, j'ai 57 ans, j'adore me maquiller mais avec l'âge, on change et je narrivais plus à utiliser les produits comme les fards à paupière, blush, l'eye liner, etc...tout change, tu mas fait comprendre beaucoup de choses, merci du fond du coeur, cest précieux !! J'ai acheté la collection des pinceaux Rehr, les produits d'Alba, même si c'était sponsorisé!! Ils peuvent te dire merci, car c'est la 1ère fois que j'achète une crème de jour!! Je n'aime pas les textures de ces crèmes d'habitude et je n'ai pas confiance dans les composants !! Mais là ça va, j'avais vérifié la composition avant et j'avoue que la crème de jour , sérum plus crème est plutôt bien, le shampooing super!! Tu es tres agréable à écouter, très sympathique et très professionnelle, j'aime beaucoup aussi que tu aies le courage de nous montrer tes imperfections, bravo!! On se sent moins seules!! Maintenant je regarde presque toutes tes vidéos alors que je n'avais jamais visionné ce genre avant!! Tes vidéos sont très bien réalisées, très structurées, rapides, pas de blabla inutile, tout est vraiment parfait: je t'adore !! Et on voit aussi que l'on peut te faire confiance !! J'ai voulu acheter le luminous silk d'Armani mais impossible à trouver par ici ou trop loin, car je n'aime pas les "foundations", j'ai le guerlain, trop couvrant et le Chanel plus fluide, mais la peau ne respire pas , je trouve cela désagréable et puis pour les journées longues c'est compliqué. donc j'ai demandé conseil à mon magasin préféré et elle m'a fait essayer le "Day wear de Estée Lauder, sheer tint release Moisturizer!! C'est incroyable, j'ai appliqué d'abord le "concealer" sur ses conseils sur les zones à problème puis jai appliqué ce produit,ensuite poudre et blush!! C'est absolument incroyable, tu dois vraiment l'essayer, mon visage ressemble à ma peau de mes 30 ans!! C'est magique et magnifique !! J'aimerais te demander un conseil et peut-être une vidéo, ma peau et mes yeux sont un peu comme toi mais je suis plutôt chatain claire de cheveux et je fais faire des mèches blondes, contrairement à mes habitudes, je mets maintenant souvent du blanc(crayon dior waterproof au dessus de eye liner noir) super pour l'été, ca ne bouge pas, ou de l'argenté en fard à paupières (sequin YSL) mais dans ce cas je l'utilise aussi comme un gros trait sur tout l'œil au dessus du crayon "lashes line" mais j'aimerais faire comme avec tous les autres fards, et utiliser une couleur de transition, si tu peux nous faire une vidéo ce serait super...c'est totalement contre-intuitif, mais cette couleur me va vraiment très bien, et jadore les paillettes!! A mon âge, je men fiche, j'ai envie de gaieté et de fêtes et tant pis pour "politiquement correct"!! Ce que je fais est fun mais pas "trash"!! Merci encore pour tout tu es la meilleure !! And you are so simple, naturelle, fun and so beautifull! ❤❤❤❤

You are stunning! So impressed by knowledge and the way you break things down for us. Would love some cruelty free company drugstore options more often. I know L’Oreal is somewhat but they sell in China and China isn’t:(

It might have been one of these two: 1. TYMO Airhype Blowdryer: go.shopmy.us/p-5422955 2. TYMO Volumizer Blowout Brush * I do find that this one tends to get hot really quickly after about a year of everyday use. go.shopmy.us/p-5422954

[@deborah1012]

Thank you, Gabi! That was very helpful. I have dry skin. If I use a setting spray and fixing spray can I later use a hydrating spray if I’m feeling dry?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes you can!

[@loripfender2478]

First, let me say how I love the outfit and make up on you have today. Pink is definitely your color. Also, I wanted to say that you’re my favorite KZbinr. It seems like you make KZbin every other day or so and they’re always different. It’s not the same thing over and over again you always have interesting tidbits. And my last thing is about a year ago you had did a tutorial on blow dryer that you used and you really liked it and it was only like $100 and I can’t find that tutorial anywhere. Do you know what blow dryer that was. I believe it’s one that you use all the time. Thanks.

Hi Gaby! So interesting! Finally some clarity! Don’t you find the L’Oreal Infallible spray a little breathtaking? It seem to me to be hairspray sold as a fixing spray ( by the way we used to do that in the 90’, when we hadn’t any spray ). I literally suffocate every time I use it ! I moved it in the bathroom among hair products ! 😅 Thanks got the video ! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@Itsgr8-GR8]

I definitely needed this information! So confusing, 😆 for real! So quick question … I read somewhere that in a pinch you can use an aerosol hairspray ( I hope you’re not screaming already!) as a makeup setter. I’m an Urban Decay All Nighter girl, but a couple times when I’ve run out of UD I did try it. I don’t like heavy hairspray (No AquaNet!) But something like Cake Beauty’s flexible spray? Am I just fooling myself and maybe drying out my skin? What are your thoughts? Making notes on PVP, AMP, VP/PA for sure though! Thanks for the video! 💄✨

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yup you’re correct. You can use hairspray if you’re in a pinch and it will work in a similar way. The only thing is that it’s less flexible because it’s made for hair and not skin so it won’t be AS good but it is okay when you have no other option.

Do the powder melting sprey go on top of primer or under primer ? To lock the primer

[@BayleeD1980]

Hey Gabi! One question?? So I have combo skin and I loving the Jane Irdale power foundation. I purchased the discovery kit. I wasn’t loving the Pommist that came with the kit because my T-zone was oily with a couple of hours. I found in the website the balancing spray and decided to give it a try. I just got and haven’t used it yet. Just curious on your thoughts on the products that claim to hydrate but offer oil control. Is it a fixing or setting spray? On the website it claims: A skin-balancing, hydrating face spray that locks in moisture, tones skin and sets makeup for a lasting, skin-like finish. It confusing balancing oil control and hydrating… 🤷‍♀️

Is there a drugstore hydrating spray?

[@jodykinley6784]

Is fixing the same as finishing spray?

[@onewhisper22005]

I’ll never understand why brands insist on naming things opposite of what they are. Like, I can understand brands naming everything “setting spray” since that’s usually the main name people know. Like Urban Decay Setting Spray, which is a fixing spray. BUT, Max Fix Plus, having Fix in the name when it’s a setting spray - is just so weird to me 😂 Like why’d they name it that when it’s not a fixing spray? 🤷‍♀️😂

[@gattinilover70]

Doesn't the alcohol contained age the skin over time? Thanks

Does fixing spray also give you a hydrating look?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

It depends on the one that you use and the ingredients in it. I find the new L’Oréal is hydrating (without being too oily) while also being a good fixing spray.

[@raevalverde7757]

I used the Peter Thomas Roth serum and it looked so flaky I tossed it! What did I do wrong??!

@@mariapizarrosath8147 I bet you're allergic to an ingredient inside the setting spray.

I bet the same thing is happening to you.
