Review: 10 Years Younger Makeup Finishing Spray By Skindinavia

I enjoy wearing makeup, and though my taste in makeup really hasn't changed in oh, about 25 years (gulp!), the way I apply it sort of has. The older I get, the more different my skin has gotten. When I was 17, there was no worries about wrinkles and crease lines - now, I have to be a bit more careful with how I cake on that eyeshadow! ;)

As we age, powdering over foundation only leads to a drier, duller complexion. It can be tempting to pile on the coverage to hide age spots, wrinkles, and tired skin - but stop! Purchase a good foundation for your correct skin tone - remember, your skin tone can shift not only through the year, but as you age - and a quality makeup setter to help you achieve a flawless look throughout the day.

Celebrity makeup artists turn to cult-favorite 10 Years Younger Makeup Finishing Spray by Skindinavia for their clients to keep makeup going strong all day - while hydrating and nourishing the skin's surface for a beautiful glow. Celebrities like Uma Thurman, Madonna and the cast of Dancing with the Stars, including Carrie Ann Inaba use it. I figure if this would help ladies like the Dancing With the Stars cast members keep their makeup on while doing all that dancing, it must be good! The folks over at Skindinavia sent me on over a bottle of the 10 Years Younger Makeup Finishing Spray so I could try it out for myself and see how it works.

10 Years Younger Makeup Finishing Spray by Skindinavia is an anti-aging formula that is long lasting - up to 16 hours! This ultra fine makeup setting spray is hypoallergenic and paraben free. It's not tested on animals, and it's made here in the USA, so it immediately got my attention. It's specially formulated for mature skin types.

To use, simply put on your makeup as usual - except for mascara. Then, spray the 10 Years Younger Makeup Finishing Spray 2 to 4 times across your face using an "x" and "T" formation. The convenient pump bottle allows you to spray it evenly while you do this. (Be sure to rinse the nozzle off after using it each time, so you don't end up with a clogged nozzle that spews too much/too little!) While it is not unscented, it does have a pleasant scent that isn't overwhelming.

Now, my skin is a little more sensitive these days than it used to be, but I didn't have any problems with it irritating my skin. Yay! I'm not going to say I looked ten years younger (ahem), but the 10 Years Younger Makeup Finishing Spray by Skindinavia definitely helped my makeup stay in place throughout the day, keeping my skin looking fresh, and not letting my makeup look like it was sliding off my face. Remember how I was stranded by the side of the road Saturday? My makeup should have been melting off my face - and it didn't!

I'm looking forward to using it during the assorted festivals this summer, because normally I would have to reapply my makeup two or three times during the day. Judging by how it's worked so far, I'll be able to leave the spare makeup kit in the car, and not have to retrieve it for touchups! (Can you hear my excitement? lol)

Now, if you don't use a lot of makeup, you might not see the point in using something to set your makeup, and I understand. It just depends on your needs - what you are wearing, and where you are going. If you need to look impeccable for the office, this could help. If you're just tossing on a bit of mascara and some lip gloss most days to run errands, then you'd want to skip this.

A two ounce bottle of 10 Years Younger Makeup Finishing Spray by Skindinavia retails for $19.00, while a 4 ounce bottle is $29.00. You can purchase it online via their website. Now through June 1st, you will receive free US shipping and a free mini finishing spray with every order, so it's an excellent time to give it a try if you are interested!
