"Hairspray can be used a makeup setting spray." As the final step in most makeup routines, an artist might spritz a bit of setting spray to keep everything manicured and polished. This helps prevent mascara or liquid eyeshadow from running and adds a dewy-appearance to your face. Porter says sometimes folks will use hairspray at home, which might appear to do the same trick, but actually can be dangerous for your pores. "Hairspray contains alcohols and lacquers that will dry your skin out terribly and clog your pores. The propellant can also irritate your skin, leaving you with redness and bumps," she says. Just think of how your hair feels when you use a hairspray: somewhat hard and crunchy, right? This makes it a no-brainer to not use on your skin.
