I am the type of girl who either has a full face of makeup on or none at all. Even when I try to just apply an “everyday face”, I come out looking completely glam. What can I say?… I love the artistry behind makeup. I enjoy sitting in front of the mirror and blending eye shadows until my arm falls asleep. I love the confidence and completeness that a full face of makeup it gives me. I guess it gives me some type of inner peace.
However, I have SUPER oily skin. I am talking oilyyyy. Once I step outside into the humid air, my beautiful freshly applied makeup turns into a hot mess express – foundation meltdown, no matter what foundation or primer I have used. Heart breaking right? No one likes make-up slipping and sliding!
I have always been a lover of makeup, but it wasn’t until about four years ago that I became a full on addict/connoisseur/collector…you get the picture. I have the wonderful world of Youtube to thank for that. Around this same time, I was working full time at a car dealership in sales, so I was in and out of air conditioning all day. I would have to constantly touch up my makeup to keep it looking fresh. So, during a time when I was watching every video Nicole Guerriero had to offer, and working outside in the heat every day, I came across a product that would forever change my makeup game. Skindinavia Finishing Spray.
Skindinavia was the first makeup finishing spray that I had heard of at the time. I was obviously a little skeptical of a spray that would supposedly keep my makeup in place all day on my oily skin. But…I ordered it with a hopeful heart! I remember the first time I used the Skindinavia Finishing Spray like it was yesterday. I remember the smell, the way it felt on my skin- it was light, as though there was nothing extra on top of my makeup. The first time I used it just happened to be a night that I was going out to a night club. Night clubs are HOT – a foundation’s worst nightmare. I can honestly say I left that nightclub looking the same as when I went in…ehhh maybe a little drunk, but looking the same none the less.
Every since that night, Skindinavia has been my home girl. I have repurchased this product time and time again. I use it on an everyday basis. I even used this product on my wedding day and it kept me flawless all day and night.
I am not going to say it is the only finishing spray I have tried, because that wouldn’t be true. For awhile, I jumped on the MAC Fix+ band wagon and was pretty dissatisfied with the product. MAC Fix+ is fab is you are looking to make your skin look dewy, but I would not recommend it to oily ladies like myself as a finishing spray.
With all of that being said, I am a huge fan of this brand. So when I saw that they came out with a primer spray, I may or may not have peed my pants a little in excitement! For me, primers are just as important as a quality setting spray. Especially in these HOT summer months in Georgia. Keeping my makeup in place here is a real struggle!
I apply both products in a “T” and “X” spray motion. Doing so will insure you do not miss a spot on your face. So what is the skinny about these two babes?…

What is the science behind the brand?
Normal skin temperature is 90°: This causes moisture to evaporate quickly, drying your skin
and makeup.
Skin’s natural heat and rapid moisture loss result in:
-Makeup color loss, requiring frequent touch-ups.
-Excessive oil production to counteract dryness.
-Dry, cracked makeup.
-Oily shine.
The COOL science behind SKINDINAVIA:
Skindinavia’s patented technology forms a lightweight, breathable web working with your makeup that slowly releases over 16 hours. The timed-release evaporation retains moisture longer while also drawing heat away from the skin as it slowly evaporates throughout the day. The results are fresh, cool makeup for up to 16 hours.
