It is much better to use an oil-absorbing mist or pad instead of a mist before touching up your makeup.

How do you all touch up your makeup when it starts to break down or cake in the afternoon? In the past, whenever I felt my skin was dry, I used to just spray a generous amount of hydrating mist and reapply cushion foundation. However, as the mist evaporated, it actually stripped away moisture from deep within my skin, causing my makeup to look even messier and cakeier. So, starting about a month ago, I've been lightly wiping away excess oil with blotting paper or a single hydrating pad before applying touch-ups. Since switching to this routine, there is absolutely no caking, and my makeup applies so smoothly and looks plump, just like I just applied it. I am extremely satisfied.
