Ben Nye Final Seal Setting Spray — Matte Longwear Makeup Sealer, 2 oz Lightweight Mint Finish

Ben Nye Final Seal is a matte finishing spray designed to lock makeup in place, reduce smudging, and extend wear with a light mint scent.

Whether you need makeup that survives long shoots, stage performances, or a full day of errands, Final Seal creates a lightweight, smudge-resistant barrier over foundation and color products. The formula dries to a natural matte finish and can be applied before or after makeup to slow perspiration and minimize transfer without adding shine.

How do I use Final Seal to make makeup last all day?

Spray Final Seal from a distance of about 8–12 inches onto finished makeup, keeping eyes closed while misting in an even, sweeping motion. Let the spray dry naturally—do not blot or fan—and allow a minute for the film to set. For extra hold, apply a second light mist once the first layer is dry.

• Shake bottle before use to blend ingredients for consistent coverage
• Hold 8–12 inches away and spray in short bursts from multiple angles
• Allow 60–90 seconds to dry fully before touching the face

Can I use Final Seal before makeup to control perspiration?

Yes. A light pre-application mist can help reduce surface moisture and create a tack-free base for foundation, especially in hot or humid conditions. Use sparingly on bare skin to avoid interfering with product adhesion, and follow with your regular primer and foundation routine.

• Apply a fine mist to clean skin before primer for perspiration control
• Layer makeup normally; reapply sparingly only if needed
• Works well for performers, brides, and longwear occasions

Will Final Seal affect my makeup’s finish or color?

Final Seal dries to a matte, non-gloss finish and is formulated to preserve the original color and texture of applied products. It should not cause streaking or noticeable darkening when applied correctly; however, over-saturating an area may slightly alter appearance, so use light, even sprays.

• Delivers a matte finish without dulling pigments when used as directed
• A gentle mint scent evaporates quickly after drying
• Avoid excessive layering to prevent any change in texture

How do I remove makeup when using a longwear sealer?

Remove Final Seal and makeup with an oil-based or dual-phase makeup remover to break down the film and dissolve longwear pigments. Follow with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to restore skin balance—double-cleansing is recommended after heavy or waterproof products.

• Start with oil or balm to dissolve the seal and pigments
• Follow with a water-based cleanser to remove residue
• Finish with hydrating toner or moisturizer as needed

Who is this for? Ben Nye Final Seal is ideal for makeup artists, performers, bridal parties, photographers, and anyone who needs dependable, long-lasting wear with a matte finish. It suits normal to oily skin types seeking reduced transfer and extended wear, and it pairs well with both cream and powder products. Avoid use on very sensitive or compromised skin without patch testing first.
