Use your hairspray to: Set make up
To make sure your carefully constructed eyeliner flick lasts, or to keep your foundation on form all day and all night, just spritz hairspray directly above you then tilt your head back and let the spray fall onto your face. Voila – make-up that lasts as long as you do!
Use your hairspray to: Stop ladders spreading!
We all hate the look of laddered tights, and there’s nothing worse than discovering a small hole in your tights whilst out and about and then watching it slowly spread. Instead, spritz some hairspray on the tear and this should stop the ladder growing until you can get a new pair!
Use your hairspray to: Stop dresses and skirts from riding up
A winter dress and tights can look really chic – but it’s so annoying when it rides up as you walk! Do what gymnasts do to keep their leotards in place and put a thin layer of hairspray over your legs and the top of your thighs. This will hold you dress or skirt in place so you can rock your look with confidence.
