We all know the formula to lasting make-up is a good primer and setting spray, but let's be real, those things can get a bit pricey.

Especially after Christmas, when we don't have a penny to spare, we want something a bit more cost-effective and that will last us a really long time.

Well, all of those fancy sprays can move aside, because the hairdryer is the new way to set your make-up.

Celebrity make-up artist, Susan Heydt told Women's Health that the hairdryer is the perfect way to set your war-paint, but advised that the setting must be on a low heat.

“Although using a blow-dryer to heat up eyelash curlers and dry off skin works well, you’ll need to use a very low heat setting and have good environmental humidity to avoid causing skin damage.

“Youthful skin would definitely be a prerequisite for this type of setting process, as not too many women with mature skin would want to dry out their face any further.”

We might not use this method all the time, but it sure is a good way when money is tight!
