Kose Make Keep Mist EX bi-layer makeup setting spray — 2.7 fl oz, sweat-resistant hydrating face mist with cica & hyaluronic acid

Kose Make Keep Mist EX is a two-layer setting spray that creates a breathable, flexible film to lock makeup in place while delivering hydrating skincare ingredients.

This lightweight facial mist from Japan combines setting power with skin-friendly actives so you don’t have to choose between long-lasting makeup and hydration. The proprietary bi-layer formula separates silicone and water-based components that, when blended by shaking, form a thin, resilient coating over foundation, powders, and cream products. It’s designed to resist sweat and humidity and keep finishes looking fresh across a full day of wear.

How does the bi-layer system keep makeup intact through heat and humidity?

The spray uses a two-phase composition that combines on contact to create a flexible protective film. This film moves with facial expressions instead of cracking or flaking, which helps maintain coverage and color even during warm or active conditions.

• Two separated liquid layers that activate when shaken to form a continuous coat.
• Three polymers that bond to makeup and skin to resist sweat and moisture.
• Produces a lightweight, non-sticky finish that reduces shine without drying out skin.

Will this mist hydrate my skin while locking in makeup?

Yes — Kose balanced the film-forming performance with hydrating and skin-supporting ingredients so the spray won’t leave skin feeling tight. Formulated with cica (centella asiatica extract), hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, and squalane, it helps maintain moisture beneath the makeup barrier.

• Cica soothes and calms redness-prone skin while providing gentle support.
• Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture where the skin needs it most.
• Hydrolyzed collagen and squalane help preserve elasticity and a smooth surface.

How do I use Make Keep Mist EX for best results?

Using the mist is quick and repeatable: shake thoroughly, hold a short distance, and spray evenly as the final step. Follow simple timing and distance to ensure an even veil — this method is effective over any type of base makeup and suitable for touch-ups if needed.

• Shake the bottle at least 10 times until the two layers mix clearly.
• Hold 5–6 inches from the face and mist in an even sweeping motion.
• Allow the film to set naturally; avoid touching until fully dry for a clean finish.

Is this spray suitable for all skin types and makeup styles?

The formula was developed for broad compatibility, working with liquid, cream, and powder products and formulated to be non-comedogenic. It helps control excess oil and shine without stripping moisture, making it appropriate for normal, combination, oily, and dry skin when used as directed.

• Non-comedogenic profile reduces risk of clogged pores with regular use.
• Effective under heavier editorial makeup as well as everyday natural looks.
• Compact 2.7 fl oz size fits into makeup bags for on-the-go refreshes.

Who this is for: Kose Make Keep Mist EX suits anyone who wants their makeup to appear freshly applied from morning through evening without frequent touch-ups. It’s especially useful for commuters, event attendees, people in humid climates, and makeup artists seeking a reliable finishing step that also contributes skincare benefits. If you wear foundation, cream or powder products and want added resilience plus hydration, this mist gives a practical, easy-to-use finishing layer that helps makeup withstand daily stressors.
