I didn't check if it can be delivered next day. That depends on location.

Yes, I can get it today, I think. (that is, if I spend $36. The travel size for $17 is not available as fast : )

But is it really unscented?

I read reviews of Neutrogena & ELF & both say "light scent". Not gonna work for me, I am way to sensitive...

Note if it makes a difference. I am only wearing eye liner and blush. I think I'm even going to skip lip color because after Friday night seudah (unless I don't eat) it gets really messy. No foundation. Probably not even under-eye concealer because I don't want to leave all the guck on all night.

But I know my eyes tear, especially when I'm tried, and as carefully as I blot with a tissue, I end up with eye liner in the middle but none at the edges... so hoping a spray will help it stay on.

Haven't had professional makeup done for Shabbos in some time, and I doubt anybody is working tomorrow : )

Its a great setting spray but it smells like pickle juice when you first spray it 😀. Scent doesn’t last tho.

Maybe you just need a more waterproof eyeliner?

I don't think spray will help. Use a waterproof liner and a cream blush, topped with a powder one. I can give you links if you want - though no promises they will fit your Op requirements

I have the spray and I’m pretty sensitive to scents and it’s as unscented as it gets, just a slight alcohol smell that fades after a second but as others said it’s not going to help eyeliner on the bottom of your eye and blush is also the first thing that fades for me even with the spray. Eyeshadow and lipstick stay put very well for me and I use Gade liquid liner which doesn’t budge even without spray. It’s a pain to apply though. I bought an eyeliner brush because the applicator makes a mess on my bottom lashes and I have to stop between each part of my eye so it dries fully before moving on. I only do this for yontif or a major simcha.

Thanks, but can you specify which one you mean?

Also, can I have someone spray on my eyelids? So it will help for the top eyeliner? (Or I guess I can do it myself one eye at a time, but I will be scared....)

You need eyelid primer I use urban decay one
Put primer then shadow then liner
Spray I used urban decay all nighter
Also recommend trying diff brand eyeliners to see what stays best for u

Do you have a mall with a department store nearby or a Sephora? They will do your makeup professionally and they’ll spray it and apply it so that it’ll last.

Just wanted to say thanks for the ideas, ladies. I ordered Urban Decay spray and Gade eyeliner, both of which arrived on Friday. I was afraid to try the spray for the first time on Friday in case I had a reaction, but I did use the eyeliner & BH it stayed on very nicely (well, except for the corners, but enough so that I looked what I consider normal!)
