Customer Reviews
Shipping & Application a Big Hassle, but Product Itself is Good
The product itself is good. I have only used it twice, and I'm not entirely sure that I can form an opinion after just two uses - especially for a first time Final Seal user. I believe it takes some practice and some may have to get used to it. But so far, so good.
I bought the generous 8 ounce bottle. It is an alcohol-based liquid that is a bluish color. I applied Final Seal to my lids, and it did tingle significantly. Still, the sensation was brief and bearable.
I am still experimenting with the application of Final Seal. My bottle of Final Seal did not come in a spray bottle as I assumed it would. Instead, it came in a plain plastic bottle. I had to go out and buy my own spray bottle, and when I got it home, I found that the spray bottle sprayed more of a solid, squirted stream. What I need is a mist!
In my most recent attempts, I have poured Final Seal into the "spray" bottle. From there, I sprayed a few streams of Final Seal onto a cotton ball, and gently blotted the saturated cotton ball over my entire face. Unfortunately, in doing so, the cotton ball actually picked up a little bit of the makeup I had just finished applying. Not good! I cannot simply squirt streams of Final Seal all over my face. That would create a dripping mess. As it turns out, I actually need a "pump" spray bottle or an "atomizer" spray bottle, not a "trigger" spray bottle. The inferior packaging of this product is one drawback of an otherwise good product.
Another drawback is Final Seal's finished texture on the eyelids. Once it dries, I have found that it creates bits of visible, crackled spots. I use a high-end, velvety eyeshadow, and Final Seal tends to create dried-up looking spots. It's possible however, that this problem is due to the wrong kind of spray bottle.
The last drawback is the shipping method. I believe I purchased Final Seal from a vendor called "The Makeup Artist." If I remember correctly, their shipping method is USPS. When my package arrived, I was not available to answer the door. But they didn't just leave the package at my door. Instead, they left a slip in my door. After a lot of hassle, I managed to arrange for redelivery. Then, the next day, even though I was sick, I had to get up and get ready so I could sign for it. And no one knew what particular time the package would arrive . . . I just had to be ready ahead of time. If I didn't answer my door and sign for the package, I wouldn't receive it. I've ordered many products online many times before and I've never experienced shipping problems at all. They should have allowed me to specify my preferences if I did not answer the door. I'm not entirely sure who was to blame here, but it was quite inconvenient.
Final Verdict:
-- Overall, it's a good product
-- Ask about shipping options
-- You'll need a "pump"/"atomizer" spray bottle, NOT a "trigger" spray bottle.
-- Practice makes perfect
-- Start out buy purchasing a smaller sized bottle of Final Seal so you can learn if Final Seal is right for you.

Makeup Sealer
Some cosmetics migrate all over my face. The sealer helps them to stay. I have yet tested the water resistant quality of the product.
