If you’ve ever been late for brunch and tried to dry your foundation in a hot bathroom, you know how hard it can be. It gets worse when your setting spray melts off because of the heat. This is when a handheld fan for makeup helps. Not just any fan, but one that works well and is easy to carry.
In this blog, you’ll learn why handheld fans are helpful for makeup, how makeup artists use them, and why the AIRV 2-in-1 Portable Mini Fan & Power Bank is a good one to keep with you.
What Is a Handheld Fan for Makeup

A handheld fan for makeup is a small fan that runs on a battery. It helps dry makeup faster. People often use it when they apply:
-
Liquid foundation or dewy makeup
-
Setting spray
-
Eyelash glue or brow gel
-
Skincare products with many steps
Instead of using your hands to fan your face, a small fan is quicker and cleaner.
But some fans don’t work well. Some are too weak. Some are too big. Some are hard to carry. That’s why AIRV is a better choice.
