We tapped Dr. Monica Li, a dermatologist and clinical instructor at the department of dermatology and skin science at the University of British Columbia, and makeup artist Stephen Moleski—who has worked with celebs like Carrie Underwood and Mel B, and was the artist behind the Kardashians’ famous smoky eye looks back in the early years of the family’s fame—to learn what exactly is in the magical sprays we can’t stop reaching for.

Got it. Now back to those polymers. What, uh, are they? “Polymers are particles linked in a long chain that produce the robust film needed to shield makeup from wear and tear, explains Dr. Li. “Because of their shielding properties, these polymers can also provide some water-resistant effects for makeup products.
