This is a 1940s movie makeup trick. Makeup wasn't as good then as it is now and lights were a lot hotter, so they had to do SOMETHING to keep them from having to completely redo the actors' makeup after every take.

Modern makeup doesn't need this, and spraying hairspray on your face is bad for you. Some people very lightly mist their makeup with water, which WILL make it last longer.
