items I have been on the hunt to try every setting spray that I can get my hands on and see which ones I like the best.
For reference I have oily skin and I like a minimally dewy look but mostly matte. One other thing I have to mention is I never use one ...

Powder melts
I love this to powder melt and go with my barrier spray over top. Really affordable and easily accessible.
e.l.f. Stay All Night Setting Mist 80ML
Works insanely well and performs beautifully under its matte setting spray counterpart. Stops dry looking under eye and is refreshing on the skin.
Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
I love this setting spray as a powder melt it really blends everything together and stops you from getting that cakey look. I like to put this on dry it and then put my preferred setting spray over top.
Morphe Continuous Setting Mist
Setting sprays
I personally like this a more of a powder melt spray as someone with oily skin a i feel it makes me a little too dewy however I absolutely love it as my first setting spray and the one size matte spray as my second it’s such a good match.
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray: Hydrating Waterproof Setting ...
Really similar to its predecessor. I still feel it’s slightly dewy for me so it still goes under my one size but it’s definitely more matter than the original.
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray: Hydrating Waterproof Setting ...
Really beautiful satiny finish on this not too dewy but just enough glow which I like. + it’s acne safe !! In terms of other sprays on this list I think this one most closely rivals the charlotte tilbury original spray.
SurrealSkin® Soft Setting Spray
This blurs everything so beautifully which is no surprise Danessa products are super high quality. So so so so matte my face didn’t budge at all. This is a new favourite for me for sure.
Yummy Skin Liquid Blurring Balm Setting Spray Mini
This setting spray is one of my favourite drugstore ones. The price point is super reasonable especially when considering performance. Really fine, thin mist comparable to the one size spray although very slightly more dewy.
L'Oreal Paris Setting Spray
This spray is also a powder melt kind of setting spray for me but in a more matte sense. Like charlotte tilbury melts in a dewy way this melts in a matte way. Super nice blurring finish and the skindinavia formula is phenomenal.
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray 118ml
I personally think this is not as matte as I was led to believe but it is still super matte. I love the morphe spray under this one and I think the final result is blurry and locked down so so good.
Revolution Superfix Misting Spray 150ml
I love this formula my makeup is so matte and blurred it looks amazing. However for the price point the atomiser is awful and I do decant it into a different bottle.
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Spray - 100ml
This setting spray is great for powder melting and makes my base look really blurred combined and smooth not enough people talk about it !
The Beauty Crop Oui Cherie Dual-Phase Setting Mist
This is also another setting spray that is good for double duty it melt powders well and makes my base look super good. In my opinion milani is a bit more expensive for drugstore but this is definitely a product of theirs that is worth it.
Make It Last Setting Spray Prime + Correct + Set 60ml
Pairs really well with their accompanying primer. It’s a really good powder melt that I like to layer underneath my heavy duty matte spray but I’ve seen a lot of people like this on its own too.
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Dewy Makeup Setting Spray 100ml
Fixing sprays
This is 100% my favourite setting spray right now. It’s my go to and currently nothing else is touching it. I don’t get super oily. It performs really well over extended periods of time, in heat, with sweat. Literally no complaints.
ONE/SIZE On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray 143ml
This stuff is phenomenal. I use this for festivals, concerts etc. Any heavy duty job when I really want my face to last it locks everything down. Nothing budges and it’s really worthy every penny.
Fixing Spray | Kryolan - Professional Make-up
This is really good I have used this in 40 degree celsius heat and nothing moved. Make sure to watch tutorials on how to use this properly cause there is a technique to it but it’s waterproof, sweat proof it’s made for stage makeup so you know it’s r...
