Setting Sprays That Actually Make Your Makeup Last All Day
15
items I used to think setting spray was one of those completely optional makeup steps until I realized the RIGHT one can make such a difference. If I’m doing a full face, I want it to survive commuting, humidity, dinner, going out and whatever else I someh...
Starting with the obvious one because All Nighter has the reputation it does for a reason. This is what I’d reach for before a wedding, night out, ridiculously long day or basically any situation where checking whether my makeup is still on my face i...

On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
The name Face Glue is slightly terrifying but also exactly what I want a $10 setting spray to promise me lol. This is waterproof, fade-resistant and transfer-resistant with up to 24-hour wear, so I’d absolutely try this before assuming you need a $35...
NYX Professional Makeup The Face Glue Makeup Setting Spray - 2 fl oz
This one makes SO much sense if your issue isn’t just makeup fading. It’s that everything starts emphasizing your pores as the day goes on. Super Setter is made to lock makeup in for 16 hours while instantly blurring the look of pores. I love when a ...
The POREfessional: Super Setter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
The fact that a drugstore setting spray is claiming up to THIRTY-SIX hours immediately got my attention. It’s an aerosol with a super-fine mist that dries quickly, which I personally prefer when I’ve just spent forever doing my makeup and do not want...

Morphe genuinely knows how to make a satisfying setting-spray mist. This version gives you that super-fine continuous spray but adds 16-hour wear plus waterproof, sweatproof and transfer-resistant claims. I also love that it’s alcohol-free because so...
Lifeproof 16-Hour Continuous Setting Mist - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
One of those drugstore products that has been good for so long that people almost forget to talk about it. It gives you a natural finish instead of forcing you into super-matte or super-dewy territory, and it’s made for up to 24 hours of waterproof a...

Oily-skin girls who do NOT want another product promising a “radiant glow,” this one is for you. Lasting Fix is specifically made to give a matte finish and extend makeup wear for up to 16 hours. Under $10, straightforward and does exactly the job I’...
Lasting Fix Makeup Setting Spray - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
This is the one I love for when my makeup is technically finished but the powder, blush and bronzer still look like three separate layers sitting on my face. The continuous micro-fine mist helps everything melt together and leaves a naturally radiant...
Continuous Setting Mist - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
If matte setting sprays make your skin look approximately ten years drier, try a dewy one. This is lightweight, under $10 and gives makeup that fresh glow back after you’ve powdered everything down. I especially like this idea for fall and winter whe...
