A setting spray is our secret to long-wearing, glowy makeup. A few spritzes of a face fixing spray will help your makeup last longer while granting a host of skincare benefits - glow-giving, mattifying and hydrating. Forget smudgy mascara and lipstick on your chin by 3pm - a quick mist of a setting spray ensures your makeup stays put all day.
If you want your makeup to look freshly applied well into the evening, setting spray is the answer beauty experts swear by. Although it looks like a simple mist, modern formulas are infused with ingredients that help your makeup last longer, resist smudging and add an extra hit of radiance or oil control, depending on the finish you choose.
To use, hold the bottle at arm’s length, close your eyes and mist evenly over your face once you’ve finished your makeup, allowing it to dry naturally. This creates an invisible veil that locks everything in without feeling tight or sticky. You can also spritz setting spray onto a brush or sponge before applying eyeshadow or powder foundation to boost colour payoff and help products mesh beautifully with the skin.
