Blog #5 Setting Spray

Setting spray is a product I use whenever I want my makeup to last all day. In my introduction video, I mentioned that I particularly like using setting spray when I am using a powder over the top of a liquid, as it sets the two together and makes the powder look more natural. Without setting spray, powder can often leave a residue that makes you look like you’re wearing more makeup than you actually are. If you tend to use both liquid and powder products on your face, then setting spray is a must. I have outlined a couple of my faves, and one of my least faves below. 

Huda Beauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray 

Huda Beauty absolutely kills it with every product and this one is no exception. The spray comes out in a consistent, fine mist that is soothing to the skin. The amount of liquid that comes out is perfect and does disturb any of the other products on your face. Once applied, the product feels a bit sticky, kind of like if you were to have sprayed your face with hairspray. This feels a bit weird at first but once dried your makeup does not budge a single bit. Not sure why it needs to be waterproof and why this is a major feature they advertise because I don’t think many people go underwater with a full face of makeup. Good if it’s raining I guess?

Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Setting Spray 

I have been using this setting spray for years, pretty much since I started using a setting spray. The mist is a bit thicker and comes out in one consistent spray. It can be a bit heavy so I usually use it before I put on mascara to avoid it from smudging. I can rely on this product every single time to keep my makeup in place and combine my powder and liquid products for a seamless finish. I really notice a difference when I forget to spray this in the texture and longevity of my makeup. I would recommend a hundred times over!

Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer and Setting Spray 

I received a bottle of this primer and setting spray in a package set from Sephora. I heard great reviews and decided to try it for both of its purposes, a primer, and a setting spray. I used it about 5-10 times and every time I used it I noticed my makeup would not apply well and would become very patchy. I was trying other products at the time so I wasn’t sure if this was the culprit, if it were other products I was trying, or if my skin was just really dry. As soon as I removed this from my routine my makeup went back to normal. *trash can*
