These Drugstore Makeup Setting Sprays Will Keep You Looking Fresh-Faced All Day

This setting spray has a long-lasting matte finish, which is perfect if you only want your personality, and not your face, to shine all day. It’s lightweight and vegan and has been tested by enough people to fill a small village — there are over 5,800 reviews on Amazon, including this one. “I have combo skin in that my T-zone gets SUPER oily and my chin and cheeks do not… I use this at the very end, and I have to say that I really like this product! I’m not sure if it’s a combo of a different routine, or being partnered with some of the items mentioned below, but my GOD has it made a difference. I just spray a few times to lightly mist my face, and it dries pretty quickly. It really helps control the oil on my face – without this and a setting powder, my face would be SUPER shiny by 4pm, but it lasts into the night with just a bit of shine (taken care of by blotting and/or a quick pat of powder).”

This Rimmel product is a primer and a setting spray — apply it underneath, over your makeup, or both. It’s also oil-free, so for those prone to oily skin, this spray will give you a nice matte look. Everyone’s skin is different but when you find a miracle-working product that works, it’s worth noting. Says this happy customer, “I have sensitive, oily skin (Honestly, I’m an oil slick. It’s sad). I’ve tried other matte primers (Yes, even Korean ones, as most of my skincare products are Korean) but alas those primers did nothing for me. This is the best primer for my face. It keeps me matte most of the day. Oil starts making an unsolicited appearance in the afternoon, as opposed to in a couple of hours as per my usual struggle, and that’s when blotting comes in handy. I even wear it without makeup (even when I’m just chilling at home for the day) to control that pesky sebum production. I have yet to find a matte primer that lasts from morning to night, but this one lasts from morning to afternoon, so it’s great in my book. My very oily book.”

If there’s one thing a busy person loves, it’s a multitasking product. Milani’s 3-in-1 spray (primes, corrects, and sets, oh my) will lock in your makeup for 16 hours. “I have EXTREMELY oily skin and nothing worked to contain it… until now,” said one happy customer. “I spray this on my face before and after make-up application and it keeps the shine away the entire work day! User for life!”

This lightweight, oil-free setting spray from L’Oreal Paris will keep your makeup looking fresh and just applied all day. Because who has time for touch-ups anyway? Many customers on Amazon go as far as to call it an Urban Decay dupe. “This product works really well to lock makeup in place and significantly extend makeup wear. I personally find it to be completely comparable to UD allnighter, which had long been my favorite. Some say that the mister of the UD is better, but when I spray both bottles they seem exactly the same to me. People have also said that the infallible has a more chemical smell than UD. The sprays do smell slightly different, but pretty similar and alcohol-like. My guess is that the only difference is UD has added some fragrance. I’m very happy to have found the perfect dupe for less than 1/2 the price!” We love a good drugstore beauty steal—don’t you?!

When your skin is feeling a little parched, give it a little H20 boost with a facial spray infused with herbal extracts and rosewater for a dewy glow. It’ll instantly reenergize your face like that afternoon coffee wakes up your brain. Any other Mario Badescu devotees out there? If you already swear by other products from the brand (namely, their cult-favorite drying lotion), then their facial spray is worth a shot. If anything, it sure does smell good. This customer chimes in, “I recently started using this line of products and my face ( after just one use ) significantly improved. I use the enzyme cleanser, aloe moisturizer, and a night cream. This facial spray is also amazing. You can spray as a toner, you can use it to set makeup, and you can even spray in hair! Smells great.”

While you may know Supergoop! for their line of superior suncare products, they also just so happen to have a bomb setting mist. On top of controlling oil, it delivers UV aging protection (SPF 50). Spritz it over your makeup for a long-lasting finish and for a little extra boost on a hot summer day. This weightless mist helps to control oil and shine while antioxidant-rich rosemary and mint keeps your skin’s complexion in check.  Says this Amazon customer, “I have combo/oily sensitive skin and I have purchased so many sunscreens for my face that either did not work well or made me break out. I am so happy I found Supergoop! I was skeptical reading the reviews about the product being oily and heavy – I disagree. I usually start my daily facial routine with the Mario Badescu moisturizer with spf 28. I reapply supergoop “over my makeup” throughout the day if I am out and about in the sun. I’ve used it hiking, swimming and playing tennis! I will be purchasing a second bottle. I live in San Diego so I carry this in my purse everywhere I go!”

If you instantly gravitated toward Evian’s Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray, then you have expensive tastes, my dear (and it’s not a bad thing!). It works to moisturize, refresh, and tone your skin to keep it hydrated 24/7. This micro-droplet mist can be spritzed on before your moisturizer or throughout the day to keep your makeup from melting off. Raves this Amazon customer, “I am hooked on this stuff. I have oily skin that also gets dried out easy- I really hit the jackpot… This stuff not only moisturizes, but it feels so refreshing too. I spray it on about 5 or 6 times a day. I wish I had found this stuff in my 20’s… The bottle lasts for a long time too- about 3 months. Well worth the price.” Another beauty babe suggests keeping it in your refrigerator for best results.

On the rare occasion that you put on a full face of makeup (foundation, who dis?), allow this HG beauty product to come through. In other words, don’t leave home without it. MAC’s Prep + Prime + Fix + Primer and Setting Spray works wonders. It comes in five different scents but we recommend the original soothing herbal spray which is loaded with vitamins and minerals—plus, a blend of green tea, chamomile, and cucumber to soothe and refresh your skin. If you’re the type of mama who likes to apply makeup in the a.m. and not have to worry about it ’til the end of the day, then this 12-hour misting spray was made for you. Says this Ulta customer, “I’ve heard so many beauty gurus talk about this spray so I bought the travel size to give it a try. I’m already half way through it! I’m obsessed. Not sure if this would be the best for someone with oily skin. But, due to my dryyy skin, it gives my makeup the perfect dewy finish and holds everything in place,” she says.
