5 Setting Sprays to Help Your Look Last All Day

Setting spray is a staple that might not be in your makeup kit yet, but absolutely should be. Whether you prefer full glam, a soft beat, or a no-makeup makeup look, a good setting spray will help lock in your look for smudge-proof, crease-proof, all-day wear. Here’s a roundup of some of our favourites.

The Ultra-Dewy Look: MILK, Hydro Grip Set + Refresh Spray

MILK’s Hydro Grip spray is formulated with hemp-derived cannabis seed and moringa seed oils—both of which provide an extra shot of hydration while locking in moisture. The result? A breathable, dewy look.

The Tried-And-True: Urban Decay, All Nighter Waterproof Setting Spray

This setting spray has been inducted into the Allure Best of Beauty Award’s hall of fame. And for good reason. The legendary formula features Temperature Control Technology, meaning it works to lower the temperature of your makeup, which then helps to lock it in place.

The Fan Favourite: Rare Beauty, Always An Optimist 4-In-1 Mist

Rare Beauty’s Always an Optimist 4-In-1 Mist hydrates, primes, sets, and refreshes skin. Made with a botanical blend of lotus, gardenia, and white waterlily, this mist soothes and calms skin while niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate moisturize, plump and smooth. Because of its formula, you can spray Always an Optimist before or after makeup application for a fresh and radiant finish.

The Stay-All-Day: One/Size, On ‘Til Dawn Setting Spray

Created by professional MUA and influencer Patrick Starrr, the One/Size On ‘Til Dawn Setting Spray went viral last year when fans on TikTok discovered it was the setting spray keeping Beyoncé’s makeup intact on her Renaissance world tour. If it’s good enough for Bey, it’s good enough for us, too.

For Sensitive Skin: Tower 28, SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray

While it’s not a traditional setting spray, the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray is a great option for people with sensitive skin who are looking to soothe and hydrate their skin. Formulated with hypochlorous acid, an antimicrobial acid that is incredibly effective at killing bacteria, this facial spray helps to calm the skin, support the skin barrier, keep flare-ups at bay, and leave you with a much-needed boost of hydration.
