A few days back, we told you about how exfoliating the skin keeps your makeup on for longer hours. But, there is more than one thing that leads to a face that retains its makeup all throughout the day. Makeup setting sprays are one of them. The right setting spray, will give your makeup a good finish and keep ‘your face on’ even after a night of hardcore clubbing. Read on to find our favourites.

This makeup fixer comes from a professional Italian cosmetics brand which has fans all over the world. Filled in a silver aerosol can, this gorgeous looking product is the perfect size to carry in your handbag. It easily holds your makeup in place for up to 8 hours, and it definitely holds better when you wear a good quality primer. The fixing spray also prevents shine, right from the time you apply it. Formulated with cosmetic alcohol, it evaporates instantly, allowing for your makeup to set beautifully. The spray works wonderfully for all skin types.

With just 4$ on the price tag, this makeup setting spray is highly under priced. But good for us, cuz’ we get an awesome makeup setting spray that not only improves the makeup’s wearability but also the skin’s health with its rich ingredient in a price that’s an absolute steal. This is suitable for all skin types, and if you have oily skin, you will particularly love this more as it mattifies your skin and keeps your foundation from getting cakey. Way to go, e.l.f!

This fixing spray from Rimmel is actually a hybrid – it works just as well as a primer and as a fixing spray. It has a beautiful fragrance and is quick-drying. It prevents makeup from looking cakey and does not dry out your skin. Both ways, this does an exceptional job despite being so affordable. We highly recommend trying this setting spray if you’re looking for a multifunctional product to enhance your makeup’s staying power and make it look stunning!

If you’ve seen enough number of YouTube videos, you would know what a cult following this product has. The Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray makes no promises it can’t keep. It literally keeps your makeup intact for all night. It is extremely comfortable to wear, and gives your skins a surge of moisture as soon as you spray it.What’s more? It stops your foundation from oxidizing and looking cakey. If that wasn’t enough, it also smells amazing!

This fixing spray from Makeup Revolution is perfect, if your makeup melts because of oily skin. Its formula effectively sucks up your skin’s excess oils, giving you a fresh face of makeup for almost 12 hours. But since the product does contain alcohol, we wouldn’t recommend it for people with sensitive skin. It also helps in reducing the powdery appearance one gets right after applying makeup. It’s most suited for normal, combination and oily skin types.

If you can’t seem to find a solution that stops your makeup from getting patchy or melted, all the while staying in a budget, then look nowhere else. This gentle spray manages to keep your makeup in place for long hours, while giving you a beautifully dewy finish (despite claiming to give a matte finish.) It also stops your foundation from getting cakey and oily towards the end of the day.

No list of makeup setting sprays is complete without mentioning this one. Its formula is a light-weight water that is enriched with vitamins and minerals. Infused with a blend of green tea, cucumber and chamomile, it soothes and refreshes skin, adds a boost of moisture and gives the makeup a dewy finish. A quick spritz of this spray will take your makeup from powdery to fresh.
