7 Setting Sprays To Prolong Your Make-Up During Party Season
BEST ALL ROUNDER
All Nighter Setting Spray, £19.60 | Urban Decay
This setting spray is iconic for a reason – not only does it ensure make-up looks fresh for up to 16 hours at time without fading, smudging or settling into fine lines, the vegan, temperature-controlled formula makes it the perfect match for humidity. A go-to for those who want to lock down a full face of make-up, the lightweight mist will set, hold and even make skin appear smoother.

BEST PRIMER
FIX+ Spray, £21 (was £28) | MAC
A staple in any backstage make-up kit, this lightweight mist is ideal for fixing a finished look or for freshening up your make-up throughout the day. In addition to the original much-loved botanical scent, the formula is now available in calming lavender, tropical coconut and cheering rose scents, too.

BEST FLAWLESS FINISH
Continuous Setting Mist, £17 | Morphe
Thanks to its continuous, air-powered spray, spritzing this all over will set make-up of all textures, without turning it patchy. Not only does it lock things down, but it also creates a flawless, radiant finish. Simply hold it eight to ten inches away from your face and mist.

BEST DEWY FINISH
Professional Makeup Setting Spray Dewy, £5.25 | NYX
Despite its affordable price tag, this drugstore option delivers powerful results. By day, it adds a soft glow to the skin and by night, you can use it to make bolder make-up looks pop. Simply spritz it onto a damp beautyblender before blending out a powder highlighter for a dramatic strobing effect.

BEST DEWY FINISH
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, £30 | Charlotte Tilbury
Longevity is the goal here – but the benefits of this spray don’t end there. Full of calming, replenishing aloe vera, softening Japanese green tea and an aromatic detoxifying resin, it definitely sits within the skincare-as-make-up category. Use it to prep your skin before you apply foundation and spritz another layer on afterwards to keep everything in place.

BEST PORE MINIMISER
Pore Eclipse Setting Spray, £17.60 (was £22) | Milk Makeup
Noticeable pores are normal, but a good setting spray will help blur, smooth and reduce their appearance for a more flawless looking complexion. Milk’s new launch does exactly that, with its mattifying formula. Ideal if you’re not a fan of the wet look, this will keep make-up in place for parties or throughout the working day.

Part of the brand’s ‘Veil’ collection, this spray melts powders together and lock everything in place. Undetectable and lightweight, add this to your make-up routine to enhance that natural-looking finish.
