Best Make Up Setting Spray?

24 replies

IDidntFloatUpTheLaganInABubble · 15/02/2022 13:17

I an so sick of my make up seemingly sliding off my face by lunchtime. I did buy a cheap setting spray, revlon or similar but it's pointless.

Any that can be recommended? Not fussed on price as long as it works!

Urban decay all nighter. My make up has survived some pretty intense nights out whilst using it!

IDidntFloatUpTheLaganInABubble · 15/02/2022 13:44

Thank you, will have a look at that now.

I was coming on to say the same! UD all nighter works a treat for me.
They do a few different setting sprays but this one holds firm on my face.
I recently tried the hourglass setting spray and was disgustingly disappointed- it turned my face into a sweaty looking greasy face from the outset! I shan’t make that mistake again!!
I’ve got a few different ones in my drawer but I always end up just using the same old one that I know nails it.

Just had a look on the John Lewis website and it has over 13k 5 star ratings and 4.7 on average. Will pick some up tomorrow and hope that can save my face!

Another vote for U.D. I have the greasiest skin you can imagine but this is amazing, it keeps me shine free for 6 hours which for me is a miracle.

I use NYX which I really like but haven't tested many

Another urban decay fan here 🙌

abbs1 · 15/02/2022 14:35

Ive been using rimmel for about 5 years now. Works really well!

CustardCreamm · 15/02/2022 14:42

Urban Decay All Nighter here too!

pumpkinpie01 · 15/02/2022 14:48

Urban Decay without a doubt .This sounds awful but on my hen do I actually had my make up on for about 30 hours it was still immaculate!

IDidntFloatUpTheLaganInABubble · 15/02/2022 14:50

I have used a few and agree the UD one is defo the best

loveisagirlnameddaisy · 15/02/2022 14:54

Yep, UD all nighter here too. It's amazing.

I tend to not put my mascara on before spraying (or make sure you don't blink for a good 30 secs!).

IDidntFloatUpTheLaganInABubble · 15/02/2022 15:50

Pretty unanimous, will buy that and look at NYX or rimmel should that not work. Thank you all

I use a cheap and cheerful elf one but tempted to get the urban decay one. Also agree with the above advice about spraying before mascara. Also have found eyeshadow primer makes a huge difference to how my eye make up lasts, no creasing/vanishing etc

pumpkinpie01 · 15/02/2022 21:37

@IDidntFloatUpTheLaganInABubble ha ha yea it was a laugh , I just looked at myself in the mirror in the morning my hair all over the place and then thought ' oh but hang on my make up is still intact ' I was way too hungover to even contemplate washing my face 😂

Urban decay all nighter

Another vote for UD all nighter!

There’s quite a funny review of a woman who was in a car crash but her makeup survived thanks to UD! Grin

I'm using an Avon one that's pretty good, I think it's £6 but often on offer for £3. It's not bad for the price if you want a cheapy one. I have very oily skin and it definitely makes a difference. I spray it onto a make brush and sort of blot it over my foundation before powder. I find that more effective than just spraying

It's the best. At christmas they often sell double pack for cheaper so it's a good chance to stock up

I bought urban decay all nighter on the basis of recommendations here.
Road tested it today. Full face on for the school run, then an hour at the gym and in the sauna (looked a bit odd but all in the name of research!) and here I am after the rest of the day stripping and making the beds and .... apart from touching up my loopy after eating, nothing has moved!
I look about 95% the same as when I put my make up on 6 hours ago. Very impressed! Although I expected miracles given the price

auberginefeathers · 17/02/2022 14:04

Lippy, not bloody loopy!

IDidntFloatUpTheLaganInABubble · 19/02/2022 15:19

Just reporting back to say thanks...I actually returned from a day out looking more or less like I did when I left. Pretty amazing stuff and so pleased not to get home at the end of the day looking a tired, oily mess!
