Best make up setting spray.

Could I please have some opinions on setting spray?
i’ve used the L’Oréal infaillible and it certainly does the job but it feels a bit much, like hairspray.
I’ve also tried iconic London which didn’t set my make up at all.
I do wish there were samples available of all skin care and cosmetics.
thanks.

Urban decay all nighter is the absolute best on the market they have recently reformulated and they offer natural which is gorgeous dewy and matte !
I literally have super sensitive can b oily skin even at 50 my makeup stays fresh all day !! John Lewis stock or any place online !

I have also tried Charlotte Tilbury had good reviews but it has something that's not good for skin that clogs and I had big bumps under jaw line literally after a week of use !
Cleared up after I stopped using ! Hth x

I’ve given up with them. I find the hourglass loose powder far more effective

If you want it to make your makeup to basically stick to your face need a fixing spray not a setting spray, they're different. A setting spray blends your makeup together and helps it last longer, but a fixing spray will lock the makeup to your face- which is why it tends to be like hairspray.

I haven't tried it yet but MCO Beauty have the original Urban Decay formula after UD fired the original manufacturer and changed the formula https://www.superdrug.com/make-up/face/make-up-setting-spray-sealer/mcobeauty-all-dayer-long-lasting-makeup-setting-spray-118ml/p/868123?gclsrc=aw.ds&gadsource=1&gadcampaignid=22603647318&gbraid=0AAAAADp4mz8hSOVckAFmAAziBP5-68woG&gclid=CjwKCAjw-rTUBhAiEiwADv8gBPoajfF5mSyslvd4G6YsZ18fqxFi-OjVJ3PhVqf5c9NvQtx82ayRoCwsQQAvDBwE

Elf power grip dewy is very good.

Love the L’Oréal setting spray in the red bottle.

Revolution Sport Fix is incredible and dirt cheap. The only thing that's ever stopped my face sliding off by midday!

The OG All Nighter formula was by Skindinavia and Urban Devay no longer have the rights to use it. (Skindinavia still sell it)

Charlotte Tilbury’s is fantastic (although I’m loathe to admit I like her products, she irritates me so much 😅).
