The 15 Best Setting Sprays for Long-Lasting Makeup 2023

Publish date: 2024-05-31

What is setting spray, anyway?

Setting spray is an alcohol- or water-based product that prolongs the wear of your makeup for several hours.

How should you use setting spray?

Spray on two to three spritzes, from about six inches away from your face (any closer and you risk messing up your makeup). Then, be sure to let the spray set for about 10 seconds.

Setting spray should be used once all your makeup is on, to ensure the spray can "lock in" all the layers of makeup. However, some formulas also act as priming mists, which can be used before foundation as well—read the instructions to find out if your product does both functions.
