A forever favourite, this is the only setting spray I constantly re-stock and swear by. Not only does it keep my make-up in place for hours on end, it gives me a natural hydrated glow, whilst also allowing my skin to look like

NYX Matte Finish, Dhs53 at Namshi

After a full face-beat, a lightweight product that gives a matte finish is all I need, and this NYX Matte Finish setting spray does just that. The formula gives you a hydrated matte finish helps and also prevents make-up products from running, sliding and fading. 10/10 would deff recommend.

Urban Decay All-Nighter Long Lasting Setting Spray, Dhs145 at Sephora

Urban Decay setting sprays have been my ride-or-die for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s their All-Nighter Long Lasting Setting Spray, or De-Slick Complexion Spray, your make-up won’t move throughout the day. And yes, I mean even in this heat! The easyto-use pump and microfine mist sits comfortably on top of your lewk with just a couple of spritzes. What more could we ask for?

Cover FX High Performance Setting Spray, Dhs156 at Sephora

Honestly, whoever invented the concept of setting spray, was a genius. One of my most frequent struggles with applying products was feeling like my face was dry, caked and in need of post-make-up moisture. My favourite these days is the Cover FX High Performance Setting Spray – not only does it seal in and protect makeup, it also refreshes and uplifts the skin.

Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Setting Spray, Dhs174 at Sephora

Too Faced may be best known for their Born This Way foundation (which, let’s be honest, is basically the eighth wonder of the world), but I must admit, their Hangover 3-in-1 Setting Spray is just next level. From the scent to the outcome, this baby is here to stay – literally! And we stan that power.
