I swear by Ben Nye Final Seal. It's never let me down. I read that Disney princesses use it so that's how I got started. Great stuff! I buy the large bottle which is pretty pricey but it lasts me quite a while and I just keep replenishing the small spray bottle.

I don’t use setting spray however I seen Milani the most on here. It’s highly rated too. “Make it last orginal “ in clear container

The nyx matte setting spray in the black bottle works great! I have both the Urban Decay and the charlotte tilbury setting sprays and the nyx compares favorably, if not a bit better than both of those.

L’Oréal Infallible, LA Girl PRO Perfect Oil Control, and ELF Blue Light Blocker setting sprays are my drugstore faves. Not exactly dupes for the ID spray but those work for me.

For a hydrating setting spray, the Milani Make It Last is fabulous, for a true fixing spray to lock your base in place, the one by Revolution Beauty is fantastic. The ELF spray in the white bottle is tops, too, just don’t bother with their dewy set one in the teal packaging.

For a more dubious (skincare wise) rec, I occasionally use cheap hairspray to set my makeup at the very end. 👀

I went to 2 night concert in LA last weekend and used the loreal setting spray. the red can like hairspray, lol. I stood in line in the sun for hours, enjoyed the concert and my makeup was intact each night. it DOES feel like spraying hairspray on your face but the shit worked.

Nyx Matt spray is the best, I love it. You might try that one, it's one of the best selling and even my make survives my work outs with it.

If you shake it really well ita decent.

But honestly, I just tried KimChi Chic Beauty Stage Proof setting spray and it's ny new holy grail. It's amazing and like half the price of UD.

i sometimes like to use the oil control one before foundation as a layer to help combat my oils from breaking apart my foundation but i think as a topping setting spray, all of the versions suck.

Sometimes they work as a layer before foundation

Oh no! Your hair. Were you able to get out easily or did it mess it up?

If they don't you can just buy the Skindinavia sprays, they're cheaper and work better imo, love the primer spray in particular

I worked for an aerosol manufacturer company and I learned way way too much about aerosols when I was there.,I can put you all to sleep by talking an about it. But it’s fascinating stuff. Yes they can analyze the mist and spray patters, etc.

I love this formula but I hate the current nozzle and pump. I hope they fix where you do t need to aggressively shake the bottle to aerate the product. I know many users complain about white flecks on their face because they forget to mix it first.

The real question we all want the answer to is: does the All-Nighter still smell like spit/saliva? 😩😩 I fucking loved the original formula but damn if it didn't smell really weird, so they better have made it plain or floral or something!!!

Try skindinavia if it doesnt work for you

Hmmmmmmmmm I don't think the glow one smelled as funny as the original black/purple bottle one so now you've got me wondering

(Who am I kidding I'll buy the new one anyway if it still glues my makeup onto my oil slick of a face ✌️😔✌️ even if it smelled like a fart)

Yes!! Comparing it to my MAC it was like I was getting sprayed with water. Sucks because I like the formula but can’t stand the effing nozzle

This post says something about a 22% finer mist 🤣

Wonder if they are doing their own formula or if they're still working with Skindinavia

I hate them all. I agree, they texturize my face. Im 45, and without spray I look pretty smooth. Past week ive been trialing sprays and I look SO CAKEY.

What I do use everyday and love, because it just takes the powder down and melts everything together (I don't like to look super matte): Mario Badescu Rosewater spray, the OG pink one,. It really just mimics what my skin does naturally after several hours of wear.

I know some people have issues with MB (moral not skin issues), so really any rosewater could work but I cant vouch. I've tried MB and another brand, and I prefer the MB. It's HG for me, forever repurchase.

I use the Morphe, seems to keep my makeup in place all day and is reasonably priced.

I really like the Caliray setting spray. It’s incredibly light and refreshing.

Please try EADEM, Caliray, too faced hangover, rare, Patrick ta, refy

Since you like MAC fix+, I'd recommend the Rare Beauty setting spray. I found it to be super similar to Fix+ while providing longer lasting makeup (Fix+ doesn't do much for me). It also helps makeup melt into place; you just need to remember to shake it. There's also the Milk Makeup hydrogrip setting spray (also needs to be shaken); I'd only recommend that one if you like dewy makeup and if you don't mind the strong nozzle.

kimchi chic stage proof matte

nyx marshmallow

Revolution now has at least 4 setting sprays - have you tried any of those? One is the Fix&Glow, which I've been eyeing but haven't gotten yet.

I really enjoy Wet N Wild's spray to melt my makeup together (as far as drug store I find it the most similar to Fix+ that I've found) and to make my makeup last longer I like Milani's Make It Last. I even prefer Milani's above Urban Decay

I live in California, so probably not the MOST humid place but I think the Milani setting spray has worked well for me!!

I like the Milani setting Spray. It’s around $10. I have been tempted to try the Morphe one, though. I tend to use up the Milani very quickly.

I really enjoy the NYX dewy setting spray and primer setting spray. Love both of them and helps keep my highlighter on and locked in for longer amounts of time. It’s 8$ with taxes for a decent sized part bottle and they sell them in Ulta/Target/Walmart and some CVS.

Nyx is by far the best budget friendly I found so far :)

If I spray it too close or too much, it can cause some run, especially if I haven’t used setting powder. Best results for me, spray at arms length and walk into it. No drips and it holds.

How close to you face are you spraying the product?

I don’t like it either and won’t repurchase, glad I bought the smaller size. I am using CT now, but sometimes use the UD on my brush with eyeshadow. Not sure why it is so highly recommended?

I would suggest trying a setting powder! They absorb oil throughout the day and you can reapply if you get shiny.
