I wondered

So now I know why I can’t find this in store anymore, it’s really disappointing that this has been discontinued.

I went between Matte and dewy finish.

Both products are really the same besides the finish the matte isn’t as sleek and glossy as the dewy. It’s more of a harsher finish if I’m wording that correctly.

It worked well and defiantly kept make up in place.

Definitely Matte

I have oily skin, so whenever I wear makeup, I like to have matte finish look. I bought this from makeup.co.nz after reading great reviews about it. It’s a clear liquid contained in a 60ml black plastic spray bottle. To me in smells like glue, but not as strong. The matte setting spray is created with a water-based formula.

Once I’ve finished applying makeup on my face and let it set for around five minutes before I sprayed the matte setting spray approximately 30cm away from my face. It sprays as a mist and I made sure to use an even amount around my face. If I over sprayed it, I just lightly dabbed a tissue on my face to remove any excess mist. After the matte spray set, it gave my makeup a matte finish and it lasted the whole day. I also had no need to top it up throughout the day and my natural oils didn’t shine through. The spray was very light weight and it didn’t give a sticky feel on my face.

This spray is very affordable for its great quality. This is perfect for anyone with oily skin or just someone who is wanting a matte finish look.

Tips: Hold the bottle around 25-30cm away from the face, to get more of an even spray on the face.

Perfect budget spray

I have very VERY oily skin. So it is almost impossible for a drugstore foundation to last on my skin for more than an hour - less so in summer - without a primer or a setting spray. That's why I splurge on Estee Lauder double wear stay in place. However, in summer that mask of a foundation also tend to move around the nose and apple of the cheek area within 3 hours. So a setting spray is a must have in my routine. Now, I haven't used any high-end sprays, just drugstore brands. But from among them this works the best for me even without a primer underneath. The only other brand comes even close is the E.L.F one.

Tips: Complete your makeup. Spray this all over the face keeping about 1 feet's distance between the face and the spray nozzle. I spray 5-6 times. Then immediately fan your face using a small book or a cardboard until the spray dries. This will take about 30-60 seconds depending on how much you sprayed.

Matte and Flawless

I love the idea of setting sprays but haven't really found one that I love that isn't a high-end item. We were lucky enough to finally get NYX at Farmers I knew I had to get my hands on the setting spray I had heard so much about!

The bottle seemed a bit smaller than other setting sprays that I had tried in the past so it wasn't as nice to hold in your hands like the Urban Decay range. The nozzle worked a treat - I always panic with lower priced items that have a nozzle incase the spray isn't even and it ends of feeling like drops of rain on your face. But this evenly distributed the product in a lovely fine mist!

The product itself doesn't really have a scent and is very light weight, it settles down any powders on your face and sets everything ready for you to take on the day!

I have tried both the Matte and Dewy finishes and I slightly prefer the Dewy for a bit more of a natural look for everyday wear, but they both preform the same and do a great job making sure the make-up stays put!

Tips: You can also use this spray on a eyeshadow brush to get a better result with some eyeshadows and loose glitters.

Set and Forget

I really wanted to buy the Dewy Finish version, having seen the amazing reviews on BR, but the Matte version was the only one in stock at the time (those reviews must have worked!). The Matte spray was my first ever setting spray and it's really good. It feels a bit weird spraying liquid on your face after makeup, but it dries really quickly without leaving any tide marks or drips. The nozzle doesn't clog and it releases a fine mist (a tip I got from another reviewer was to extend your arm, bend the elbow at 90 degrees and then spray - perfect distance!) It sets powder and takes away that floury look, without making your face shiny (I have an oily T-zone so this is quite good for me), and there's no stickiness either. And it helps your makeup stay in place without drifting, which is awesome! It has a slight chemical smell which doesn't last long, and that's about the only negative I can think of!

Tips: You can use it to get a stronger pigment payoff with eyeshadow - spray your brush and then dab in shadow. Not sure if this is what you're 'supposed' to do but it works :)

Great price and great product

When nyx came to farmers, I knew I had to pick this up. I heard lots about good things about their setting sprays before and was on the look out for a better one. I suffer from oily combination skin so I thought this one would be better to try. You only need a couple sprays of this each time. It makes your face way less shiny and it helps your make up stay on for a lot longer, I was so surprised what with how my make up looked after a long day of wearing it. I think will be a staple in my make up collection!

Affordable setting spray!

I've been using this setting spray on and off for approximately 3 years, between this one and their dewy setting spray they're very good and affordable products. I have normal to combination skin and find this product works very well with my skin, especially when my skin is breaking out and I need more protection keeping the greasiness at bay.

The matte setting spray comes in a matte black bottle, and when you spray this on your skin it feels like a fine mist of spray. 3-4 sprays and Im good to go, I enjoy the fine mist more than the regular heavy sprays. It doesn't completely set my makeup to a matte finish but it mattes it down just enough that it is matte and still looks like theres a bit of glow to your face. I really like how it absorbs all of the excess powder on my face and it doesnt interfere with the lash glue like some setting sprays do when Im wearing false eyelashes.

I also have a bottle of the travel size that I keep in my handbag, at the end of the day my t-zone begins to get oily and my foundation starts to look greasy, thats where the setting spray is mostly helpful, a few sprays to my face and a light blot makes my foundation look as good as new.

I would highly recommend this, its good on your pocket and works really well with normal to combination skin.

Tips: Purchase their travel size to keep in your handbag, its a must have in my handbag.

Pretty OK setting spray

I didn't know what to expect with the NYX matte setting spray. I don't normally put that much make up on and usually it all disappears at the end of the day. This setting spray helps the make up stay on a little bit better but it doesn't work miracles.

I didn't notice any mattifying effects of the setting spray, however it definitely didn't make me any shinier.

The scent is pretty minimal and the spray is pretty even. Three or four spritzes usually are enough for me. It dries pretty fast and I immediately forget I'm wearing it.

YAASSS it has the power!

Going over to the cruelty free side has seen some of my favourite things ever get tossed aside and the search begin for a better version. As was the case with a setting spray. My first choice has actually managed to do good, not great but its enough for now.

Coming in a black plastic spray bottle, the downside is that, it is complete black out so you have to rely on the weight decrease to tell you when you are set to run out. With NYX at limited Farmers stores this could be a nightmare if you run out on the day needed and don't leave near a Farmers, be they do ship and Beauty Bliss have them with overnight courier so if you can't bear to go even a day without setting, I suggest buying two.

Spray creates a nice even mist that doesn't soak the face, rather offers a light refreshing moment before instant setting. No crazy hand waving or forcing your face in front of a fan to get it to set. Just spray and go!

There isn't any smell to the liquid, well none that registered with me, which is nice after you have finished beating your face to perfection. Once dried it sinks into the liquids and/or powders on your face and helps them blend together then sit still all day. The matte effect isn't the greatest ever, especially on days when I go out of my way to glow, so that is nice for those who aren't too oily. I wouldn't recommend it as a matte spray that is the only reason it doesn't get full marks.

For me it is a perfect dupe for the product I was aiming to replace, and for a lot cheaper too. So win win.
