good morning lovelies, what is the best setting spray you've tried. I have the elf one, it's ok but am wondering if anyone has a kick a@@ one they would recommend.

I've only used one setting spray and it was the NYX Matte Setting Spray.  I found that it worked for me.  NYX also do a Dewy Setting Spray, if you're not a fan of Matte.

I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay's All Nighter setting spray but I also like MACs Fix Plus. I've also used a Tony Moly bunny setting spray that I didn't like (it was too perfumed).

What do you want it to do? I'm a big fan of setting sprays but with my dry skin, I like them to just 'dewy' up my skin more than actually setting everything in place. ?I haven't tried anything highend before. I like the Australis one (It has a very heavy rose scent which I love but you may not like if you don't like rose!). The elf is ok, not my fave. I am currently using the la girl one. I  think it helps prolong makeup and it sprays out really fine and dries quickly too.I'd love to try mac fix+ and any of the urban decay ones out one day!

I second the Urban Decay one it is probably my favourite, the spray is fine and it really works well at setting your makeup. Not a big fan of MAC fix+ I didn't find the spray was particularly good. You'll find plenty of reviews of both on here.

Love the sound of the Australis one Rezee! Love the idea of the rose scent.

I've heard good things about the NYX one and I've also heard good things about the LA Girl one.

I'm currently using the LA girl pro setting HD definition spray and so far it's pretty good. Before that I was using urban decay and bossy cosmetics one.

Hi adelewarburton,
I am using “Urban Decay Setting Spray” and I think it’s a good product.

I've been wondering if the Bossy Cosmetics one does the job or if it's really just more of a spray toner? I've never used a setting spray but I've had my eyes on that one.

I've only tried the Australis and e.l.f setting sprays. I felt the Australis one wasn't that great, but the e.l.f one okay. Would be interested to know if there are any better ones out there too? I'm keen to try the NYX one, especially since they have a dewy finish one like someone else has mentioned on the post earlier :-) I think they are pretty affordable from memory too.

Salem it lasts me up to 5 solid hours. Im hoping BR would add it to the site. I requested it a few weeks ago fingers crossed. Not heavily scented had no reactions on my combination skin.

Macs- That sounds pretty good, and thats good to know you haven't had any issues with it, I have combination skin also. I've seen it in the Avon brochures a couple of times lately and was thinking of trying it out so I will, not too expensive either.

I really want to try the urban decay one,
did everyone order online?

I've used the LA girl one from postie and it's okay, i've got oily skin so need something a bit tougher!

Lol....what should I say about this thread because I haven't try any makeup setting spray. I am alian......hahaha.
 I had sukin mist and you can use it top of your makeup. It's gives you dawy finish and nice rose water smell. I liked it actually.

macs I was also thinking to get Avon one but not sure it is good or not.

I have Skindinavia setting spray which I think is really great. Make up lasts for hours and hours.

Rajvee I never used setting sprays. I was lucky to get this in as a gift. I cant bring myself to spend big on it. I am happy with Avon spray. I wonder if they do samples for them . I would go for a cheaper on like la girl or elf.

I bought the Avon spray when it first came out. I personally didn't like it though. I can't remember exactly why now, I think it may have dried out my skin more?It is pretty cheap and is a big bottle too. The la girl is cheap but it's a super small bottle. It must only be 20 or 30mls at most. I could go check but I'm in the lounge and it's in my room!

I've only used a couple of setting sprays and to be honest they don't make much difference and I'm not sure why, maybe I'm using it wrong.  I find it just makes my face feel wet and then my makeup then looks not quite right ha ha ha
