Eh...

I find that its quite clumpy and doesnt spray very finely for even coverage. It has a bit of an odd smell, and I find that I have to use a powder brush to pat it dry and evenly on my face. Its great for the price, but I feel like when my bottle is finished, I might try another product in place of this one.

Tips: I find I need to use a powder brush to get even coverage and for it to dry quickly.

Just OMG

This setting spray really set my bakeup and gave it a really nice natural looking finish. I found it hydrated my skin nicely and did not make my makeup look cakey or thick.

Didn't work for me

This was the first setting spray that I ever purchased, and I really wanted to love it. Unfortunately I found that it didn't do anything for me.

I bought this for about $10 from Kmart. The packaging looks and feels quite cheap as it is made from thin plastic, but it is a budget brand so I guess that's to be expected. The spray has a sort of fresh cucumber smell, but I didn't really like it.

The spray is very wet. Even if you only apply a little bit, it really soaks your face. I also found that the nozzle didn't evenly spray the liquid onto my face. Some places on my face would still be dry, while other parts would have large water droplets. However the wetness of this product did remove any 'cakeyness' on my face. The finish of this product is dewy, but it can also leave you looking a bit greasy if you have oily skin like me. If you're looking for a setting spray that leaves you looking matte, then this isn't the product for you.

I didn't find that this product helped to set my makeup or make it last longer, which was the reason I purchased it in the first place. I continued to use this spray for a month, but it ended up leaking in my makeup bag so I chucked it out. I definitely wouldn't repurchase it.

Tips: once my makeup is done i spray my face till its almost dripping and let sit for about 1 min then dab down with my beauty blender.

also sometime i spray a few squirts in my foundation before applying

not sold

I really wanted to like this as I really like so much e.l.f does... But alas... it was not to be!

I find it's not so misty as such, more of an in between mist & spray.. a little too wet for my liking. I don't feel it does anything to improve the lasting power of my make up nor the radiance of my skin...

I do like the packaging.. A square black bottle. sleek & a great size. easy to hold with one hand.

I'm really just using this now to wet brushes for eye shadows.

Tips: Spray before you put mascara on. it's fairly wet.

Great Mist ... not so sure on the Set

A long time ago I picked this up in an iherb order. e.l.f. makeup etc is just so cheap that I can never hold back from popping a few more things into my cart. I think I was also on the hunt for a new spray anyway as my Urban Decay one I had just finished and I really didn't want to spend the money to repurchase.

I actually really like the packaging of this product. It has a black square bottle with a sprayer on the top. I find the spray on this is really quite fine so I would even compare the spray to my beloved Urban Decay spray.

To me I don't smell anything when using this. Sometimes I wonder whether I have gotten tricked into purchasing water in a spray bottle (although it was quite cheap so I don't really mind that much if I was). My favourite reason for using something like this is because I have a tendency to over powder my face and make it look very cakey. With a few spritz of this product the cakey-ness goes away and I look like I have skin again. I don't think the ingredients of Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber etc actually do anything for my skin but it is a nice spray. I really don't think this does make my makeup last longer but it certainly makes it look nicer while it is on my face and I love that.

I think I would repurchase this when I run out. I don't think it does anything special, but I don't think that the more expensive versions of this can be justified when they don't do anything different than this product.

average product

This product is so average. It literally just feels like water in a bottle it doesn't set makeup or allow it to last any longer. I would use this as a face prepping spray (not primer spray) or to spray on a beauty blender to dampen it

Tips: dont spray too close to the face

Bang for your buck

I can't lie, this is the only makeup mist/setter that I have tried - I am a little lazy for everyday makeup and really just hope it will last the work day. This is my second bottle of this product and for the price, I think it is a great option!

I usually spray this lightly over my powder foundation to take away the 'powdery' look. It has a light scent and feels nice on your skin. I believe it does set my make up for a day at work; I don't notice my makeup falling or smudging throughout the day and it keeps my makeup from looking dry. Quite frankly, it does the job for what I need!

I am sure there are better makeup mists/setters but for the price, I think this is a fabulous option!

Tips: Great value for money. Spray at an arms length away.

Decent priced make up setter

This is an added extra I popped onto an iHerb order-I had seen it on YouTube a few times and thought I'd give it a shot. It is quite a small, square shaped black spray bottle. When I have finished my makeup application I spritz this on. The spray is not overly fine and misting- I notice spots of liquid in my face after using this, almost like bits of large glitter, though after a minute or two it dries. I use powder to set my face so I like to use this after to soften the powdery look, I sometimes feel like the powder makes my face hairs more noticeable and the spray seems to eliminate that problem. It says it has Aloe, Green Tea and other nutrients but I cannot say that I noticed any additional benefits from these. My makeup lasts all day- I always use a mist of some sort at the end of my makeup application so I can't really compare it to not using a mist, but it does just as well as any of the other brands I use- loccitane, Skinn, Mario Badescu, dermalogica and even the Evian spray.

Amazing for how cheap it is

This product is the first setting spray I ever used and I have to say, for how cheap it is, it sure does its job. After applying foundation, powders etc, this product does really well for making it stick and last all day. It does however take a while to dry and set in due to the most coming out in rather large droplets. But once it is set it, it leaves you with a dewy finish. This is definitely a product that you can rely on to keep your makeup fresh and looking perfect ever during a night out in town.

Highly recommended for those who are on a budget but need that extra bit of help keeping it on all day.

Tips: Apply at arms length so it doesn't apply too thickly and leave marks in your foundation. And also do a test spray just to make sure it is working well before applying.
