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!
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 :)
