Middle of the road setting spray.

While browsing the kmart beauty section (as you do) I came across a black square looking bottle in the e.l.f section named mist and set, of course I was interested and so I brought it home with me for a review.

The bottle is fairly minimal, apart from the e.l.f logo and name of the product there are no instructions (there is a little bit of a how to use on the box however) or other details. It looks like a much more expensive product than it was.

When I started spraying the product it had a large droplet size that took a while to dry but when it did it seemed to be locked down for the day. The scent was lovely and refreshing, I could definitely smell the cucumber.

As to the setting part of it? I find my cheek and eye makeup to last a lot longer with it on. My eyeliner doesn't seem to smear as much and I look much fresher for longer. On the downside... The makeup on my nose just disappears after a few hours, which doesn't happen without the spray.

Do I love it? Not really, it's ok, but I'm still on the look out for an upgrade. Is it worth the purchase? Yes, if you give the spray enough time to dry and you don't mind a touch up or two throughout the day. My eye and cheek makeup has lasted so much longer with this product, unfortunately, my nose makeup cant say the same.

Tips: Make sure you hold the bottle quite far away from your face to get a more even droplet size and give it enough time to dry.

Wet

I decided to give this setting spray a try as I have had good experiences with e.l.f products in the past. This is only the second brand of setting spray that I have ever tried.

It comes in a black pump bottle with e.l.f embossed in white on the side. The bottle is 60ml. It is described as a "mist & set", so I guess it performs both functions, though I have only used it to set my makeup.

The spray is easy enough to use, though my main complaint is that it does not disperse its spray evenly. Rather than misting, it comes out in uneven wet drops, making parts of my face quite wet and leaving others parts dry. It does seem to set my makeup, but its wetness smudges my mascara, which did not happen with the other brand I used.

Altogether this spray is okay, but not great. I prefer the other brand I used before it, and probably will not repurchase this.

Tips: Apply your mascara after using this spray to avoid smudging it.

Does the job!

This spray feels and smells really refreshing for its price. If you don't give it a quick shake or spray it too close, you will get clumpy bits of spray that stick onto you. However you can rub it slightly and it will disperse. However its easy to learn where to hold and it what works for you, so it's not exactly a downside. The spray definitely helps the makeup stay in place, even lip cremes! And for the price you just can't beat it.

Does the trick with a bit of stick

So I ordered this (in a bit of an ELF haul) from iHerb, which was a lot of fun. It came all wet so I think it may have leaked a little bit?

Aside from that, this setting spray is really good. It doesn't come out too wet (and then doing the opposite by pulling the makeup off!) and I genuinely think that it really helped to keep my makeup on for longer. I would recommend it to others that don't have a setting spray and want to try something out because it's so affordable but the reason I wouldn't try it again is just because I've heard great things about other setting sprays that I think I might invest in next time.

All in all it's a great spray and it truly works so worth a shot!

Pretty good for drugstore

This setting spray does seem to do the job. Its cheap enough that I don't need to worry about how many sprays I do unlike what you see in Youtube videos and you're like "thats definitely a $5 spray right there" when they spray their high end setting sprays. my only downside is this isn't a great smelling product but it gets the job done. Its not a chunky mist and its not super fine - a nice spray thats not going to spray you in the eye.

good for the price.

I picked this up from Kmart when it first came in and was pleasantly surprised! It settled the powders on my face and got rid of the cakey look that sometimes follows after powdering down the foundation. It definitely extends the wear of your makeup but it doesn't smell all that good.

Amazing for dry skin

I got this off iherb for $4NZ! I have dry skin and have never been able to use powder to set my foundation or to contour with, but since using the elf mist and set I can set my foundation with powder, use a couple spritzes of the spray over top of powder and it sets amazingly, no dry patches or cakeyness at all. It definitely hydrates my skin which makes my foundation look flawless for longer.

e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set

This is a rather watery setting spray. Gives my make up an oily look after setting my powder. Wouldn't buy again.

Good for the price

I had heard that this was a good cheap setting spray and when I saw the price I just had to get it. I think this setting spray does a decent job but there are definitely better setting sprays out there. However for the price you pay its definitely worth it. I found that it does set my make up but it won't last for he whole day.

I found that this spray leaves your skin feeling a bit sticky and tacky until t dries. It does take a few minutes to dry. This is the main thing I dislike about this product.

Overall for the price you pay I would definitely recommend giving it a go. I probably wouldn't purchase this again as I would be willing to pay more for a higher quality product, but for the price it is you can't really expect anything more.

Lengthens wear time, hydrates, but doesn't set

I have very oily skin and I struggle to find anything that keeps my eye shadow from creasing within an hour and make up creasing, no matter what mattifying products I use, I'm just an oily person. I've yet to find a setting spray to truly make my make up last all day, the only thing that does is hair spray! I decided to give this a go as it was cheap compared to other setting sprays, and I figured it couldn't hurt. I found this wasn't useless as it does hydrate your make-up, and prevent fading and increase the longevity of make up, but by no means is it a miracle worker.

The product comes in a simple black pump bottle with white writing. The writing scratches off pretty quick so it looks ugly, but to be expected for the price. The pump does tend to spray the mist unevenly so you may end up with quite wet patches on certain areas of your face. The scent is barely detectible, it just smells fresh. This dries down pretty quickly and doesn't wet your make-up like the Australis one. I was impressed to find that this did prevent my eye shadow from fading as quickly and improved the longevity of my eye shadow, concealer and foundation, and this did far more than more expensive setting sprays have done for me. This is very hydrating and is great as a make up mist. However, don't expect this to perform like the Urban Decay setting spray and prevent your make up from budging, it didn't for me, I still ended up with shiny worn make up by the end of the day. However, this did enough to improve my make up to justify the price and I would use it again.
