What is Setting Spray?
Setting spray is applied as the final step in a makeup routine to help hold base, contour, and colour products together. It forms a light, invisible layer over the skin that supports makeup wear.
Different formulas offer varying benefits, including mattifying, hydrating, or radiance-enhancing effects.

For those with dry or tight-feeling skin, supporting hydration with routines from dry skin skincare can improve comfort when using setting sprays.
