Foundation setting spray/mist

I like Urban Decay Dew Me. They have a range of setting sprays but this is the moisturising one for dry skin types. I tend to apply base, eyeliner, eyeshadow and blusher etc, spray, go do my hair and brush my teeth, then apply mascara, as I've found it causes smudges if used too soon before or after mascara.
The spray doesn't feel heavy and doesn't make make up look 'cakey', although I do find after a long day and night my make up can look a little 'dried in' in places... Having said that, without the spray the make up would just be gone from my face!
Don't forget to shake the bottle well to mix the product, if you don't it won't dry

I definitely think it's beneficial. I used to always get problems with my makeup where it'd go patchy or melt off. I actually bought a cheap MUA setting mist (think it was £4) and it does the job nicely!

I use an ELF one and it's great. The only downside if you need to hold it arms length from your face to get a mist, rather than a soaking! That could probably be fixed by changing the bottle but Couldn't be bothered

Where did you get this, if you don't mind me asking?

I got it up the North in Enniskillen, in Superdrug. I believe it's Superdrug's makeup line so they probably only do it there. Worth it, though!

Hi Guys! For me , it has to be the M.A.C Fixing Spray! This is a godsend. Just to give you and idea...

So im a serial beauty buyer. If its out there.. then iv tried it. I get a lot of stick in good nature of my friends for this. So last year on holidays the girls seen me use this spray I tried to tell them how amazing it was and they were having none of it. They thought the idea of spraying their face after make up was crazy. So anyways it was a mad night as they are on holidays and we didn't get home until all hours fell asleep straight away which is against my beauty bible rules but hey when in Rome. Woke up and the girls asked how was my make up still perfect when by this stage theirs was smudged patchy and even completely gone. Needless to say they were using that fixing spray every night after.

It is recommended for using after you do your make up but I always spray my face before primer do my make up and give it another spray when its done. Make up stays PERFECT. And a bottle lasts a long time! Also not many people know it is good for doing eye make up. When applying eyeshadow get the shadow on the brush and then a light spray of the fixing spray and it gives the eye shadow a deeper kind of effect and lasts lot longer too.

Hope this helps

The Urban Decay All-Nighter spray is amazing but a bit pricey. I was a loyal repurchaser even so until last week when I ran out and I was absolutely broke, so I took a chance on the Collection "Fix Me Up" setting spray and it was amazing! Only cost about €7 and was just as good as the UD one.
Not only does it make your make up last longer, it makes it pop and all the products already on your face become far more pigmented. Its the very last thing I put on, even after my fake lashes, lipstick etc. I love it!

The UD do smaller sizes of their fixing sprays, €12. Maybe better than shelling out for a big one first?

I'm a big fan of the set sprays.

Purchased the Urban Decay De Slick. Can't say it's made a huge difference really, I must have very oily skin! I just bought the travel bottle so no great loss. For now it looks like I'll be sticking to powder touch ups throughout the day until a miracle product comes along! Thanks for the recommendations though, it was worth a try.

Have you tried Mac Fix+? The Urban Decay sprays are more setting sprays, to make the foundation/powder stay put longer. They don't really do much in terms of helping with cakey powder during the day. I haven't used Fix+ myself, but I know of people who rave about it, and it's apparently brilliant for helping with chalky/cakey powder. Same with the Urban Decay sprays, you can pick up a travel size for around a tenner.

NYX setting spray is a great product - its comes in Matt and Dewy.
I use the matt one and find it lasts all day, the only downside it takes a while to dry! check the reviews on littlewoods, it cost about 11 euro!
