So while in the winter or a minimalist makeup look I wouldn’t think of reaching for a makeup setting spray, for me, they definitely have a place when it comes to hot weather, fancy events, or long days when I need to look halfway professional.

But as someone who falls firmly into the skincare camp when it comes to makeup versus skincare, I’ve struggled to find a spray which will both keep my full face of blusher, foundation, mascara and concealer in place, at the same time as being gentle on my skin.

Luckily, it turns out there are some great options out there and here is one I really enjoyed.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dewy Set

One of my favourites is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dewy Set.

Leave it to a makeup artist to create a great setting spray, this mist really does keep my makeup intact throughout anything that I care to throw at it, and leaves my skin gorgeously dewy as an added extra.

The main thing I love about this product though is the effect it offers.

When I tested it for the first time over a light concealer, I was pleased to get a couple of compliments about how my skin was glowing (my life’s goal).

The addition of skin conditioning and anti-microbial humectant caprylyl glycol, as well as the antioxidant portulaca oleracea extract – which is rich in vitamins A, C, and E – also makes this a product I would be happy to wear on its own for just a natural, dewy finish.

Alternatively, it would make a lovely (if very expensive) refreshing mist for the beach, particularly because of its yummy coconut-vanilla scent.

I do find the spray comes out quite thick and fast (!) though, so I’ve been using it slightly further away from the face than I normally would use a setting spray, to achieve a lighter, more even coverage.

This setting spray is perfect for those who love a dewy look but perhaps a *little* too much bling for matte-look fans.

Great for: A lovely glow

Not-so-great for: Anyone who doesn’t like artificial fragrance as this has some

What other people had to say

One customer on the Ulta Beauty website said “It gives my make up a more natural skin like look. And brings moisture back to my face. I love the way they lock. And the designs on the bottles are soo cute. I wanna keep the bottles. No irritation whatsoever.

“I highly recommend. I only wish they had all the flavors in bigger sizes.”

While another said this is the “perfect dewy spray” and “This leaves my skin dewy and moisturized. It works very well as a setting spray. My makeup lasts allll day. I get compliments on my makeup everytime I wear this, epecially by my bf. That’s how I know it’s good.

“No transfer when I people either. This stuff is great!”
