Setting Sprays That Do More Than Just Set Makeup

Who doesn’t love a good multi-purpose beauty product? These versatile setting sprays will have you looking fresh and alert all day

by Ho Guo Xiong  /   August 2, 2019

If you haven’t jumped on the setting spray bandwagon, all we have to say is, why?

Not only do setting sprays help increase the longevity of your makeup — which is a do or die in Singapore’s hot and humid weather that just about melts the sturdiest of makeup — they also help make your skin look natural and fresh.

In the spirit of being pragmatic Singaporeans, we’ve rounded up 12 multi-purpose setting sprays that do more than just extend the life of your makeup. We’ve split them up into mattifying, hydrating and protective to cater to your specific beauty needs.

Setting Sprays That Do More Than Just Set Makeup
Boscia White Charcoal Mattifying Makeup Setting Spray, $65, www.sephora.sg
image

MATTIFYING:

This Boscia setting spray uses binchotan white charcoal to control excess sebum while artichoke leaf extract and antioxidant-rich black tea minimise the appearance of pores. Shake well before spraying to properly disperse the charcoal within. This spray doesn’t contain denatured alcohol/ethanol that could dry the skin.

 

Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray: Oil Control, US$39 (S$53.44), www.beautylish.com
image

MATTIFYING:

Skindinavia is a brand specialising in a variety of sprays that’s well-loved by makeup artists and celebs. It uses its patented Temperature Control Technology that is said to regulate the skin temperature and keep your skin cool and makeup fresh over 16 hours.

Huda Beauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray, $50, www.sephora.sg
image

OIL CONTROL:

Created by beauty blogger Huda Kattan, this matte setting spray was made to help makeup last for long hours so that you don’t have to worry about touching up while you’re busy conquering the corporate world. Some online users have remarked that it has a strong scent so do take note if you’re sensitive to fragrances.

MAC Cosmetics Prep + Prime Fix+, $36, www.sephora.sg/?
image

HYDRATION:

The OG of hydrating sprays and a cult favourite, this MAC Cosmetics mist uses glycerin — a humectant — to hydrate and a combination of chamomile, cucumber and green tea to soothe and refresh. It is available in four scents — original, rose, lavender and coconut — and has mattifying and shimmer (which contains pearlescent particles) versions.

Pixi Glow Mist, $22, www.sephora.sg
image

HYDRATION:

This biphase mist from Pixi contains nourishing oils such as olive, argan, avocado and jojoba, making it especially great for people with dry skin. This paraben-free mist gives a dewy, glowing finish too. Because it is a biphase product, you have to shake the product well before use.

 

Too Faced Peach Mist Mattifying Setting Spray, $49, www.sephora.sg
image

OIL CONTROL:

Infused with flavours of peach and sweet fig cream, this fragrant Too Faced setting mist employs a comfort matte technology that’s lightweight and oil-controlling. For those looking for a dewy, hydrating setting spray, the brand has another variant called the Hangover 3-in-1 Primer & Setting Spray. The latter is made with coconut water.

Farsali Rose Gold Skin Mist, $59, www.sephora.sg
image

HYDRATION:

Containing rosehip oil and 24k gold, this Farsali mist imparts a refreshing and radiant glow to the skin. As with any oil-containing setting sprays, you can spray the mist onto a beauty sponge before patting it lightly onto your made up face. This will help prevent you from applying excessive amounts of setting spray in case the oils break down the makeup.

Fresh Vitamin Nectar Anti-Oxidant Glow Water Skin Nutrition Face Mist, $39, www.sephora.sg
image

HYDRATION:

This facial mist/setting spray from Fresh is packed with vitamin fruit complex that helps fend off external aggressors such as pollution and smoke. In addition, castor oil adds a glow to the skin while the citrusy (almost passionfruit-like) scent refreshes.

Cover FX High Performance Setting Spray, $45, www.sephora.sg
image

SUN PROTECTION:

This alcohol-free formula by Cover FX uses a fermented algae extract to defend your skin against urban pollutants such as heavy metals and free radicals, while also increasing the longevity of your makeup. The brand also has three other formulas that are specifically made to impart either a matte, dewy or radiant finish.

Urban Decay All Nighter Anti-Pollution Setting Spray, $50, www.sephora.sg
image

SUN PROTECTION:

If you didn’t know, Urban Decay’s cult favourite setting sprays are developed with Skindinavia (above). This Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray is given a boost of minerals including zinc, magnesium and copper to shield your skin from pollution while keeping true to the long-lasting efficacy.

Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist SPF 50, $42, www.sephora.sg
image

SUN PROTECTION:

Many of us don’t reapply sunscreen like we should. Supergoop has made it easier to commit to that habit by creating a setting spray that contains sunscreen. This uses chemical filters to provide broad spectrum SPF 50 protection (i.e. protects against UVA and UVB rays).

Biore UV Perfect Spray SPF 50, $11, Guardian Stores
image

SUN PROTECTION:

This Biore spray is formulated with superfine translucent powder that helps control sebum and shine. Its non-sticky, lightweight formulation protects against both UVA and UVB rays with the use of chemical filters.
