Hello Lovelies!
Today I want to talk about facial/setting sprays and how they can change your makeup game! I use each one a certain way and I go into more detail below!
These are all the different facial sprays I have used. All of these except for the Elf one are travel sizes so they are smaller versions. They each have different and similar purposes and I will talk about them all below!
This is the Evian facial spray. It comes in an aerosol can spray bottle and it has several purposes. I like to use it to refresh my skin before applying makeup. I also spray my brushes with it to make apply more smoothly on my face. Its basically water so it doesn't do much for makeup setting. It doesnt make my foundation last any longer than normal. I bought this in a two pack (2 x 1.7oz)for travel for $15. There are larger size individual bottles that retail for a little more.
This is the famous MAC fix +. It is a great facial spray as well. I use it to hydrate my skin and I love spraying it on my brushes to buff foundation into my skin. I also love spraying my face with it after I'm finished my makeup, not to make it last longer, but to take away any of the cakiness that powder can create. It has a different formula from the Evian spray and it supposed to have really great ingredients to help moisturize and refresh your skin. The full size of this is $26 but this 10z travel size is $12. It is pricey for what it is to be honest.
This is Elf Cosmetics Makeup Mist and Set. This spray is only $3 and I would say it is the closest in smell, texture, and finish to MAC's fix + which makes it a great affordable dupe. I use it for all the same reasons that I do fix +. Since it is called the mist and set, I used to set my makeup and since I have an oily t-zone it didn't do much for me in terms of my makeup lasting but it was really nice to use during makeup application.
This is the Smashbox Primer water. Its a fairly new product and it is designed to not only set your makeup but prime it as well. I didn't believe a setting spray could really hold the oils down like an actual primer could. I used it to primer my face and I have to say my makeup held on for the same time it does when I use my hourglass mineral primer which is really great!
The only problem is that this primer isn't great for filling in any fine lines like my other primers so my foundation did kind of sink in the fines a little during the day. So now I use the spray and a little bit of a pore filling primer as well.
This is the Urban Decay De-slick oil control setting spray. It is supposed to help prolong the wear of your makeup. I personally didn't like this too much because I find it actually shortened the wear of my makeup. I don't know why but it just didn't work for me. Urban Decay has some other setting sprays but I have yet to try them.
Let me know if there are any facial sprays I am missing out on because I love to try them!

This is a great list of setting sprays! I personally have never used one but have been reading lots of great review about Evian. Might need to pick it up to try myself.

The Evian one is great but its basically water, I would recommend trying Fix + as well! They both make makeup application really great!
