Whether you're warding off summer heat or are looking for a way to make sure your makeup lasts all night long, makeup setting sprays are likely to become your new BFF. Here, our editors talk about a few of their top setting spray picks.


CULT FAVORITE SETTING SPRAYS
Urban Decay Cosmetics All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, $30
"This is the one you hear about first above most others ... there are clinical trials on this where people tested it for 16 hours, and it does supposedly live up to its claims."

MAC Cosmetics Prep+ Prime, $22
"You can of course use this as a setting spray, but you can also use this as a primer. Another neat use: You can apply it to your eye shadow to make your eye shadow more vibrant or to turn your shadow into an eyeliner."

SPECIALTY SETTING SPRAYS
Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist, $28
"What's cool about this, as you may expect from this brand, is it's got hella SPF in it. It's SPF 50 ... It's also good for controlling oil."

Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray - Bridal, $29
"This has a temperature-control technology that lowers the temperature of the makeup on your face to keep it from melting off, which is especially helpful for warm weather. For the bridal one, it's actually waterproof, which they say is kiss-proof and tear-proof, because you know there's a lot of that going on at your wedding."

BARGAIN SETTING SPRAYS
E.L.F. Cosmetics Makeup Mist & Set, $3
This is probably our best deal here ... people say it's a great dupe for [M.A.C.'s Prep+ Prime]. They have some of the same ingredients. It also has vitamins A and C. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, this is a good bet for you.

NYX Dewy Makeup Setting Spray, $8
"This is a new iteration of their already-popular setting spray... Everyone is looking to get that highlighted, dewy-looking glow, and this gives you a nice, not-too-shiny, satin-glow finish."
