Since first hearing about makeup setting sprays I've been on the hunt for one that really lives up to all it's claims, and not only feels good applying it but actually does make my make-up last. I'm happy to say after many trials I've finally found my winner!
Urban Decay is pretty well known for it's setting sprays and for good reason. The All Nighter Setting Spray claims to make your makeup last 16 hours. I wear a full face of makeup on my oily skin each day for about 12 hours from application to removing it at home. I would say the all-nighter keeps my makeup looking great for about 8 hours or so on the average day as I notice by the time I leave work at the 10 hour mark it's normally starting to look a little patchy. Even though this is half the time of the product claim I still feel like for me this is a commendable result since everyone's skin is different and I'm currently using Clinique's Even Better foundation, which isn't as long-wearing as other formulas I have tried such as MAC's Pro Longwear or Studio Fix. I think with a longer-wearing foundation or normal/dry skin you would et longer wear using this spray.
The packing itself is the right combination of being eye-catching while still quite minimal which I like. More importantly though is the spray nozzle, which delivers a fine mist unlike some clunkier designs I have tried that leave your face looking like it was caught in a shower.
Would I buy again? After only a few days of using this I went and bought the travel-size version too! This is a must-have for any beauty lover and well worth the price.
I managed to get my hands on this bad boy and for the most part I am really impressed! I have ridiculously oily skin and am forever trying to find products to keep it at bay and help my makeup survive the day.. This is pretty awesome!
I do find it to be very strange essentially putting liquid over your recently applied face - but obviously its designed for this purpose and the box and side of the bottle tell you how/where to spray to get the best results.
I usually use double wear or Kat Von Ds lock it foundation and have to apply powder to my t-zone once or twice a day but found that using the setting spray I only had to do a quick touch up about 6 hours after applying my foundation etc. I would definitely recommend this for my oily sisters! I tried the miniature first then bought the full sized bottle so if you can get your hands on a mini try it out first!
