Great Mist ... not so sure on the Set

A long time ago I picked this up in an iherb order. e.l.f. makeup etc is just so cheap that I can never hold back from popping a few more things into my cart. I think I was also on the hunt for a new spray anyway as my Urban Decay one I had just finished and I really didn't want to spend the money to repurchase.

I actually really like the packaging of this product. It has a black square bottle with a sprayer on the top. I find the spray on this is really quite fine so I would even compare the spray to my beloved Urban Decay spray.

To me I don't smell anything when using this. Sometimes I wonder whether I have gotten tricked into purchasing water in a spray bottle (although it was quite cheap so I don't really mind that much if I was). My favourite reason for using something like this is because I have a tendency to over powder my face and make it look very cakey. With a few spritz of this product the cakey-ness goes away and I look like I have skin again. I don't think the ingredients of Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber etc actually do anything for my skin but it is a nice spray. I really don't think this does make my makeup last longer but it certainly makes it look nicer while it is on my face and I love that.

I think I would repurchase this when I run out. I don't think it does anything special, but I don't think that the more expensive versions of this can be justified when they don't do anything different than this product.

Lengthens wear time, hydrates, but doesn't set

I have very oily skin and I struggle to find anything that keeps my eye shadow from creasing within an hour and make up creasing, no matter what mattifying products I use, I'm just an oily person. I've yet to find a setting spray to truly make my make up last all day, the only thing that does is hair spray! I decided to give this a go as it was cheap compared to other setting sprays, and I figured it couldn't hurt. I found this wasn't useless as it does hydrate your make-up, and prevent fading and increase the longevity of make up, but by no means is it a miracle worker.

The product comes in a simple black pump bottle with white writing. The writing scratches off pretty quick so it looks ugly, but to be expected for the price. The pump does tend to spray the mist unevenly so you may end up with quite wet patches on certain areas of your face. The scent is barely detectible, it just smells fresh. This dries down pretty quickly and doesn't wet your make-up like the Australis one. I was impressed to find that this did prevent my eye shadow from fading as quickly and improved the longevity of my eye shadow, concealer and foundation, and this did far more than more expensive setting sprays have done for me. This is very hydrating and is great as a make up mist. However, don't expect this to perform like the Urban Decay setting spray and prevent your make up from budging, it didn't for me, I still ended up with shiny worn make up by the end of the day. However, this did enough to improve my make up to justify the price and I would use it again.

Good for the price

I had heard that this was a good cheap setting spray and when I saw the price I just had to get it. I think this setting spray does a decent job but there are definitely better setting sprays out there. However for the price you pay its definitely worth it. I found that it does set my make up but it won't last for he whole day.

I found that this spray leaves your skin feeling a bit sticky and tacky until t dries. It does take a few minutes to dry. This is the main thing I dislike about this product.

Overall for the price you pay I would definitely recommend giving it a go. I probably wouldn't purchase this again as I would be willing to pay more for a higher quality product, but for the price it is you can't really expect anything more.

Wet

I decided to give this setting spray a try as I have had good experiences with e.l.f products in the past. This is only the second brand of setting spray that I have ever tried.

It comes in a black pump bottle with e.l.f embossed in white on the side. The bottle is 60ml. It is described as a "mist & set", so I guess it performs both functions, though I have only used it to set my makeup.

The spray is easy enough to use, though my main complaint is that it does not disperse its spray evenly. Rather than misting, it comes out in uneven wet drops, making parts of my face quite wet and leaving others parts dry. It does seem to set my makeup, but its wetness smudges my mascara, which did not happen with the other brand I used.

Altogether this spray is okay, but not great. I prefer the other brand I used before it, and probably will not repurchase this.

Tips: Apply your mascara after using this spray to avoid smudging it.

Middle of the road setting spray.

While browsing the kmart beauty section (as you do) I came across a black square looking bottle in the e.l.f section named mist and set, of course I was interested and so I brought it home with me for a review.

The bottle is fairly minimal, apart from the e.l.f logo and name of the product there are no instructions (there is a little bit of a how to use on the box however) or other details. It looks like a much more expensive product than it was.

When I started spraying the product it had a large droplet size that took a while to dry but when it did it seemed to be locked down for the day. The scent was lovely and refreshing, I could definitely smell the cucumber.

As to the setting part of it? I find my cheek and eye makeup to last a lot longer with it on. My eyeliner doesn't seem to smear as much and I look much fresher for longer. On the downside... The makeup on my nose just disappears after a few hours, which doesn't happen without the spray.

Do I love it? Not really, it's ok, but I'm still on the look out for an upgrade. Is it worth the purchase? Yes, if you give the spray enough time to dry and you don't mind a touch up or two throughout the day. My eye and cheek makeup has lasted so much longer with this product, unfortunately, my nose makeup cant say the same.

Tips: Make sure you hold the bottle quite far away from your face to get a more even droplet size and give it enough time to dry.

e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set

I got this quite cheap from Kmart, I think I spent about $9 on it. The bottle is black with white writing. When I first tried it, I sprayed twice and had it way too close to my face and a lot came out, making my face feel a bit too wet. The second day I used this, I sprayed at arms length, and noticed that my foundation stayed on a lot longer than it usually does. By the afternoon my t-zone was relatively cracking, but didn't appear as dry as it usually does without using this product, my brow gel still looked fresh and didn't appear to be fading off. There is no fragrance to this Make up Mist and Set but overall, worked really well for the price I paid and would recommend to a friend.

Tips: Don't spray too close, maybe at arms length just so it sets your makeup and not soaking your face.

An Amazing Cheap Option!

I recently purchased the e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set Setting Spray as a cheaper alternative to some of the more expensive options on the market. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with its performance! I definitely helped my makeup stay locked in place throughout the day and gave me a nice, matte finish.

However, I will say that if you are someone that is looking for a setting spray to really lock your makeup in for day and night, you might want to invest in a more expensive option. While the e.l.f setting spray did a decent job overall, I did notice my makeup starting to wear off towards the end of the day.

Overall, I would recommend the e.l.f setting spray to anyone who is looking for a budget-friendly option that gets the job done. It may not be the most long-lasting setting spray out there, but for the price, it definitely exceeded my expectations.

ELF Makeup Mist and Set

This product is designed to set your makeup so it stays on your face longer. I'm not sure if this really makes any difference, not a major one anyway. It is super refreshing when you put in on, but don't spray it too close to your face because it has quite a powerful spray to it. The biggest mistake I made with this was putting in on after my mascara was applied, my mascara ended up on my checks and the spray kind of set it on and I had to take a layer of foundation off to get the mascara off my cheeks (fail!). I don't really see the benefits of this product, my foundation stays on just as well without it.

Not entirely happy

Sometimes I think I expect too much out of cosmetics. I read the reviews and purchased this thinking I had found something to stop my makeup wearing off after 8 hours but I didn't.

I honestly think this product is not suited to those of us with slightly oily skin as I am having limited success - it seems to work on the colder days we are having now, but I purchased at the end of summer, hoping it would eliminate that shine you get at the end of the day and the patches that wear off around your chin and its just not happening. Come 2 O'Clock and my makeup just looks shiny.

Good points, its cheap as chips on iHerb and applies easily and doesn't smell bad at all. You can also see at a glance how much is left in the bottle.

Tips: I would consider using this if you don't have very oily skin, it's not a bad product, just not suited for my skin type. Also don't apply once you've put your mascara on as it will make it run!

Not as good as nyx

I didn't really like this that much, it smells a bit funny and I didn't notice much of a difference in my makeup when I used it. The spay is good and it disperses product evenly. It is lightweight like it said but I don't think it did much. I use it to dampen my beauty blender before applying foundation to make it apply better and I really like it for that use

Tips: Use it to dampen makeup sponge before applying foundation
