Very cheap and very effective. It keeps my makeup on all day and gives me a lovely dewy look to my skin. I have a sensitive face and this doesn't irritate it at all. It is very refreshing to spray on and contains nice ingredients like aloe and cucumber, so in summer when I inevitably get sunburnt this will probably be very soothing.

Tips: Spray on after applying makeup to make it last all day, or during the day for some refreshment.
When I first got it, it was wet and sticky and I hadn’t even opened it. I thought that it might have been because it was shipped out to me from Iherb, but a couple friends who had purchased this from kmart told me that there’s was also really wet.
It comes in a nicely sized spray bottle which is black, very sleek looking, making it appear expensive. Who doesn’t like that? It’s also a perfect size to carry around - as I like to do.
It’s also really watery when you spray it on your face. Probably because of the nozzle. A crap load of product came onto my face, making the face look really wet, so much that I could actually see droplets on my face, and I was worried about it actually smearing my makeup, or not drying and me having to wipe it off and do my makeup again because it wasn’t absorbing.
But within about 5 minutes, it completely dried on my face. It made my makeup last all day - which is brilliant. It also made my face feel really fresh.
Because I have really oily skin, I hate the feel of foundation on my skin, but this coated it, and made it feel like I wasn’t wearing any foundation at all.
It doesn’t really have a scent to it, but if you smell it up close it smells really bad though, but it fades really easily which is good.
I like to use it as a face freshener throughout the day, even when I’m not wearing makeup. I have to do a bit of walking to get to uni/work and I’m working up a sweat by then, and feel really gross. Just a couple sprays of this and I feel like I’ve washed my face! So good! Makes it perfect for summer!
I find this really handy when I am running low on funds and need something fast, I also take this with me when i am getting ready at friends places or for a weekend away as I'd rather loose this compared to something more expensive ( eeeek ) but it always does the job right!
Tips: When i use this product i ALWAYS make sure to use a good translucent powder after it has set and do two coats of the spray :)
This product is the first setting spray I ever used and I have to say, for how cheap it is, it sure does its job. After applying foundation, powders etc, this product does really well for making it stick and last all day. It does however take a while to dry and set in due to the most coming out in rather large droplets. But once it is set it, it leaves you with a dewy finish. This is definitely a product that you can rely on to keep your makeup fresh and looking perfect ever during a night out in town.
Highly recommended for those who are on a budget but need that extra bit of help keeping it on all day.
Tips: Apply at arms length so it doesn't apply too thickly and leave marks in your foundation. And also do a test spray just to make sure it is working well before applying.
One of my friends gifted me this a few years back now as she hated it. I didn't have high hopes for this due to her experiences but I figured i'd give it a go. This ELF makeup setting spray is one of the worst i've ever used. It does nothing, it just leaves your face feeling wet. While packaging isn't a big deal, this is cheap looking and feeling and is unattractive - combined with how average this product is, don't waste your money.
My word for this product would be ‘meh’ which means average or less than. I picked this up off I herb for really cheap. Was actually my first setting spray to ever use. I find that it just leaves my face feeling wet and doesn’t actually keep my makeup lasting longer. Would I buy it again? No Would I recommend? Maybe because you know know maybe someone else would really like it.
This product is is supposed to be used to set makeup however the mister isn't fine enough so it could make ur makeup run. Don't despair though as its still a handy product. This is great to use as a primer when using tinted moisturizer. Its light weight and works well this way. I also spray a little on an old mascara wand to run through my brows and over mascara to keep it in place and smudgeproof. This can be used to refresh makeup midday or to correct over powdered skin. Its hardly scented and mice and refreshing. This is available at I herb too so dnt pay nzs ridiculous prices.
Tips: If you have a empty Mac bottle switch this into it. The mister on the Mac bottles is finer so better for direct spraying without streaks.
Prior to this I had never used a makeup setting spray. When ELF had a sale, I got this directly from their website.
This comes in a small bottle that easily fits in your hand. I like that although the plastic is tinted, you can see how much product you have left.
ELF say that this has natural ingredients in it such as green tea, cucumber, aloe vera and vitamins A, C and E. When this is sprayed it feels really cooling and refreshing on your skin, so I use this as a refreshing spray when it is hot as well.
The pump is a regular spray nozzle and it doesn't spray a super fine mist. That is my only gripe with this. However, I find that if I hold this about 30cms away from my face then it dispenses the product just fine.
I use this every time I wear makeup and I spray it on my face after applying it. It really does prolong the wear I get from my makeup, as well as hydrating my skin. Even when dry, this doesn't make your skin feel sticky or dry whatsoever.
Luckily I purchased 2 bottles of this, so I am not in danger of running out any time soon. However, when I next buy from ELF or iherb, I will definitely be repurchasing this. I highly recommend it.
Tips: Buy this from either ELF's website, or iherb as it is only US $3 on there :)
I purchased this as I had never actually used setting spray for finishing my make up before, seeing it was such an affordable price gave it ago.
Giving the bottle a shake I spritzed on a couple over my finished face, letting it dry I braved the mirror to see what the difference was, I noticed that it made my face look matte, hiding my usual shiny spot on my forehead but it also hydrated my makeup surprising the foundation areas that go a bit flaky cue to dry skin actually got tamed flat and smotthed down. It made my skin look nicde and matte all day and not look dull.
The packaging is to be expected from this value of product, plastic but effective for its purpose, it sprays easy and tbe lid stays on which is a bonus.
I do like this product, although it feels strange when I spray it on my face, as I usually end up spraying too much of it as it comes out in a big spray and leaves my face wet. I probably need to practice more with it. It does feel nice and refreshing, especially in the Summer time. My makeup does look better and stays in place more when wearing it especially when its hot and humid.
Tips: I put this in my fridge in the summer time and it is so refreshing and really cools me down.
