e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set Review

I bought this as I needed a setting spray and was on a budget. I see a lot of people have an issue with the smell but I can barely smell it at all! I used to love a matte finish but I bought this is 'Dewy' and am now a convert. I give my face a fair few sprays and then pat it down gently with my fingers and I find that does the trick. It just makes my base look super natural and like I don't really have much makeup on at all. As for staying power, it's definitely better than wearing NO setting spray. It doesn't keep as well as the bottle claims but I'm still happy. If I have more money I'll give the Skindinavia a try, but on a shoestring, this does the trick.

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.

This is an added extra I popped onto an iHerb order-I had seen it on YouTube a few times and thought I'd give it a shot. It is quite a small, square shaped black spray bottle. When I have finished my makeup application I spritz this on. The spray is not overly fine and misting- I notice spots of liquid in my face after using this, almost like bits of large glitter, though after a minute or two it dries. I use powder to set my face so I like to use this after to soften the powdery look, I sometimes feel like the powder makes my face hairs more noticeable and the spray seems to eliminate that problem. It says it has Aloe, Green Tea and other nutrients but I cannot say that I noticed any additional benefits from these. My makeup lasts all day- I always use a mist of some sort at the end of my makeup application so I can't really compare it to not using a mist, but it does just as well as any of the other brands I use- loccitane, Skinn, Mario Badescu, dermalogica and even the Evian spray.

I can't lie, this is the only makeup mist/setter that I have tried - I am a little lazy for everyday makeup and really just hope it will last the work day. This is my second bottle of this product and for the price, I think it is a great option!

I usually spray this lightly over my powder foundation to take away the 'powdery' look. It has a light scent and feels nice on your skin. I believe it does set my make up for a day at work; I don't notice my makeup falling or smudging throughout the day and it keeps my makeup from looking dry. Quite frankly, it does the job for what I need!

I am sure there are better makeup mists/setters but for the price, I think this is a fabulous option!

I found this product at Kmart recently and decided to give it a go. I thought I couldn’t really go wrong with the price. This setting spray is good at keeping my eye make-up on and my eye make-up doesn’t smudge half as much when using this. You need to make sure you don’t spray too much of it though and try not to spray it too close to your face. If you spray it too close to your face, you’ll end up with a really wet feel and then it doesn’t feel like it’s setting. It’s better to keep it almost at arm’s length, then spray. I can’t really tell if it keeps my foundation on for longer, possibly not, but it really does set my eye make-up, I’m positive about that. In addition, it contains some nice ingredients and some vitamins, and it’s alcohol-free. Not bad at all for the price, and I reckon you could pay a lot more for a setting spray and be a bit disappointed. I give it four kisses overall.

This is cheap so i didnt mind that it didnt do much. This comes in a small plastic spray bottle, this is easy to use and i spray all over my face and hair. No staying power changes in my make up, nice fresh feeling but no visible results. This is nice to use throughout the day as a daily refresher spritz but would not reccomend to use as a "locking" spray for make up.

I am in love with elf and think majority of their products are fab and at a great price too. This spray is extremely refreshing- with vitamins and aloe as well . Fab for on a hot day or on a flight when you need to refresh . I do think it helps set your makeup as well- after a few seconds of it sinking in it looks really good and helps it stay put :)

I have heard a few good things about this spray and when I saw it in the shop for $10 I thought it would be great to try. The first time I used it, I had to get used to the feeling as it takes a few minutes to dry and set. I was walking around fanning my face to make it dry. After it set, I found it made my face look smooth and didn't take the natural look away. It made my makeup stay for ages! When I was removing my makeup that night I realized how well it stayed on. I have a few foundations that don't last a long time so I am excited to see if this spray makes them last longer! And for $10 I think it does really well for me!

I think I love this but for all the wrong reasons!

I found that this make up mist and spray did not in any way enhance and enable my make up to last all day. In all honesty, on top of my foundation or powder, it just made my face have a more 'dewyer' appearance.

I also found that my bottle leaked a lot? When it arrived from iHerb, the packaging of it was very wet. Aswell as this, when I would spray it, it would come out of the bottle in big droplets which wouldn't feel too flash on the skin :/

But infact i do love this product in the summer time or after i have cleansed my face! It is such a hydrating spray that cools down my skin and also my redness!

I have a love/hate relationship with this product but I guess you will need to try it for yourself!
