Best Setting Powders and Sprays at Sephora

22 Top-Rated Setting Sprays and Powders From Sephora That Keep Makeup Off Your Mask

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Ever spend time putting on makeup . . . to only have it come off in the heat or rub off on clothing or a protective face mask? We know we're not alone here, and instead of just commiserating about these efforts going down the drain (before actually washing them off), we're here with a solution.

Even if you don't normally pick up a setting spray or powder, Sephora stocks more than 140 of these products, and they're especially helpful in humid weather, or when something is touching your face. We already read through hundreds of Sephora reviews and picked out the products with the most reviews and the highest marks, so instead of wondering where your makeup went, add one of these as the final touch to your masterpiece, whether it's a pressed powder, loose pigment, or finishing mist. And no matter if you're wearing a tinted moisturiser, a BB cream, or an actual foundation, these setting products can go on top of anything, and that includes follow-up blushes or bronzers.

Every single one of these sprays and powders has earned at least an average four-star rating from other shoppers, and yours could be next. See our top picks ahead.
