Now that masks and face coverings have become an essential part of our everyday ensembles, it's about time that anyone who's still committed to wearing makeup invests in one or two reliable setting sprays. They're guaranteed to keep all of the product on your face exactly where you intended for it to be: on your face. Even though there are a ton of setting sprays out there that promise similar, long-lasting, smudge-proof [1] results, there are a handful of products that really live up to their claims and go the extra mile in making sure you're left with minimal transfer at the end of the day.
Ahead, check out just a few of our favourite setting sprays that'll keep the makeup under your mask in place all day long.
