NYX Professional Makeup Setting Spray ($6) keeps my makeup intact all day long, appearing as though I have freshly applied your face. I have always loved an expensive, higher-end option, but when I ran out, I borrowed from my sister's beauty arsenal, and I was so impressed by how well it worked. I used four sprays before I went to the office, and when I headed out for cocktails at 5:30 p.m., I didn't need to reapply any makeup.
I used the matte finish option and it kept any unwanted grease or smudging at bay without taking the glisten away from my highlighter.
So how does it work so well? The lightweight formula is a mixture of glycol, alcohol, water, and a form of sodium salt that locks your makeup in place with moisture. Think of it as a seal that keeps you fresh.
