Product: Urban Decay Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray (29.00 for 4.0 fluid ounces)Shade: Clear>> I didn't expect much when I got this, especially because I've never tried setting sprays before. Urban Decay claimed a lot of things about this, and usually I don't list what the company says, but just take a look...>> What it does: It's the new final step to your makeup routine! This weightless, super-fine mist holds foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and concealer in place so that makeup looks picture-perfect all day long. Temperature Control Technology prevents makeup from a melt down when it's warm and avoids makeup dehydration and cracking when it's cold. All Nighter works expertly on all skin types and prevents loss of color, melting, sliding, caking, cracking, excess shininess, fading blush, eyeshadow, and lip color disappearance. AND it's formulated to resist moisture, so you can fearlessly sweat, cry, or get your Jacuzzi on—you're guaranteed makeup that always looks just-applied, without ever feeling sticky or tight. Backed by years of science, All Nighter is simply unlike any other product available and keeps you looking flawless with just a couple sprays on top of your makeup.>> What else you need to know: All Nighter is allergy tested, dermatologist tested, vegan, cruelty free, and free of oil, parabens, and fragrance.>> Research Results: 81.8% of customers say product gave makeup a healthy glow. 78.8% of customers said product helped makeup avoid creasing. 75.7% of customers said makeup looked as good at end of the day as at the beginning of the day.>> Wow. A spray that is lightweight, super-fine, sets eye makeup, sets face makeup, sets lip makeup, uses temperature control technology, works on all skintypes, prevents de-pigmentation, prevents melting, prevents sliding, prevents caking, prevents cracking, prevents shine, prevents fading, prevents creasing, resists moisture, gives a healthy glow, and makes makeup look the same at the end of the day.>> Um... is it just me or is that a TON to offer! After reading that mouthful I was very skeptical of this product. Was Urban Decay just "fluffing" up the description. I was wrong. This spray really does all of that, I really wish I could just give this an A++++++++ to the millionth power. I was so surprised at how awesome this stuff is, anyways into the in-depth review.>> This spray is created by Urban Decay but uses formulations from Skindinanvia, or a brand that specifically creates setting sprays. I received this in a small bottle and followed the instruction by simply shaking and then spraying on the face. I like to make sure that everything is always even, so even though the bottle says spray 2-4 times I might of sprayed 5-8 times very lightly to make sure my whole face was covered. When I was spraying this on I thought it would feel very sticky or gooey on the face, or basically uncomfortable. Instead it felt like I was misting very "finely milled... water" on my face. The spray is very thin and feels as light as air on the face, as if you're running through a park in the early morning. Just a fine amount of dew on the face, very refreshing. The spray takes about 10-15 seconds to dry depending on how much you applied. So, overall the application was easy and the spray felt very refreshing. I noticed a slight 'sugary' fragrance, even though this is fragrance free; so maybe it's my imagination. Overall it just smells (not a bad thing) just when spraying; but the all of the scent disappears after it dries.>> Just to make it clear, I've seen people on Youtube spray this before applying makeup. According to the bottle you spray it on AFTER you apply makeup, so make sure you use it after makeup application. It will not work as well if you apply it beforehand because you are simply "setting" your natural skin. If you do have dry or oily skin setting beforehand can help makeup application go on easier though.>> Now here came the true test, to see if my makeup stayed on all day and really did the things that Urban Decay listed it did. After a 14 hour day, none of my makeup had changed. (Urban Decay claimed that this stuff works for 16 hours, and I believe them.) My makeup looked exactly the same. Obviously this didn't do anything for my tightline because the spray can't magically fly into my eye and along the inner rims. All my eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, concealer, tinted moisturizer, blush, highlighter, lip stain, etc. seemed to have stayed in-tact. It literally looked the same as it did when I had applied it in the morning. For temperature control these past weeks have been relatively cold because of winter. I didn't notice any flaking at all (score!), since I have dry skin this was surprising. (I was thinking of buying the version for dry skin, know as Dew Me, but this works fine. They also have a version for oily skin known as De-Slick.) I did test this out when I went out on a jog, and I noticed that my makeup didn't melt off and my skin didn't feel uncomfortable, (score again!).>> I can definitely see how this works on all skin types. I have slight combination skin meaning half of the time my skin can be normal. (No oil, no dry patches) While other times I can have lots of oil and blocked pores in my T-Zone, or forehead, nose, and chin. I will also have dry patches on my cheeks and around my nose also. This didn't disturb my skin type by making me any oilier or any drier, which is nice to know. If you have severely oily or severely dry skin I recommend trying out Dew Me or De-Slick, which are the same things but are formulated for certain skin types. I noticed that it did prevent all the things above, de-pigmentation (fading), melting, sliding, caking, cracking, creasing, bla bla bla. My makeup did look the same as it did in the morning and my skin had a soft healthy glow, something like a lit from within appearance. As you can see this setting spray is amazing and I apply it on to all of my makeup looks that I wear outside.Effectiveness: 10/10Value: 10/10Packaging: 10/10Ease Of Use: 10/10Overall: 10/10Grade: A+One of the best products I have ever tried.

Try a primer that is more on the sticky side to help your makeup not move as much. This is a very good base to help makeup last a long time throughout the day. For the setting spray I recommend @All Nighter Setting Spray from urban decay. I use it daily and I absolutely love it! Hope this works for you!💕
