I don’t have a setting spray so I can say I needed this Makeup Academy/MUA Pro-Base Fixing Mist! I thought it was worth a try for £4 from Superdrug.
I don’t usually wear a full face of make-up but I still want something to keep my blusher or bronzer in place. I’ve tried this on two days when I did wear a full face which needed to last and I have to say, I’m going to have to keep looking for a fixing spray.
It goes on quite wet which is fine for me, and leaves me with a dewy look. It has a slight scent of green tea which I liked! It feels tight on my skin which I guess is the fixing power working and this fades after a couple of hours. I have dry skin so this is probably why I notice the tightening. The problem is that it fixed the MUA bronzer fine, and held it most of the day, but it dulled my shimmery Seventeen bronzer which I used to highlight. I therefore didn’t have the make-up look I was going for. Plus, I needed it to last all day and it didn’t.
Sorry MUA, this is another miss for me.
There are a few others you could try, such as the urban decay all nighter! I use an Australian brand called Australis finishing spritz which doesn’t make my makeup run or slide off. I hope you find one that works for you! 🙂

Thanks! I’ve never used Urban Decay (shock, horror) but that may be what I’m missing!
