Don't you just hate it when you spend hours and hours doing your makeup only for it to look, er, questionable at the end of the day? You know what we're talking about; when your base has more or less melted, and your eyes start to look like a raccoon's. You probably didn't use a setting spray to lock everything in place. Don't worry, we're here to help out.

Setting sprays are a liquid mist that can make your makeup last longer. While not exactly full-proof given the hot and humid weather we have in the Philippines, including a setting spray in your makeup routine can help prevent fading and smudging. Curious to know which products actually work and which ones don't? We round up five setting spray products you can try based on e-commerce reviews.

Check out these five setting spray products you can try to help your makeup survive:

1. ZEESEA Makeup Setting Spray

   

   Perhaps the least known brand on this list, Zeesea's Makeup Setting Spray has over 1,000 reviews on Lazada and has a 4.9 out of 5 stars rating. The setting spray is described to be suitable for dry and combination skin and is said to control oil and leave a hydrating finish on your skin. The product can be spritzed on before and after makeup application and if we're basing it on the reviews, has little to no transfer on a face mask.

2. Life-Proof Fixing Spray (P749 from P849) from GRWM Cosmetics

   

   Local brand GRWM Cosmetics oftentimes have their products sold out in e-commerce platforms and for good reason. Each and every product release has great reviews and their Life-Proof Fixing Spray is no exception. The setting spray has over 700 reviews on Lazada and has a five out of five stars rating which says a lot about its performance. The spray comes in two sizes, 30ml and 100ml, and helps hydrate and moisturize the face while keeping your makeup matte.

   An oldie but a goodie, MAC's Fix+ is a tried-and-tested setting spray by makeup gurus and aficionados alike. It has over 800 reviews and a 4.8 out of five stars rating on MAC's Lazada page alone so can you imagine how well-loved this product is internationally as well?

4. Rare Beauty Always An Optimist 4-In-1 Mist

   

   Fight us on this but it seems Selena Gomez and her beauty brand Rare Beauty can do nothing wrong. The Always An Optimist 4-In-1 Mist has over 800 reviews on Sephora and a 4.4 out of five-star rating. The ultra-fine hydrating mist can be used before and after makeup application but is suggested to be used in between each step of your makeup routine for a more refreshed complexion. It's also great for acne-prone or sensitive skin and leaves you glowing from within thanks to ingredients like niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate.

5. One/Size On Til Dawn Setting Spray

   

   If you really want your makeup to last, and by that we mean last, your best option would be Patrick Starrr's One/Size On 'Til Dawn setting spray. The formula turns your makeup waterproof and easily blends imperfections when sprayed onto the face. It's said to give your makeup a 16-hour wear and while it has a matte finish, the spray doesn't make your makeup look flat or dry. If you're still unconvinced, why not head to Patrick's Insta, he literally jumps into a pool to test the product out himself.
