When it comes to glam, a little effort goes a long way. Whatever your level of skill is, chances are that adding a swipe of blush here and a stroke of mascara there can do wonders for your confidence — and we want that mood boost to last. Although we love a setting powder for long-lasting coverage, some of the best makeup setting sprays also offer a super-quick solution for looks that stay put.

For the uninitiated, setting spray is essentially a makeup finishing spray that helps prevent makeup from smudging, creasing and fading, allowing you to look your best for a lot longer than without it. In addition to the consistency contrast, another difference between setting powder and setting spray is the former also helps mattify makeup while the latter adds a nice boost of hydration that’s shine-free or glowy, depending on the formula.
Whatever your setting style is, there’s likely an option for you. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the best setting sprays to reach for right now, from MUA kit essentials to celebrity-owned favorites to a TikTok GRWM regular.
