Best setting sprays to keep your makeup in place

The Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray is a cult favourite with celebrities and beauty influencers, but we can vouch for the spray as it truly lives up to its claims. Your make-up will last *all* night (and until tomorrow's lunchtime for good measure!) Whether you have girl's night out coming up or just a long family day out, this is a winner.

Mother&Baby writer, Eve Miller, said: "This has been my ride-or-die for a few years now. The spritz is light and refreshing, and it doesn't feel sticky at all, which perplexes me, as it ensures that my makeup is stuck to my face all day. For nights out, you can't beat this formula, especially if you like a good dance like me."

Another reviewer said: "I had been wanting to try this for a really long time. Once I bit the bullet I was so in love that I immediately bought a back-up. This is a staple for me for special occasions, long days, or anytime I just want to look extra-nice (it does somehow make your whole look a little more cohesive). This does not cause acne or irritation, is actually paraben-free and I can't live without it now that I've found it. This is certainly a staple for me in the summer."

Another OG and favourite. Not only will this ensure your makeup looks less like er, makeup, it will also keep your base intact a lot longer if you give it a spritz after your morning moisturiser. The MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ has a vitamin-powered formula, so it's refreshing for your skin too. This will leave your skin looking i-Mac-ulate, guaranteed!

Mother&Baby writer, Eve Miller, said: "My skin does look lovely and dewy when I use this, making it great for spring and summer days. I actually prefer it as a primer on my bare skin before applying my makeup - it just makes my skin look really healthy."

Another reviewer said: "I have used this spray for many years and I even have the small bottle for travel. I never go anywhere without it. I spray it on my face once my makeup is complete and it stays in place all day long. It comes off easily at the end of the day. I also love the scent!"

The NYX Finish Setting Spray makes sure that your makeup will stay put without smudging. It is available in a dewy finish, but we'd recommend the matte formula for those with oily skin, or on a hot day when you're out and about. We love how comfortably this lightweight formula sits on the skin after application.

One reviewer said: "My friend was at her birthday party and got cake smashed in her face while wearing this setting spray. When I tell you her makeup did not budge at all, even when we wiped her face free of cake debris!

Another reviewer said: "This is one of the most amazing and affordable sprays I have ever used . It melts my makeup together beautifully and as a oily girl it keeps my makeup in place all day long. Absolutely love it."

Creating a flawless finish for up to 16 hours, the benefit Porefessional Super Setter Setting Spray has a water-based formula that sets your base makeup beautifully. It will blur your pores while giving your skin some much-needed hydration, plus it's fast-absorbing for applying on the go.

Mother&Baby writer, Eve Miller, said: "I really loved the original Porefessional primer, so I thought I'd give this a go. I like how fine the mist is and how it covers my face with just a few sprays. It doesn't drench the face either, plus it does gives a long-lasting finish."

Another reviewer said: "I havent found a fix spray that works for me yet. But I have to say this is most definitely the best one I have found. It also give my makeup an amazing finish. Definitely worth purchasing."

The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray has been receiving a lot of hype recently, and for good reason. Formulated with aloe vera, Japanese green tea and an aromatic resin, this spray will lock in your makeup while protecting and nourishing your skin throughout the day. We love the smoothing effect this has.

One reviewer said: "Make Up Must Have - LOVE this so much, it keeps my make up in place all day without needing to touch anything up which is great when you have a bust day."

Another reviewer said: "The only setting spray I will ever buy, love it! Used plenty other rival brands in the past but nothing matches up to this."

Doubling as a nourishing primer and refreshing setting spray, the RARE BEAUTY Always An Optimist 4-in-1 Mist soothes the skin while setting your base. It's made with white waterlily, gardenia, lotus, niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate, so it's a skincare product as well as a smoothing setting spray.

Mother&Baby writer, Eve Miller, said: "I love applying this before I do blush and highlighter. It makes me skin feel and look amazing, with a gorgeously glowy finish. It's also great to spray on minimal makeup days. It just makes my skin look naturally dewy and fresh."

Another reviewer said: "Smells amazing and is refreshing. I feel like my makeup stays on longer with this mist."

Even though we all have them, the appearance of pores can knock our confidence, which is why the MILK MAKEUP Pore Eclipse Setting Spray is such gamechanger. Infused with oil-absorbing lentil extract and niacinamide, this setting spray mattifies your skin while minimising the appearance of pores. We love that this formula is 90% natural.

One reviewer said: "In my 15 years of doing makeup, i have literally tried every product under the sun to help keep my oil at bay. This product is one of the only things that does that for me. I never thought I would find that in a setting spray form. I am honestly so impressed and am excited to try this out with different foundation formulations. I do still have a touch of oil peek through at the end of the day, but it is NOTHING compared to what normally happens. The only other product that comes close is the Paula's Choice Shine Stopper, but that can leave the face feeling tight. This spray is so comfortable and you can't tell it's there. Highly recommend!"

Another reviewer said: "This is great, I use it in combination with the primer and my oil skin is matte and the makeup looks great!"

NIMYA was created by Youtube darling and beauty guru, NikkieTutorials, so you just know that a lot of thought was put into the NIMYA Set It & Forget It Spray. This long-lasting formula can work for your everyday makeup but also more extravagant makeup with vibrant pigments. It applies beautifully and will make sure you makeup stays put.

Mother&Baby writer, Eve Miller, said: "I really like the scent this spray has and it's not too overpowering either. This is great for when I want to have a dewy or glowy look, but I want it to last and not look too shiny."

Another reviewer said: "I love this spray. It smells so good. It sets your makeup and gives it a great 'put together' finishing look. I have bought this multiple times and will continue. I use it everyday and it is by far the best setting spray I have used. Use multiple times throughout doing your makeup to make it set even more."
