I wanted to find a more affordable alternative to Urban Decay’s setting spray, so I bought the NYX Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray at Ulta
The setting spray is easy to apply, and I only need to spray several times to cover my whole face. The spray also dries quickly, and even though one of the main ingredients is water, it does not remove my makeup. When the spray is dried, it feels lightweight on my skin. My makeup does lasts for most of the day, but if I am out for more than 5 hours, I need to touch it up. The spray also helps control shine, and my makeup remains matte and oil-free, which is good for people like me with oily skin. However, this also only lasts for about 4-5 hours. Overall, this setting spray is a decent alternative to Urban Decay, but it is not as long-lasting as I would like.
$7.99 at Ulta
Rate: 7/10
I have looked at getting this, the post was really good.

Are you sure it’s the spray tho? I use this spray and I don’t need to touch up at all. And I wear my makeup for 12 hours.

Yes I am! I generally have the same makeup routine and with Urban decay’s setting spray my makeup lasts all day/night, but with this setting spray my makeup doesn’t last nearly as long. I don’t know if it’s because I have oily skin or what, but this setting spray doesn’t last that long for me

Hi Karalee. This setting spray is on my wish list. Now that I have also read your review I am wanting it more 😀 I want to get a setting spray, it will be the first time I use it. My skin is combo and sensitive. But we are changing seasons too, so I think it will last on my skin for several hours. Although.. not in the summer, just like you perhaps. Hugs!

I use the dewy finish version and love it as I have dry skin. Would also recommend make up revolution setting spray as a cheap alternative get more for your money, but I’ve never found one that lives up to urban decay, guess you get what you pay for 🙊 xx
