‘I’m a Makeup Artist, and I Finally Found 3 Setting Sprays That Actually Stand Up to My Mask’

Setting sprays are ultra-fine mists that go on over your makeup to lock makeup in place, and will keep your foundation from transferring and ruining your favorite fashion masks. Many of them achieve this sort of staying power using alcohol, so if you're prone to dryness and sensitivity, be sure to look for one formulated without it. For the spritzes that Gilleo says really work, shop her picks for the best setting sprays, below.

1. Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray, $33

Gilleo has used many setting sprays over the years as a makeup artist but always goes back to this one. "This setting spray is perfect for an all-day or night event," she says. "It will hold and lock in your makeup for hours and hours on end." Though she doesn't recommend the product for everyday use because of the amount of alcohol and fragrance in it, it is a lifesaver when you really need your full face to stay intact.
