A Celebrity Makeup Artist Swears By This $6 Drugstore Setting Spray

Settings spray acts like the insurance of makeup, keeping your look smudge-proof and giving it staying power. As the last crucial step in a makeup routine, setting sprays help lock in, or at the least, extend looks up to the night's end. The right makeup setting sprays will put your worries at ease, but you don’t have to splurge on an expensive product to get the job done, according to LA-based makeup artist Vanessa Flores. What's more, some of these budget-friendly setting sprays also infuse skincare benefits by including plant extracts, vitamins and other ingredients catered to dry skin, sensitive skin, oily skin and combination skin alike.
