The 13 Best Setting Sprays To Keep Your Makeup Fresh From Sunrise To Sunset

Most of us spend a fair amount of time applying our makeup on a day-to-day basis, and we want it to stick around.

Let’s say we invest a good 30 minutes putting on our faces — assuming there are no mishaps — that’s more time than most men spend all week on their daily hygiene! And who wants to repeat that process halfway through the day? Not us. 

Before the advances in makeup, odds were pretty good you’d have to rinse and repeat your face paint to transition from day to night. Well, not anymore, thanks to these revolutionary setting sprays! These amazing mists will keep your makeup in place, looking like it was freshly put on, no matter the weather.

So without further ado, we present our picks for the 13 best setting sprays for every type of skin.
