Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray Review

Hello! 

Whenever setting sprays are discussed, this seems to always be mentioned so I couldn't wait to try it out!




I don't usually have trouble with my base lasting the whole day, except for when I use Maybelline's FIT Me foundation. I really do love using this foundation, but I find that my face is super dewy (and not in the good way) after only a few hours of application and it isn't very long-lasting either.. I was keen to see how this highly-praised setting spray would get on with it and I was pretty pleased!

On the back of the bottle, it encourages you to spray in an 'X' and 'T' formation 2-4 times, but I kind of had trouble doing this (what a doofus) so I just spritzed it over my face a couple times.. Maybe too many times because it took a few minutes to completely dry.




I was happy to notice that it doesn't completely get rid of the dewiness of my foundation; it dried to a semi-matte finish. However, over the course of the day, it does seem to get matte-er, if that makes sense. My foundation also lasted considerably longer. My makeup is usually on for 7-9hrs and it definitely didn't keep it looking 'fresh' but it looked much better than usual!


There is some sort of scent to it, I couldn't really tell what it was but while I was spraying it, my aunt mentioned she can smell alcohol/bleach lol!


I was very impressed with this and can see why it's become people's favourite setting spray! It's very lightweight, your makeup doesn't budge and really quick and easy to use! However, I have gotten small clusters of pimples (ew) since using this and I'm pretty sure it was the cause.. I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this?


Overall, it did help keep my makeup in place all day which was great, but my skin clearly didn't get along with it unfortunately and I honestly don't think it's as amazing as everyone makes it out to be.
I'd love to know what everyone else's thoughts are of this setting spray!


Thanks for reading, Thahira x

  1. I absolutely love this stuff!! I don't ever do the "X" and "T" thing, I don't comprehend lol. I never experienced any breakout with it though, I hope it clears up for you and was just a random breakout! xxxx

  2. I love this stuff! I use it on my cheeks and eyes, so that my blush and eye make up sticks. I haven't noticed pimples, so I have very happy with it. :)

  5. I've wanted to try out a setting spray for a while now as I've found that sometimes my makeup seems to just slide off! This sounds great and I like how it doesn't go super matte :) xx
