If you want a good setting spray that will set your makeup for hours, I still recommend the Urban Decay All Nighters. However, I don’t think that these are great for setting the makeup for hours though. With that being said, I love both of these glowy finishing sprays and I highly recommend them for preventing/avoiding makeup cakiness. For me, this usually takes a few more minutes to notice the glowy effect, but once this works, then the effect lasts a couple more minutes or even an hour longer than ABH. However, I find that this doesn’t give that immediate glow unlike the ABH Spray above. This is also very lightweight and this also evens and smooths the surface after every powder and foundation, and this really adds a wonderful glowy radiant finish. This finishing spray is pretty much very very similar to the ABH Setting Spray as what I’ve mentioned above. So far, I’ve only tried this original version and I’m really satisfied with it. This comes in different scents, finishes, and there’s a shimmery version of this too. It costs just a bit more than the ABH Setting Spray above yet it has the same size.

On the other hand, the Mac Prep + Prime Fix+ Finishing Mist (3.4 oz: 28 USD) is a well-loved finishing spray.

I find this to be very lightweight and it really makes the skin look radiant and glowy. The formula is also cruelty-free, gluten-free and vegan.

This has a coconut-vanilla scent and is free of parabens and mineral oil. The glow is immediate and it lasts for about two hours on my skin and on most folks as well. This gives a nice glowy set on the face after applying all your foundation and setting powder. The bottle may look glittery on the outside, but inside there is no shimmer or glitter at all. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Dewy Set Setting Spray (3.4 oz: 26 USD) is a beautifully-packaged finishing spray and is an Allure Best of Beauty winner. I’ve been testing them and though they’re quite very similar especially in size and effect, I still noticed a few differences. Both of them will give a dewy/glowy finish or look because they’ll soften your foundation or powder, which avoids all that cakey makeup harshness. The ABH Dewy Set Setting Spray and the MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Spray are setting sprays or finishing mists that you spray on your face after you finish applying your makeup. If for whatever reason (bad skin days, heavy-handed application, etc.) it happens, I have two face mists to recommend. Now, there are times when we really can’t avoid the cakiness. Lastly, whatever you do, make sure to always prime the skin before any foundation.

A matte look is ok too, but it shouldn’t look or feel too thick, and that means finding a good mattifying foundation is very crucial. A more lightweight dewy or natural coverage will most likely be good enough. Layering on foundations after foundations, and adding extra concealers with too much setting powders will really give a very unnatural look.

Second, don’t overdo on the foundation, concealer, and even powder. So, establishing a good skincare routine is very important. Dead skin cells create a rough surface on the skin.

For me, the first thing is really to exfoliate. But before we talk about finishing/setting sprays, let’s first talk about a few tips on how I avoid cakey makeup. While I do have a couple of pointers for that, I also make sure to have good finishing sprays close at hand just in case. Lately, I was asked about my tips for preventing makeup cakiness.
