12 Days of Favorites! Day 11: Setting Spray

Where has the time gone?! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve; Monday is Christmas.

To start to wrap things up here for 12 Days of Favorites, I'm talking about one of the last steps in my makeup routine: Setting Spray!

I have tried out so many setting sprays this year! It's an unexpected weakness of mine. I'm not someone who likes to touch up or even blot during the day. I put on my makeup and expect it to perform until I take it off. So for me, making sure everything is set into place is imperative.

I'm going to be sharing two setting sprays today. The first is the Kat Von D Lock-It Setting Spray.

(I apologize but I used this all up and I'm not letting myself buy more setting spray until I finish at least another bottle.)

This stuff, man. I LOVE this! The mist in incredibly fine, so I never have any droplets that shoot at my face ruining my makeup. This setting spray makes your makeup look cement... which sounds unpleasant, but let me explain... IT DOES NOT BUDGE. I know people say that about a lot of things. But this stuff is legit. 

I wore this to and all day out door music festival in September, which you'd think "ok, Kristin. It's basically fall at that point so no duh it won't move." No. This year in upstate we basically jumped from summer straight to winter. And that didn't happen until the end of October. It was upwards of 90 degrees when I went to that music festival. 1) We were outside all day. 2) We were walking around in the sun all day (so we weren't just sitting around). 3) We were dancing and jumping at the shows. THIS. DOES. NOT. MOVE. 

I think next up I'm going to try Urban Decay All Nighter just to see how it compares.

Now, the setting spray that I still have and reach for every time I do my makeup is the Too Faced Hangover Rx 3-in1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray (that's a mouthful to say).


To start, this stuff smells incredible. It has coconut water in it, but I don't think it smells like coconut. But whatever the scent is made of, I love it! When I use setting sprays, I generally use them twice. Once after I finish applying all of my complexion products (primer, foundation, concealer, and powder). This really does help everything settle and then I'll go back in with the rest of my makeup - once the setting spray has COMPLETELY dried (this is VERY important). I use it again once my makeup is complete. I find that for me this technique works best and really makes all the powder products not look like powder. 

I was kind of skeptical to trying this out. I have oily skin, so I was worried this wouldn't prolong the wear of my makeup. But it does. I don't know how, but it does! I've eyed the Hangover Rx primer, but again, I have oily skin so I don't know how that would go. But if this is any indication, I might have to get a sample the next time I'm in Sephora. 

Honestly, all the rest of my setting sprays are just kind of there if I'm in the mood to do something different. But if I'm running on auto pilot (which I often am early in the morning before work), or if I want something that I KNOW will work, I reach for either of these two sprays (more so the Too Faced one now since I'm out of the Lock-It). 

What are your favorite setting sprays? How do you use them?
