When buying a makeup setting spray, you want to be sure it’ll keep your face in place throughout the day and night – whatever life throws at you. And, according to makeup fans, we should look no further than Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray, which has more than a thousand 5-star reviews online.
Urban Decay says the spray can hold makeup in place for up to 16 hours, “without melting, fading or settling into fine lines”. It comes in an 118ml bottle and is designed to be sprayed on top of a full face of makeup.
Reviews claim the spray has held fast during tearful breakups, all-nighters and sweaty gym classes – to name a few.
Here are just a few of our favourite reviews.
“Even after eight shots of tequila, my makeup stayed flawless.”
“I used this before a night out. I got dumped on this night out and even after half an hour of crying on the pub bathroom floor and eight shots of tequila my makeup still stayed flawless. Thank you Urban Decay.”
“He is still none the wiser I look like a witch without makeup.”
“I used this before a night out, had a one night stand and the next morning my makeup was perfectly in place. He is still none the wiser I look like a witch without makeup and if that isn’t worth a 5-star rating, I don’t know what is.”
“My makeup looked better than it did the night before.”
“Last Friday, I went out with my friends until 3am. I got back to my friend’s house and committed the cardinal sin of deciding not to take my makeup off and just sleep in it. I woke up the next morning with my makeup looking better than it did the night before. I kid you not. My highlight was popping, skin still looked flawless and my eye makeup hadn’t moved an inch.”
“My makeup did not judge, even with me sweating.”
“Today I went to the gym and had a full face of makeup, which I know is really bad but at least I hit the gym. Anyway, my makeup did not budge, even with me sweating and wanting to die halfway into my workout – my eyebrows and face were in tact. When I took my makeup off after leaving the gym, my face was bright pink... Urban Decay hid that from the world, so thanks boo.”
And, finally, our favourite: “Fell into a hot tub at a party – clothes and hair ruined but makeup survived!”
