Makeup setting sprays were initially invented for the entertainment industry to limit makeup reapplication for actors during long shoot days. Think of setting sprays as the topcoat for your makeup, keeping them in place all day.
Depending on the formula, setting sprays also have dewy and matte finishes just like a foundation. Nevertheless, you should use a hydrating, dewy setting spray, especially if you suffer from sky skin.
