7 Setting Mists To Help You Get That Glazed Donut Glow
By Khanak Mehta
You might think that your ultimate makeup MVPs are your foundations or lipsticks, but the reality is that you can’t always do a touch-up to keep your makeup looking fresh and selfie-ready. The humid weather, the all-nighter parties, and the long days at work in the drying air conditioning can all make your makeup play a disappearing act, or worse – make it look dry and crusty. Now that’s a look no one likes.
Enter: Dewy setting sprays. A quick spritz of these at the end of your makeup routine can keep your hard work in place all day or night. Plus, the dewy finish means that your face won’t look too matte or flat, and that your base makeup will still look fresh and natural.
Here’s a lowdown on our favourites that will help you turn up the glow in no time.
Sugar Cosmetics Grand Finale Dewy Setting Mist
You know the satin skin trend that you’ve been seeing all over social media lately? This setting spray is the one stop (or should we say ‘spray’) answer to that. The finish is just the perfect amount of dewiness without going into ‘oily’ territory and the formula makes your makeup last for up to 12 hours.
Colorbar Stay The Day Finishing Mist
This multitasking setting spray doesn’t just keep your makeup in place all day, but also acts as a mid-day refresher for when you’re in between those long meetings that just never seem to end. It instantly adds hydration and freshness to your skin, erasing any makeup creases and making it look revitalised.
SERY Set It All Makeup Setting Spray
If you tend to stay away from setting sprays because of the sticky-feeling residue they can sometimes leave, this formula is the one for you. It majorly delivers on the dewiness sans any stickiness and is also a unique blend of seven botanical extracts that help heal, brighten, and rejuvenate your skin.

Inglot Me Like Illuminizing Face & Body Mist Bamboo
Rising temperatures can lead to you staying in for most of this summer season, and your skin missing out on that gorgeous, glowy tan that just screams ‘beach vacay’. Well, this illuminating mist from Inglot delivers that glow without any of the sun damage. If you are a dewy skin devotee, this shimmery formula is a must-have in your makeup kit.

Just keep in mind that if you’re sensitive to scented products, this one has a cucumber scent that we personally love, but you might not.
