Not Sponsored: Makeup Setting Spray was one of those things I felt I didn't need when I really got into makeup. I just thought of it as an EXTRA! It was always on my list to try, and this year I got around to trying it. Well living in New Orleans with this heat & humidity has made me love this stuff! LOL I purchased a travel size of Urban Decay's All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. It's Oil Free, Paraben Free and has Temperature Control Technology (lowers the temperature of your makeup). I love its super-fine mist. Other makeup sprays I've tried (only 2) by Pixi Beauty & Ulta Beauty always made my face (and makeup) too wet. I found Urban Decay's makeup setting spray to be cool & refreshing. I guess that is where the Temperature Control Technology comes in. The major plus is that my makeup STAYS IN PLACE! It doesn't budge. With heat & humidity, stuff begins to slide. I found a cool gif demo on Urban Decay's social media showcasing how it won't budge, so I included the gif below. It's so true your makeup won't budge! Urban Decay states your makeup will look "just-applied for up to 16 hours—without melting, fading or settling into fine lines." I can't vouch for 16 hours, but my makeup stayed put for a regular day. Give the trial size a try! See if you like it (I absolutely love it). It's good for 6 months. Now let me tell you something, you may not know. Urban Decay offers OTHER Prep and Setting Sprays! I'll list them for you below.

SETTING SPRAYS
Chill Setting Spray (Vegan) is a Cooling and Hydrating Makeup Setting Spray. Stop makeup meltdown. Chill Makeup Setting Spray features cooling time-release Temperature Control Technology that actually chills the surface of your makeup—to keep it looking gorgeously just-applied for up to 12 hours. Developed in an exclusive partnership with Skindinavia, this groundbreaking, tested formula holds foundation, eyeshadow, blush and concealer in place. Perfect for all skin types, this weightless spray mists on to keep makeup from smudging or settling into fine lines. The result? Vibrant makeup that LASTS and a glowing, dewy, youthful complexion. I don't see where this varies too much from All Nighter (the one I tried), because it was cooling. Maybe it's the hydration factor. I'm still going to give Chill a try.
All Nighter (the one I'm reviewing here) is a Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. Urban Decay says, "Is makeup meltdown ruining your midnight mojo? Mist on this weightless spray to give your makeup serious staying power. All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray keeps makeup looking gorgeously just-applied for up to 16 hours—without melting, fading or settling into fine lines. Developed in an exclusive partnership with Skindinavia, our groundbreaking, tested formula is suitable for all skin types, free of oil and parabens, and features patented Temperature Control Technology. Yep, this baby actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, eyeshadow, blush and concealer in place—even in hot and humid or cold and windy conditions. The result? Smoother-looking skin and vibrant makeup that lasts all day (or all night)." This stuff is wonderful and amazing.
All Nighter Pollution Protection is an Environmental Defense Makeup Setting Spray. Urban Decay states, "Make your makeup last up to 16 hours AND help protect against oxidation due to pollution. All Nighter Pollution Protection mists on weightlessly to keep makeup looking just-applied, without melting, fading or settling into fine lines. Our light-as-air formula acts like a protective barrier throughout the day—to guard skin against whatever the day throws at it." If you live in a big city, you may want to give this a go. A barrier that protects you from the nasties is always a good thing.
PREP SPRAYS
Rebound is a Collagen-Infused Complexion Prep Priming Spray which is suppose to help your skin bounce back. Urban Decay states their "collagen-laced, radiance-boosting cocktail firms, smoothes and provides intense hydration while evening out skin tone. Because it’s weightless, you can use this spray throughout the day (without messing up your makeup). The sprayer emits a calibrated, microfine mist that goes on so light, you’ll hardly feel it. Rebound in the morning to prep and “wake up” your skin before you apply your makeup, at night before your treatment, or anytime you need a quick boost." As one who has dry skin, I definitely want to try this one next. I will definitely do a review for you when I try it.
Quick Fix (Vegan) is a Hydra Charged Complexion Prep Priming Spray. Urban Decay is so funny..."Is the evidence of your late-night escapades showing all over your pretty face? Once you cleanse your post-party complexion, balance and reinvigorate your skin with Quick Fix Hydra-Charged Complexion Prep Priming Spray.Our hydrating, soothing prep priming spray visibly reduces the appearance of pores, brightens and smoothes skin, and replaces lost moisture.

Created in an exclusive partnership with Skindinavia and inspired by the Korean water trend, Quick Fix is even more hydrating than our B6 Prep Spray. This energizing formula is versatile enough for everyone (regardless of skin type), feels amazing, and is loaded with skin-nourishing ingredients like vitamin B3, Sepitonic™ M3 and coconut water.

We loaded this spray with skin-nourishing ingredients. In addition to stabilized vitamin B6, this high-tech formula contains antioxidant vitamin E and exfoliating willow bark."
Sorry for the lengthy descriptions, but I didn't know about all of these or what they were good for... so I thought I would break them down and share with you :) Also, if you notice, Urban Decay has partnered with Skindinavia on these sprays. I always hear YouTubers rave about Skindinavia. They make both finishing & setting sprays. So I thought Urban Decay pairing with them was interesting. I want to try several of these. I'm thinking they would make a great skin cocktail.
