What the gurus are saying

Staying power is what stands out, with makeup holding through humid weather, sweat and even rain. It is so intense that it is best saved for days when makeup must last, though those with oily skin may find it especially handy. However, a spray that comes out white and splotches drew sharp criticism, with a recall called for, so mist evenly from a little distance and let it dry without touching.

Who Comes Up With This Stuff?? Pro MUA reacts to makeup TikToks!

"That product needs to be recalled because that is insane. That is absolutely crazy. Imagine doing your whole face of makeup, a full face, and then you need to shake up your setting spray and spray it, and you'll just splotch with white everywhere. [...] The white stuff is that mattifying aspect of the product. It should not be coming out like that, though. It shouldn't even be coming out white."

You want to make sure you're holding it back far enough and also you want to make sure that you're keeping your face like the way you want it to be, don't be doing anything while it dries.

"I love the All Nighter setting mist because I feel like it keeps things in place for the most part but it was just like creating too much hydration especially in the center of my face. It was adding too much hydration and you know creating more oil in my face than I needed."

"They sent me the vitamin C cactus flower option not too long ago and I have to admit I have been enjoying this. They say this is the one for dry skin types, I have it on now. I admittedly like Urban Decay All Nighter and this is a very clear variant on that, so I do like it. This one has a better smell to it, it does have some essential oil ingredients but I feel like I use so little that it doesn't bother me."

"The Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray is a cult favorite known for its long-lasting, high-performance formula. It gives you up to 16-hour wear and keeps your makeup locked in place for up to 16 hours without smudging, fading, or settling into fine lines. [...] If you are applying makeup and you want it to last all night, this is your product because those little creases will not be filled with makeup. It will stay on even in the most humid weather, even if you're sweating or if it's raining."

"If I had to pick one, I would just do this one. I think it just kind of checks all the boxes for me. When I need it, it comes in, and it literally stays like you wouldn't believe. It won't melt your makeup off. This is not like a daily thing for me because it's so intense, but when I need it, it's magic."

"It really is hydrating. I always use this before applying my mascara, my mascara is the very last thing that I apply in my makeup routine, and I don't like putting setting sprays on my face when I've already applied mascara because sometimes makeup setting sprays can keep that mascara damp for the entire day, and then of course your chances of raccoon eyes are a lot higher. I've been there, done that, I refuse, so I always use my makeup setting sprays prior to applying my mascara."
