Great setting spray and lasts a long time. Really works
This is a great setting spray and really does its job. My makeup stays on all day with it and holds in place. The bottle lasts a long time too. It doesn’t spray too much or too little. It isn’t thick. It’s the perfect weight and not too heavy like some. You don’t need much for it to work. Great!
