REVIEW | NYC "DEWEY" SETTING SPRAY

NYX Dewy Finish Makeup Setting Spray

NYX Cosmetics is a cult brand that I don't know well, but find incredibly intriguing. Whenever I browse their collection at ULTA, I'm always a little overwhelmed by the amount of products they offer... which is why this is my first NYX purchase!

I've been wanting to tap into the makeup setting spray movement for awhile, having heard of the Urban Decay and MAC versions. While it initially seemed like one extra step in my already length makeup routine, I decided to give it a try. 

I had two choices in their settings sprays: "Dewy" or "Matte". Even though I have oily skin and can usually see my makeup slip off my face by mid-day, there was something telling me that I should go with Dewy. I am more interested in a fresh faced look, and this spray ended up being the right choice. 

I spray it 4-5 times around my face after I have put on eye shadow or powder,  but not before I put on mascara. Why? Just a personal preference, but this order is what works best for me. I also feel like it could potentially weight down my mascara, or make it clumpy since it can feel a bit like hairspray.

After using this for a few months (including a sweaty trip to Nashville), I love it! I had a few spots that I was eager to keep hidden near my jawline, and this spray make my concealer stay exactly where I wanted it that weekend. A real life saver.

Have you tried any setting sprays? Which are your favorite?
