Setting sprays do two jobs: they melt powder into your skin so it looks natural, and some formulas help makeup hold up through heat, sweat and long days. Pick by skin type.

How to use a setting spray

• Hold it 8–10 inches away and mist in an X, then a T shape.

• Let it dry without touching your face.

• Spray a damp sponge for extra-sheer foundation.

• Prime and set: a mist before foundation can help, too.
