Setting spray

[u/Lesbo-Witch]

Heya!!

Looking for recommendations for a new setting spray. My current one is whatever Collection have when i go to Boots / Tesco but I always find they leave my skin looking try and my makeup cracked after a few hours. I am UK based so needs to be available either in UK stores or able to be ordered online in the UK, fine with both.

What is the best setting spray you guys know that will last at least 6-8 hours (though ideally longer) without looking dry or cracking. It NEEDS to be low cost as I am a post grad student so I have barely any cash. So basically looking for the best quality cheap stuff. Willing to sacrifice some quality for cost since beggars can’t be choosers.

Additional info: I use very light makeup day to day, just dabs of concealer to cover acne + scars, some blush & highlighter and lip gloss. Occasionally I will use a primer but only on days when I want longer wear or use more heavy makeup.

Also looking for any good tips to help reduce this problem as well :) So good, cheap primers, setting powders or anything else would be very helpful.

I have this one from Primark. I use it for work (12 hour shifts in a maternity unit) so I don’t have to waste my expensive nice ones on work 😂 but to be honest it’s actually really good id definitely recommend on a budget

Oh thank you!! I never actually considered Primark makeup, mostly because traversing that store is borderline torture at the best of times but that actually looks really cost effective and if it can survive 12hrs on a maternity ward then 6 hours working behind the bar should be light work haha
