If your skin falls on the dryer spectrum, you’ll know that pilled, cakey makeup is simply the number one thing you want to avoid. That’s where a non-matte setting spray comes in, like the NYX Professional Makeup Dewy Setting Spray. This will keep your makeup not only in place, but extremely hydrated, no matter how much makeup you choose to wear.
Last but not least, this is the rumored setting spray that Disney Princesses use down by Cinderella’s Castle. Seriously though, this costume makeup setting spray is the only seal you’ll need for a big event or night out. It completely locks your makeup in place and combats oil and shine for literally ages, so it’s no wonder why it serves as a theater makeup hack.
