I’ll be honest, it’s literally took me a hot, very melting second to officially jump on the setting spray bandwagon, but after hearing advice from more beauty editors and makeup artists than I could ignore, I put it off my ticket of skepticism, I jumped on board and have been a good rider ever since. That said, while being a diligent spritzer over the years has done wonders for my makeup application in terms of finish and staying power, it has completely depleted my bank account. Few budgets can handle that kind of constant $30 or $40 financial carnage, and instead, I found myself scouring the drugstore aisles for the best, less deadly setting spray formulas. And I was pleasantly surprised by what I found.
There are many cult and iconic setting sprays that I will never tell you not to buy (they are fantastic, after all), but as my product research below will support, there are just as many affordable alternatives with many of the same ingredients and formula benefits. Succulent botanicals! Alcohol-free! Twelve hour hold! I’ve found eight dupe-worthy stars that I support just as much as their more expensive counterparts. Keep scrolling – you don’t need to break your face or your budget.
