In a perfect world, our make-up would stay intact all day long without staging a meltdown. Unfortunately in Singapore—where sun-soaked days and high humidity are the norm—a girl can only dream. With temperatures as of late going up a notch, foundation starts to melt, blush disappears, and that radiant morning glow? Long gone after navigating sweltering commutes that feel like a sauna. The struggle to keep your make-up in place and prevent it from melting can literally feel like a full-time job.
If you want your make-up to truly endure the test of time hours after application in weather like ours, you’ll definitely need a setting spray. A staple in any beauty lover’s burgeoning arsenal, it’s the concluding step that quietly makes all the difference. Formulated to prevent make-up slipping and sliding off, it acts as a physical barrier that absorbs moisture from humidity in the atmosphere, as well as the sweat and oil you produce—keeping your visage fresh for hours. A few quick sprays of this magical concoction is all it takes to lock everything in place, ensuring that your make-up doesn’t just survive the day, it thrives, staying as flawless as when you first applied it.
Whether you’re opting for a glowy finish that lasts throughout the day or a matte look that won’t melt under the sun, these mists are the real deal. Below, cast your eyes upon Vogue Singapore’s curation of the best setting sprays to cop now.
