Perfecting a makeup look can—for some—take hours and hours, so it’s only natural to want to keep everything locked in place for an extended period of time. If you’re sick of dealing with makeup fade by mid-day, allow us to introduce you to one of our new favorite setting sprays, Dermablend Power-Setter 2-in-1 Set + Refresh Makeup Setting Spray.

In an ideal scenario, we wouldn’t have to worry about our makeup sweating off after just a few hours. It would look as perfectly blended as it did in the wee hours of the morning when we first applied it. Unfortunately, however, that’s barely the reality we face—especially without the help of a setting spray. These formulas can help deliver a long-lasting makeup look, and some of them have benefits that go beyond prolonged makeup wear—like Dermablend Power-Setter 2-in-1 Set + Refresh Makeup Setting Spray. Read on for the benefits of this multi-tasking setting spray—plus, we share our thoughts on the formula itself after taking it for a spin.

The Benefits of Setting Sprays

To help our makeup last longer and look “just-applied,” we swear by setting sprays. Just a few spritzes is all it takes to lock a painstakingly-applied makeup look in place for hours. Beyond the wear-time benefits, some setting sprays work double-duty to deliver additional perks like refreshing the skin. That’s where Dermablend’s Power-Setter 2-in-1 Setting Spray comes in.

What Is Dermablend’s Power-Setter 2-in-1 Set + Refresh Makeup Setting Spray?

Formulated with aloe, this 2-in-1 product acts a long-lasting makeup setting spray that doubles as an instant skin refresher. The result? Long-lasting makeup with a “just applied” look. As a plus, the spray is dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested.

I’ve tried many setting sprays over the past few years, and I’m not afraid to admit that some are simply better than others. My first priority when it comes to setting spray is long-lasting makeup hold, but I’d never turn down a product that can do more than that. That’s why I love that Power-Setter 2-in-1 Set + Refresh Makeup Setting Spray not only helps lock in my makeup look but also instantly refreshes my skin, similar to a face mist.

Spritz after spritz, the lightweight mist made my skin feel refreshed and cool—all without messing with my makeup. In fact, my makeup did not budge for the entire workday!
