The Ultimate Guide to Setting Spray

How to ensure all your hard work lasts from wake-up to wind-down.

If you ask any beauty expert, Morphe knows to slay a setting spray. Our Continuous Setting Mist is a desert island product for MUAs, influencers, celebs, and anyone looking to stay looking snatched all damn day. Its continuous micro-fine mist is not only effective – it’s downright addictive. The formula is so loved that we’ve expanded the franchise to fit to all kinds of setting needs, from added glow to sun protection.

Choose Your Perfect Setting

Welcome to our ultimate guide to Morphe setting spray. We’ve also bugged some of our team for their pro tips on making the most of their mist.

CONTINUOUS SETTING MIST

The Morphe continuous setting spray was the blueprint for good reason. Say goodbye for good to melting, caking, and fading of your look. This continuous, air-powered setting spray delivers an even and controlled application with a micro-fine mist that sets liquid or powder makeup with a radiant finish.

 

“I love our OG Continuous Setting Spray the best. I have oily skin and it keeps my makeup on all day. I always start with my complexion first (foundation, concealer, blush, contour, and bake with our bake & set banana powder and puff, brush off the excessive after a few minutes). Once done, I set my entire face and dry it with a hand fan. After I move to my eyes, and if I am using shimmery shadows, I use a little setting spray directly onto the eyeshadow on my brush to intensify the color and shimmer.”

CONTINUOUS PREP & SET MIST+

A Morphe continuous setting spray plus skincare? Sign us all the way up. This supercharged setting spray is packed with good-for-skin ingredients to nourish, help with skin hydration by protecting its moisture barrier, and to help boost skin elasticity. Your skin can treat itself to ceramides, electrolytes, and antioxidants, all while your makeup is locked in all day long.

 

I've been using it like skincare since it has such great ingredients, as my final skincare step before applying tinted moisturizer. I have really dry skin, so I douse myself and then press it into my skin.

SUNSETTER BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 SETTING SPRAY

We know you know how crucial sun protection is when it comes to keeping your skin in tip-top shape. Let your makeup and skincare do double duty with this micro-fine SPF-infused setting spray that sets and improves the wear of your makeup while protecting your complexion against sun, blue light, and environmental aggressors.

 

I love using Sunsetter as a quick way to apply added SPF. I’ll wear it by itself not just as a setting spray. Sun safety is very important!

LUMINOUS SETTING SPRAY

We’re doing dewy today and nobody can stop us. If you’re going for glow, this is the setting spray you want to choose. Set liquid and powder makeup with a fresh, radiant finish. Our cult fave micro-fine mist is infused with coconut water, apple extract, and glycerin to instantly help skin hydration and skin moisture while providing a sweat-proof, humidity-proof shield so your look stays all day.

 

“That glazed, dewy look will never get old for me – I like to look as if I lightly worked out an hour ago. I stash the luminous setting spray in my fridge so I can not only reactivate my complexion products throughout the day but it also wakes me up when I spritz it around the 3pm weekday slump.”

MATTIFYING SETTING SPRAY

Maybe your makeup look doesn’t call for a dewy, lustrous finish. Maybe you’re feeling matte today – you can have the best of both worlds with our mattifying setting spray. Experience the same set without the shine while this formula is infused with vitamin-rich skin-nourishing niacinamide and natural fruit extracts to aid in skin hydration while reducing shine and locking in your look.

 

When I want to create a more glam look, I use the Mattifying Setting Spray as my finishing touch to give my skin a flawless and velvet-like finish. I even use it to spritz my liner brushes before applying matte shadows as liners to get a more defined line.
