Most Helpful Positive Review Mind blowingly good! This stuff is incredible. I'm 32 and when I turned 30 it was like my skin flipped a switch and just changed. I had been on the hunt for a more suitable foundation and concealer for my new skin requirements. I tried the the Cover FX Power Play foundation and concealer and loved them. For years I've been a full coverage kind of girl and for me the Power Play is a bit more medium to buildable full coverage--but I'm loving it! My only complaint was that my skin was still getting super oily making the foundation move around and transfer a bit. But I recently decided to try the Gripping Primer and the mattifying setting spray and let me tell you.....unprecedented results! The spray contains Kaolin, which is clay and is renowned for it's mattifying properties. Because of this, it has an agitator ball (like in nail polish) so you really need to give it a good shake and dislodge the ball from sitting in what settles at the bottom. 2-3 sprays is enough (I'm used to 4-5 from Skindanavia and Urban Decay) and it tingles a tiny bit for a few minutes. But it leaves me matte for 12 hour work days, even in hot and humid Chicago summer weather. I've been a diehard Skindanavia fan for years, and I even really enjoy Blue and Green Marble, but for me this Cover FX is 10 times better than both of them for my skin.
Most Helpful Critical Review Horrible breakouts from this!!!! I do not know what is in this, but this gave me TERRIBLE breakouts! I know it claims to be free of bad ingredients but there is something in here that is breaking me out terribly. I have oily skin and has heard great things about this setting spray. I gave it a couple of tries, on different days, and this was the only new item to my makeup routine so I know this is why I have breakouts. Returning it immediately. DO NOT BUY if you skin is even slightly breakout prone like mine.

I really love to use this stuff in the summer! It really holds all your makeup together and keeps it matte! I would recommend using it with their primers because honestly all their products are amazing! The only thing is having to shake it so you won't get white water spots on your face. I've noticed my fix+ and all nighter spray do the same when I don't shake it well.
The worst experience happened 1
Madmoizelle from Montreal, Canada
I hope it was a defect one because this is the worst experience i had with make-up. I shook it well but it was a direct violent spray. It was so direct (not a mist at all) that it got in my hair, on my clothes, in my bed, on the floor. My make up was ruined because it didn't blend at all.
I had to take a shower and wash my hair because my hair were cover in white spot. I tried to fast clean it with make-up remover and it didn't budge at all.
I washed my bed cover and it got out of the washer still cover in white drops.

Cass from KY
My skin leans dry and I typically avoid anything mattifying. However, working in hot conditions with a mask on had wrecked havoc on my shin. I purchased this on sale to see if it would help. Oh boy did it. My skin is not flawless but I can see and feel a difference with my makeup and my skin after my shift. I haven't had an issue with the spray so far. I shake until I hear the ball start to kick and then I shake more.
It's Good but not Great 4
Swaffix from TX
I wanted to love this. It's mattifying for about 3 hours. Then my T zone started breaking it down and it caused foundation to become patchy in some areas as the shine came thru. My face hates it for the first week, then it cleared up.
Best setting spray ever! 5
Amanderpz from Dallas
I love this spray! I'm oily and it keeps me matte and set all day long. I never have to blot and prevents transfer of my makeup. Also doesn't break me out. Can't recommend this enough!
My Holy Grail Setting Spray 5
Britt from Ohio
Absolutely my favorite setting spray of all time. The finish is gorgeous and the mist is super fine. It's pricey but worth it for the quality clean ingredients and it does make my makeup last all day!
#1 for oily skin 5
Glo from Texas
Spray on after your primer like tatcha or elf putty primer. Then spray this tap into face until sticky in a good way. Doesn't feel bad. Then do foundation routine. I use personally use it with Esteelauder double wear in warm vanilla or 1w1 bone
Great 4
Oily girl from Portland, Oregon
I have very oily skin, even in the cooler months. This kept me fairly matte for at least 5 hrs into my work day. I do have to blot, especially if I'm going some where after my 8 hrs work day. I notice it makes my makeup look so good....making all the powder and products look good. I like it WAY BETTER than the Urban Decay one. The nozzle spray and formula are better.
Surprised at how matte this kept my face all day 5
Amie from STL
This is a great setting spray for oily skin - and my skin gets very oily around the nose and forehead by mid day. I use mattifying and oil control primers, foundations, and powders. This was the only spray that kept me matte all day - almost TOO matte. I highly suggest applying all your face makeup, then spraying this before highlighters. Let it dry while applying mascara or whatever and when its dry apply your highlighting products so you're not too matte and flat - a problem I NEVER thought I'd have LOL. I have used the other setting sprays from CoverFX, as well as Morphe, Urban Decay, Gerard Cosmetics, Tatcha - you name it. For very oily skin, or those who desire a truly matte finish, this is amazing.
It's not a mist it's a splash. 2
Swaffie from Irving, TX
This spray I had high hopes for and boy was I disappointed. This spray just shoots big ole droplets like a water bottle was opened and thrown on my face. My face broke out and I was recommended this because I have an oily T zone. Yeah... save your money and grab a morphe setting spray

AMAZING 5
Raquel from Oregon
This setting spray is so good! This spray combined with the primer will keep all the oils under control. I had never had a setting spray actually work until this one. Keep in mind you do have to shake the bottle every time before using or else you will have white spots on your face. Other than that it's amazing.
great sprayer 5

sprays finely and keeps me matte
This deserves over 5 starts 5
Samantha from Phoenix
I have oily skin and I have tried sooooo many different setting sprays to combat my oiliness to no avail. I saw this on sale for Cyber Monday and I decided to try it. Normally I wouldn't spend $30+ on a setting spray. I am so glad I gave this a chance. I wear the mattifying lotion, a mattifying primer, I set it with powder, I moisturize and hydrate my skin at night, I do it all. By the time lunch comes around, I'm oily. But with this is magic!! My skin will normally get used to a product and it will stop working, but it's been weeks since I started wearing this and I highly recommend it. By the end of the day my skin still looks good and not oily at all. If you are out there having oily skin, try this!
Not good for long wear 3
Sarah from Seekonk
This setting spray contains powder, which helps make it matte. However, you can see the powder after a couple of hours of use. Looks good at first, but then looks like a bad setting powder application even though it is a setting spray.
Love this ! 5
Lorahh16 from Kansas City
Makes my skin matte, I'm super oily in my t zone. I was stuck between this spray and deslick urban decay and this one won me over! It sprays evenly too. I will say I don't use the cover fx foundation or concealer. I use what works for me ! Make sure you shake the bottle.
I highly recommend this!
I returned it 2
Kmaxine from Mesa, az
I really wanted some help in toning down my shine but I found this actually made me quite shiny. I used it 4 days in a row and then returned it.

Shake well! 4
just_lexi from VA
Alrighty, this setting spray does keep you matte, however it does not marry your products together. Meaning that if you use a lot of power products, it does not take away the powdery look. I use this after Milani make it last spray and then put this on top. Be sure to shake the bottle will because it will leave white dots if you spray too close to your face. It extends my blotting time throughout the day.
Do not buy it. It ain't worth it sis 1
Vanessa from Sparks, NV
I bought this setting spray with the cover ex foundation, concealer, and the mattifying boosting drops. This setting spray did not make my skin matte if anything it made it dewy and left my foundation patchy with white spots and would make the foundation slide right off. I will be sticking to the urban decay oil control setting spray as that is 10x better... don't waste your money on this. Trust!
Love it!!! 5
Lucy from Colorado
I honestly really enjoy this product it holds my makeup in place and it last all day. My workdays are usually 8 to 11 hours and by the time I get home everything is in place and my oils are slightly seeping thru but, by that time I'm taking it of anyways so definitely repurchasing when I'm done.
awesomeness 5

I use this as a setting spray during my beauty routine.
The best mattifying setting spray!! 5
Sabrine from Florida
I never used such a good and flawless mattifying setting spray before this one. Any other brands that I've tried always dried up my skin making it look very dull and boring but not with this CoverFX!! It's seriously amazing and keeps my makeup put my entire shift. I am a hairstylist and I blow dry a lot of hair not to mention get oily and sweaty super quickly but this setting spray keeps my skin at bay and I do not have one drop of oil on my face! And I not to mention the best ingredients you can get in a setting spray!
really good 4

AMAZING 5
Alli s from Canton, GA
This stuff really works! I wasn't always into make up and I thought setting spray was just some kind of spray on water but it truly makes your make up set in and stay on like all day long!
