Most Helpful Positive Review Truly keeps my makeup locked in This setting spray is one of the only things that keeps my makeup locked in cuz my skin gets super oily and I sweat pretty easily too. I've mostly used a bunch of pretty useless cheapish setting sprays and then I tried a sample of all nighter I got for my birthday and that locked my makeup in better than I thought possible. Being a poor college student and not being able to use a sample size forever, I was looking for what would be the best affordable option and this was the best option I found to try out. It honestly sets better than UD All-Nighter for me. It feels a bit tightening, like All-Nighter, but it is just so good and useful for me. Put makeup on at like 6:30 AM and it lasted past 7 or 8 PM (took it off cuz i don't like wearing makeup too long, but I bet it would've lasted me til 10 or so ). If you have super oily skin (or are particularly sweaty), then I totally reccommend it. I also have super sensitive skin and I didn't have any issues with it, which I was kinda worried about with the grapefruit extract cuz I have citrus sensitivities.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not matte! I have combination skin that starts dry but gets oily by the end of the day. I prefer setting sprays to powders because of this. Obviously the holy grail is UD Allnighter, but it's so expensive. I love charcoal products, so I bought this on a whim. Pros: Smells amazing, has a great sprayer, and doesn't sting. Cons: Doesn't keep you matte AT ALL. My face was oily within a few hours, and my makeup was literally sliding off. I would expect this from a hydrating setting spray, not one that touts itself as matte. For a drugstore mattifying spray, go with the NYX one. I'll be switching back immediately.

I'm pretty sure this is drying out my face like crazy
I'm not going to use it anymore
It really is matte and last the 16 hours (and I think more) 5
Sofy from Panamá
I have use the spray for more than 7 months, and have use it with heavy and light weight makeup and it performs perfect. It gets you that really matte look, and if I don't want to be full matte a recommendation is to not use powder and instead just use the setting spray. It last the 16 hours wear, yet if it is a little hot you will get a little of glow but it doesn't look bad it look like your skin is glowing naturally. It has a fine spray, it smells like normal makeup, and it is true to the statements. Will purchase again, and after this one I will try the dewy one. :)
Grey!!!! 1
Lyssa from Indiana
The product came out in black droplets which was scary. Then I fanned it fry and there is a grey cast over my face where the product was sprayed! (See photo)

Dani from Texas
Wet n wild is way waaaaay better with their Matt spray.
This let's put black particles! All over my face and neck! It even spritzed to my white marble and counters. Absolutely NO NO NO NO NO for me.
I did my makeup that day and had to remove Because of the black stains it let out.
I wish I had listed to the reviews. And I did NOT.
I wanted to love this, buuuut it proved to be terrible, splotchy and spotted! Literally black spots. Do not buy!
So far so good 5
Maymay from Tucson Az
Seems to be working pretty good I don't seem to be soo greasy by the end of the day like I used too.
Best! 5
Wmarie from Kansas
Works wonders and my make up stays beautifully with little rub off when wearing a mask. For foundation, I use Estée Lauder double wear. Great product, great price!
Gives my combination skin enduring balance. 5
Lucy's Mum from Salem, OR.
This setting mist keeps my makeup fresh all day. I have combination skin, and even though it's a mattifying formula, it does not dry out my dryer areas of my face. The only thing that l wish that it could do is that, l wish it would dispense a continuos spray just by holding down the pump, instead of having the pump spritz out uneven sprays. But otherwise, it is a very good setting spray for that soft-focus, matte effect that l love.
Remember to shake the bottle a little before using, just like the bottle says.
NEVER buy this 1
Aiyana from Indiana
Got ready for a party and had to redo my makeup last second. The setting spray literally sprayed out black, not clear. I had to take all of my makeup off and redo my whole entire face.
All nighter dupe 5
I love dupes bc I'm cheap from Chicago

Super shine control! 5
Karin from Tri-cities, WA
The first time I tried this spray was for a full day of fun at an outdoor theme park. After 10 hours I was blown away at how not shiny my skin looked! The next day I noticed the black charcoal spots on my skin up close in the hotel mirror after doing my full face. The charcoal spots are real y'all, but they aren't visible unless you are looking very close. I'd say it's a decent trade off for the mattifying power of this spray and I will repurchase again and again because I works 100x better than any other matte setting spray that I have tried. I want to try it underneath my foundation next time and see if I can cover it up.
Bad Batch? 2
CC in Texas from SA, Texas
I've been using this setting spray for the last year and it works perfectly for me, since I have super oily skin. But my god! The new one I got recently is spraying our black liquid! I got black spots all over my face! I had to blot fast with a beauty blender before the black settled into my foundation! I thought maybe I didn't shake it enough. So I shook it for like 3 minutes and STILL!! The liquid is grey/black. I've never had this issue before.
Affordable option 4
Whitney from Kansas
This is a great, affordable setting spray for everyday wear. I find it works better when layered between primer, foundation, and powder.
Great for prom make up 5
Bec from wichita , ks
Worked perfect to keep my daughters prom make up beautifel all night.
Love the mist 4
Grace from Undisclosed
Love that it's a fine mist!
Thank you baby Jesus for this blessed creation 5
Lola O from Massachusetts
I use this product over my facial moisturizer before putting on my matte primer. Then I spray another layer, then do my makeup, spray again, then set it all with matte powder. Don't judge me, my face is for real just a plate of oil with eyes. And this amount of matte protection is necessary!
I love it 5
aysha from US
It smells amazing and makes my makeup last awhile. It takes awhile to dry though and when I spray it it's not always spraying like a mist
Disappointed 2
Katherine from Boston
Started out great for the first couple weeks! Then one day after finishing my makeup I closed my eyes, sprayed this on my face, looked in the mirror and BLACK SPOTS EVERYWHERE. Thought it was a user error and I didn't shake it enough before spraying so I held onto it. That was a mistake because it never got better. So much for trying to save money. I'll be going back to Urban Decay.
No, just no 1
Elllllay from Santa Fe, NM
Heard great things about this spray. Bought it, and it left black spots on my face even after the bottled was shaked. The other Milani setting sprays are great but this one is a no go.
Meh. 1
Zee from California
Mine came broken. I wanted to love it but it's just meh. Why does it have black flakes? If you want a good Matte spray try the kimchi one.
No ma'am 1
KML from Charlotte
Even after shaking, and shaking, and shaking, you still get black specs all over your face. I'm so glad I rested this out before I sprayed this all over my clients face or I would've been very upset.
Charcoal Matte 1
Amanda from Glendora
The original matte one (not charcoal) was WAY better. This one sprays black specs of charcoal all over my face even after shaking well. Disappointing.

Leaves white dots EVERYWHERE! Ruined my black top I was wearing the day I used it. Quickly returned it
