Most Helpful Positive Review Great product - but I won't purchase again I picked up this product in lieu of my usual Urban Decay setting spray because the price point was more palatable. The formula is great and kept my makeup smudge free all day, and I loved how fine the misting was. However, I personally find the scent off-putting and would not have purchased had I realized it was fragranced. It is a very floral rich scent and it triggers headaches for me. If they had a fragrance free version I would definitely purchase again for the formula and mister. If you are not easily bothered by fragrances you would probably enjoy this product for the lower price point, but if you are sensitive I would recommend staying with your current product.
Most Helpful Critical Review Does not set makeup I wear a full face of makeup under my mask - even though we're in a pandemic, I want to feel good! I was using the Urban Decay De-Slick setting spray to set my makeup and there was no makeup transfer onto the mask. I got this Tarte Setting Spray for free as the Diamond Gift for 2020. This should be free for everyone all the time because it does not set my makeup at all. There is so much makeup transfer onto my mask. Also when I wear my shield, it sits above my eyebrows in my T-zone and so much oil builds up that and the makeup comes off entirely (which doesn't happen with my Urban Decay). It also has a horrible and overwhelming floral scent. I do agree with other reviews that the light mist is nice but that is the only pro.

This is the stuff of miracles!!! I spent my entire birthday traipsing around the unbelievably humid New Orleans (like, I felt like I had jumped in a pool), and 12 hours after I did my makeup, it still looked FLAWLESS. I didn't even reapply any of my makeup. I don't even understand how it didn't slide down off my face... Every inch of me was covered in sweat from that crazy humidity. Do yourself a favor and buy this!!
works amazingly 5
jackievbear from Chicago
one of my favorite setting sprays! has a great natural finish, fresh scent and locks on makeup all day. as a makeup artist I need products that will stay in place and this definitely does the job!
Great as a Primer too! 5
Nickel from Florida
I love this "setting" spray, but I love it even more as a primer! I'll spray it on when I first wake up and apply my make up after it dries. Sometimes I forget to spray afterwards to " set" but it's all good- my makeup still looks great after a 10hr shift at work!
The best I've ever used 5
Allie from Portland ME
This setting spray works wonders. Does not make your makeup look too matte and really does keep it looking fresh all day long. Highly recommend
Haven't finished testing and spray shoots in a stream 2
Two Pumps and What? from Atlanta, GA
I always pump a new spray away from my face and then spray it on to prevent weird sprays. I did the first spritz away and it was a wonderful mist. I sprayed once on my face and it misted. Every spray after that was in drops or streams. I do not recommend a product that can't make it past two pumps. I haven't even worn my makeup all day and I'm saying no. Also my face feels very drying...

I love this setting spray!!!
Good but don't like the smell 3
Marta from NJ
Good setting spray but I really don't like the smell. Smells like I'm spraying my face with cheap body spray.
I hate the scent 2
California babe from CA
The spray is good, not great. It kept my makeup fresh for about 6 hours and then Ithe oils started picking tru. For reference I have combo skin.
I like it, I would love it ore if it didn't have the awful overpowering scent added.
Love it! 5
Pugmomof2 from Houston, TX
I love it! I have very sensitive skin and had a setting spray from NYX that I was using originally. The NYX spray was making my skin burn every time I used it.
This Tarte setting spray doesn't burn my skin at all. It actually makes my skin feel great!
The pump broke the first time I used the product. 3
Lady Exec in Trvh from Los Angeles
I received this in an Ipsy or BoxyCharm box. I decided to try this when I had used up my UD All Nighter.
The spray pump broke on its first use - 2nd pump. It just like shattered. I had to pour it into a different empty spray bottle and, of course, spilled some.
I much prefer the UD. This has a fragrance I find unnecessary, and it's a thicker spray.
Add to cart now!! 5
mm213 from Ohio
don't think about it, just buy it!! it's that fantastic. set my makeup all day!! no mid day grease to blot away!! my makeup looked just as fresh at 5pm as it did at 7am when I put it on! I wished I'd listened to recommendations and tried it sooner!
Buy it now 5
PetLover99 from Oklahoma
My kids bought this along with the shapetape foundation. It works amazing! I didn't love the foundation but this setting spray is worth the money and it's actually less expensive than other's I've used. I will buy it again. My makeup lasted through Florida's humidity and even through a hike when I perspired. Try it you will love it too. Light fresh fragrance that goes away after its sprayed.
I love it after I finish with my makeup 5
Darlin from Washington, federal way
I use it after my makeup I'd done or before adding highlight to brighten in up more
It's ok 4
Karen from North Carolina
This was recommended by an Ulta employee when I couldn't remember my previous brand.
It has a nice smell but my makeup still rubs off on the masks. Bummer!
Love 5
HH from MI
I love this setting spray. I tend to used a couple different setting sprays at different steps of my makeup but this one is my favorite. The mist is fine, and personally I LOVE the scent. Smells like lilacs to me.
my second favorite besides urban decay! 5
beanie from NJ
when I first used this, I tried it for a few days and wasn't really impressed. I didn't think it helped keep my make up on all day until I used it before and after my make up. after I wash my face, I do my toner , serums and moisturizer. then I spray this on my face and let it set in for a few minutes. then I put on my laura mercier illuminating primer and do my make up. once my make up is done, I spray this again and I noticed it helped keep my make up in place all day. I would say try this method if you had the experience I did. I have sensitive, acne prone skin and it hasn't broken me out. it does have fragrance in it tho which sucks but smells good.
Pleasantly surprised! 4
Aubby from Missouri
Cruelty free - check. Vegan - check. Setting power - check. I was so surprised at the mist because I was fully expecting that it'd be droplets. The price is cheaper than most setting sprays in the marketplace. I didn't like the scent so I hope a fragrance free version is released eventually. I had no transfer on my black face mask, which was really awesome!
Daaaang! 5
Brittanylee from South Dakota
I was a little late to the game trying this setting spray but it's my new favorite. The spray is fantastic and I genuinely feel like it helps my makeup melt into my skin and last longer! The scent is also light but fresh!
The best setting spray that's good for the skin 5
Beautiful Nana from Destin FL
Smells good and is good for the skin; makeup lasts much longer. I have a travel size that I have used for awhile. I like using it so much that I went back to purchase the full size.

This is all I use! from US
This spray is amazing especially now more than ever it keep your make up from transferring onto your mask, it smells nice like watermelon, it leaves your makeup looking dewey and just absolutely stunning and the spritzer is nice, not too harsh and dispenses the spray evenly
Would definitely buy again 5
Ashley from Sherman
I like it
Best Setting Spray! 5
Honeybelieve from Sioux Falls, SD
I was waiting to buy a high end setting spray so purchased mini's and fell in LOVE with this spray. The spray itself smells fresh, the mist is perfect and it really helps to set my makeup. Highly recommend.
Not great 1
Caire from NJ
I'm glad I got this as a gift, because I would be upset if I had spent money on it. The formula is oily, it didn't keep my makeup in place at all, and it absolutely stinks. Why on earth would you scent something that's meant to go on your face?? Needless to say, my skin reacted badly to using this, and I wouldn't recommend it. I love TARTE products generally, however. This one is just the stinker. Literally.
Long lasting and great finish! 5
Kels from Roseville
So I got a sample of this from tarte and I absolutely loved it. The smell is really faint but very pleasant. Barely scented at all. The staying power of my makeup is so much more than it was with a different setting spray. The finish it gives overall, especially when used with my Laura Mercier powder, is just absolutely perfect. Totally flawless, looks like I have a filter on and stays all day. Will be buying again and again!
