Mehron Makeup Barrier Spray | Setting Spray for Makeup | Make up Setting Spray for Face 9 fl oz (266 ml)

I bought this for my Halloween makeup but decided to try it with my everyday makeup. It works wonderfully!! I work in a restaurant and it is sweat proof! After a 10 hour shift my makeup looked freshly applied! The only thing I don't care for is the smell..it's odd..not horrible just odd. The smell doesn't last long though and I did fan my face to get it to dry quicker. I do recommend holding the bottle about 10 inches from your face because it BLASTS out!! I expected a fine mist...it is not! Love that it acts as both primer and finishing spray. It is a shiny finish and even putting a face powder on over it does not help to matify it. I kinda like the dewey look anyways. I like this so much I decided to get the subscription!!

So I have become a bit of connoisseur of setting sprays over the course of the pandemic, in search of the perfect spray that won't make my face feel tight but also make my makeup transfer proof. I have a dark scar on my nose that I like to cover up which becomes problematic when you're taking a face mask on and off all day, and I also have deep set eyes and want to prevent eyeshadow and eyeliner transfer.LET ME TELL YOU, this stuff made my makeup freaking BULLET PROOF. Tried it when I was at an outdoor event in DC in the middle of summer. This spray made my makeup last from early morning through the summer heat, humidity, rain, taking my mask on and off, and I even slept in it (Don't judge, I was exhausted). I was floored the next morning when I looked in the mirror and my makeup was damn near perfect! No makeup transfer to the white sheets! Color me impressed!I will say though, unless you're a masochist make sure not to get any in your eyes as the alcohol in it will really burn. That said, I spray after concealer and foundation, once it's dry set with powder, and finally spritz one last time before I'm out the door. My makeup doesn't look cakey, and that tight feeling you may feel once it dries goes away quickly. I also don't get those extra wrinkles around your eyes and mouth that you get sometimes get with other sprays where your skin feels a little glued. All around the finish looks natural and this product actually performs beautifully. 10 out of 10

I was looking for a good setting spray that actually set my make-up, this product really does work! The only thing that I didn’t like was the smell…it kind of smells like tequila lol but other than that this product was worth the $$

Locks your makeup in for dear life

Mehron Paint worked wonderfully in tandem with this spray. I’m an amateur & never even wear foundation lol, I got compliments all night... I used the mehron barrier spray in between 2 coats of the mehron paradise paint and after the final coat. Let dry completely between applications!! I also did an extra coat (3rd spray total) at the end. That stuff is AMAZING!!! The spray can come out a little drippy but if you do a few light sprays kind of in the air over your body (not directly into your body) let the mist fall onto the skin... after that dries you can do heavier coats directly to the skin & give more protection without making droplet marks on the paint ..... I was very happy with this product!!!! Even the paint on my hands held up through 5 hours of party & looked great. I held cold drinks with condensation, an icy water bottle, picked up babies (rubbing all over my tummy/arms/chest), hugged people... I even cut a lemon at one point with no transfer!! By the end of the night my finger tips were lighter than the rest of my hands but that’s it (you can see in my selfie, that was at the end of the night right before the shower). Very minimal transfer to the inside of my clothing & it came out in one wash. When I showered & just stood under the hot water for a couple minutes, the paint got lighter but didn’t disappear. I was impressed lol ... took a soft loofa sponge & dr bronners soap, paint came right off. No staining of my skin, no break outs, no dryness. LOVE the mehron product line & would definitely order again & again!!! (I originally ordered amazon green but when it arrived it was definitely a darker witch-y green, so I returned & bought the Light Green, seen here in photos. Glad I made the switch.)

The cost of everything these days is just obnoxious. If the cost is too high to make the product, the chemists need to research better and more cost effective ingredients. Product is good, but cost is obnoxious for the amount of ounces.

If you were like me who want to make up to us all day, then this is such a beautiful setting how I do it is I mix this with my foundation I don’t spray it on top. I mix it with my foundation and then apply on my face.
