One positive review read: “I always scoffed at setting sprays. I’ve used make up for 45 years without them, and they’re expensive. Then my niece spritzed me (involuntarily) -scoosh scoosh scoosh- My make up stayed fresh looking for 14 hours in the heat. I hugged and greeted people and didn’t leave schmutz on their shoulders. I always keep a back up container of this product, ever since.”
