Morphe Setting Spray: Yes, I Do Need It

This Morphe setting spray is a must have.

When I’m not doing full glam, I often opt for a super simple makeup routine. A dab of concealer under my eyes, a swipe of tinted lip balm, and a flick of mascara is all I need to get out the door. Let’s be honest: most of us are busy. We are students, we work hectic (or multiple!) jobs, we’re busy moms, or all of the above. Point is, if you’re short on time, perhaps you don’t think setting spray is worth the extra step. But, trust me, this one is.

Promises vs. Performance: A micro-fine mist that holds your makeup in the place.

Morphe promises you’ll be obsessed with their setting spray. Continuous Mist promises a micro-fine mist for even, controlled application. The product is said to set liquid or powder makeup without caking, fading, or melting while giving skin a radiant finish. The formula is infused with vitamin E, vitamin B5, and fruit extracts to keep skin feeling refreshed all day long.

I’ve really enjoyed this product every time I’ve worn it. Even on my more natural days this spray helps maintain the freshness of my makeup. And, when you want full glam without a matte finish, this setting spray is the perfect companion. Concealer, setting powder, blush, you name it. It all wears beautifully under this spray and lasts. With this on, I never look as wiped out after a long day. My skin feels refreshed all day thanks to the infusion of vitamins and fruit extracts.

How It Compares: Morphe setting spray is one of the best.

And, that’s not because it’s the only one I’ve tried. I have tried many others. But I also know the beauty industry fanfare around this cult favorite product. Everyone from Cosmopolitan to Glamour to Southern Living raves about it. No worries about large droplets like rain splatter ruining your perfect foundation or powder, because this spray is as fine as it gets. It applies like a dream and gives you a fresh glow while holding all of your favorite looks into place. Not just for Instagram models, this innovative fixer is useful for anyone who doesn’t have time for endlessly checking the mirror or touching up. Once it’s set, you can indeed forget!

Milabu Beauty Method: A few tips about using setting spray.

1. Hold the can about ten inches from your face, positioned below your right jaw.
2. Before dispensing the mist, hold in your breath and close your eyes.
3. Spray in an even, upward stroke. Then repeat, moving from below your left jaw upward (you can reverse the order of jaws, obvi).
4. Now position the can at the right side of your forehead, spraying horizontally to cover your forehead.
5. Repeat horizontal right to left (or left to right) sprays, working from cheek to cheek. (Take breaks to breathe.)
