"This is lightweight, refreshing, and helps keep my makeup looking fresh throughout the day without feeling heavy or sticky. I love that it gives my skin a natural finish while adding an extra layer of protection and hydration."
"This is overall a nice product. I like the size - it fits well in a purse or gym bag. The spritz is decent - not too heavy but could be more fine. I feel like it did help keep my makeup in place throughout the day."
"OMG!!!! The Almay Protect & Set Spray feels so refreshing on the first spritz. My favorite part is the spritzer it sprays so evenly. It drys down quickly and does not have a scent. It’s very versatile because it’s sets and protects! Makeup lasts with this setting spray. The Almay is very affordable and a great option!!"
"It’s a okay spray for oily skin. Leaves skin dewy and dries out fast to me left my makeup in place no caking. Also no scent to it which is great. Felt it was small for value"
"I use this product to set my makeup after application and it works relatively well in the Charleston heat. It’s relatively long- lasting. The coverage is great, it mattifies my skin and gives it a dewy appearance and glow. I love that it is both alcohol and oil free and without a strong scent or fragrance. It’s also extremely easy to remove."
"This Almay Protect and Set spray keeps my makeup perfectly in place all day. I absolutely love it. It's fragrance-free and ideal for sensitive skin, making it gentle and reliable. The fine mist sprays evenly across my face without feeling sticky, heavy, or greasy. Instead, it gives a natural, flawless finish that I really like. I appreciate the small size as I can take it with me on the go."
"My favorite setting spray! I love the light feel of this setting spray and admire its long lasting effects! I’ve used others and they are normally super sticky and take a while to dry. This is the opposite of, it is so light"
"I really do like this makeup setting spray. I will say the spray for application is super strong and sprays a lot. Also, I will say I feel like it makes the foundation slipped a little bit and once you added it on and it takes forever to dry or maybe I just applied too much. So don’t apply too much if you don’t want your make up to slip. I can’t say that once it does try it looks very nice in the make up melts right in."
"The Almay Protect & Set Spray feels super lightweight on my skin and doesn’t leave that sticky or tight finish some setting sprays usually do. It helps my makeup stay in place while still giving my skin a fresh look. This setting spray is a great alternative to those higher end ones. It’s better to get something at great value when it gives you the same finish as the other ones! The best part is how great the lasting power is!!"
"I think this works well but it was not my favorite. The mist was not as good as I expected. It’s a combination of fine mist with bigger droplets. It doesn’t have a scent that I could tell and it does help my makeup last all day I just am not a fan of the mist."
