I tend to wear mineral powder make-up and use a setting spray, but wondering if there are better setting spray options out there. So, what is your favorite/HG setting spray and why?
Ben Nye Final Seal, but I only use it for performances and big events. My makeup stays pretty much perfect with it, even through sweat. I don't touch my face when I'm sweaty, so I don't know if it holds up to that, but it's pretty magnificent for getting me through a dance recital.

My everyday use is UD All-Nighter. For days when the humidity is ridiculous and I have to be outside all day, I mix half a bottle of UD All-Nighter and Model in a Bottle. I know it's weird but my makeup survived the humidity of SE Asia.
I really like Dermalogica Antioxidant HydraMist . It's sold as a toner/make-up refresher, but it holds my make-up pretty well throughout the day (I have normal skin that is more combo/oily in the warmer months-not sure yet how it holds up in heat and humidity). If I don't use it I can definitely tell at the end of the day. I got it for 1/2 off during an Ulta 21 days of beauty sale and I've been using it at least 4 days a week for the last few months. It goes a long way. I will probably repurchase when it's gone.
I also like the Laura Geller spray spackle (or whatever it's called). That works well to set my make-up, but the spray isn't good (not fine enough) so I have to put it in a different sprayer. If it had a finer spray it would be my HG.
Ben Nye Final Seal and the similar from Mehron will definitely hold up to heavy sweating, heat, and touching. I used it before I retired from roller derby and it worked great. It felt a bit crunchy/stiff on my face so it’s not something I’ve considered wearing with my regular makeup. UD worked well, it not well enough to justify the price. NYX gives me good results, both dewy and matte. Obsession Pigment Spray works great and really does bring out the pigment colors. Maybelline makes one called Satin Mist that I love, it’s got an ethereal glow to it but I don’t think it’s sold in the US. I’ve looked and not found.
I don't even know where to post an intro here! I was on TK/TN/TB since 2003, mostly local boards. I was m_and_m.
