**Question:** Which setting spray gives a dewy finish?

**Short answer:** Urban Decay Chill Setting Spray has the best record for a dewy finish at 25 of 25, and the shares of all 7 sprays run from 82% to 100%. The best pick sold on Amazon is Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray at 38 of 40, since we could not confirm an Amazon listing for the leader.

## Questions

**Which setting spray gives a dewy finish?**

Urban Decay Chill Setting Spray has the best record (25 of 25), followed by Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray (38 of 40), Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray (43 of 47), e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray (18 of 19), Fenty Beauty You Mist Setting Spray (18 of 19), Too Faced Hangover Primer & Setting Spray (20 of 23) and Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Dewy Setting Spray (28 of 34). Group size explains the order: Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray ranks above the next two sprays despite a slightly lower share, because 47 shoppers stated a result against 19 for each of them.

**Does a dewy finish mean makeup lasts longer?**

These records can't say. They cover the finish, not how long makeup stayed put. Shoppers do mention wear in their reviews, so check the praise on each card if lasting power matters to you.

**Are these results from a lab test?**

No. The counts are what shoppers said after using each spray, not a lab test, so follow the label directions.

**Which of these setting sprays are sold on Amazon?**

Four are sold on Amazon by the brand or Amazon itself: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray and Too Faced Hangover Primer & Setting Spray. We could not confirm an Amazon listing for Urban Decay Chill Setting Spray, and we found no official Amazon listing for Fenty Beauty You Mist Setting Spray, so neither has a buy link here. For Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Dewy Setting Spray, we could not confirm the exact Amazon listing, so its button searches Amazon for it.
