Source: HiveTried, https://hivetried.com/beauty/setting-spray/for-combination-skin/
Category: Beauty > Setting spray. Updated 2026-10-10. Based on 233 counted first-hand reports from Ulta and Sephora shopper reviews, Apr 2017 to Sep 2026.

**Question:** Which setting spray is good for combination skin?

**Short answer:** Benefit POREfessional Super Setter has the best record for combination skin, with 19 of 22 shoppers saying it kept their makeup in place on both oily and dry areas. The best pick sold on Amazon is Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray at 29 of 36, since the leader has no Amazon listing we could confirm. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have combination skin.

**What stands out:** The ranking weighs how many shoppers stated a result as well as the share. That is why NYX Face Glue Setting Spray (83%) ranks below two sprays with lower shares, and NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray (73%) ranks below Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Dewy Setting Spray (72%).

Ranked by the lower bound of a 90% Wilson confidence interval, so a product needs a high share and enough reports to rank high. An Amazon link is shown only when at least 60% say it works.
