A long-wear setting spray from Charlotte Tilbury formulated to lock makeup in place, control shine, and extend wear through the day with a natural, airbrushed finish.
Gurus overwhelmingly praise this spray for reliable longevity and a natural finish, with one reviewer noting it works best applied mid-foundation application. The consensus technique is to drench the face, let it partially dry, then press it in with a sponge for a more skin-like result. One dissenting voice found it unremarkable and sought alternatives, citing makeup longevity concerns.
"I'm using the one by Charlotte Tilbury. It's not my favorite. I actually do have a new favorite. I had heard somewhere that if you do it in the middle of your application and then you put the foundation back on top of it, that it works better. And I have a real problem with longevity of makeup, so I'm willing to try anything."
"Let's go with a classic. This is my Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. It's been a while since I've used this. I love to soak the face with my setting sprays, so I'm going to drench the face. I let that dry down a little bit, and then once it's almost dried, I love to take my sponge and just press this into the skin. That just gives you the most natural finish."

What’s Worth It from the Sephora Sale + My Cart 👀
"If you're a makeup artist especially you have to get the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. I feel like setting spray is so underrated because you do so much work to make your makeup look a certain way and then if you skip setting spray it just doesn't have the right longevity to it. So this is phenomenal. I think it gives a nice natural finish but it really locks in your makeup."
5 Ways to Instantly Look Better Every Day
"Setting spray is important to make sure your makeup looks polished all day long, which gives you confidence and saves you worry about how your makeup wears. It really makes the biggest difference. If you're not using a setting spray, which most of you probably aren't, that's just a kind of PSA. Get yourself a good setting spray, like my favorite, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray."

You don't need any other setting sprays other than those if you want your makeup to last and look the exact same during hot summer nights.

"I'm going to take the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray, one of my all-time faves, and drench the face. We're going to let that dry about halfway and then I always like to go in with my sponge and press all the powders down into the skin one more time. This makes everything look more skin-like. It also pushes the setting spray into the skin more, so I feel like it helps the makeup last even longer."

"For setting spray I'm still going to recommend the airbrush one from Charlotte Tilbury. If you don't have this, it's just so good. If you need your makeup to basically be guaranteed to last, this is where it's at. I'm just going to spray this all over, going to be very generous with this, let that dry down about halfway, and then I like to press whatever's left of that setting spray into the skin."

"Charlotte Tilbury because it's just always foolproof and it's what I love on a daily basis. You can see how it just melts the powders in place and then also when you press it in I feel like it helps the setting spray be pushed into the makeup a little bit more and so it lasts longer and looks more natural."

"I'm going to set the face with the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. I'm not shy with this stuff. I let that dry about halfway and then I like to take my sponge and just press the setting spray into the skin. One of my favorite little beauty secrets is taking a bit of powder after setting spray just to lock in the areas that you really don't want shine. It just never looks powdery when you go back in with powder after setting spray. I think because while the skin is still damp it kind of grips onto the powder and melts it into the skin."

"I'm going to set the face with some setting spray. I mentioned this in my last year's video. I don't even care. The Charlotte Tilbury setting spray, unbelievable. Next level good. We're going to set the face with this because this Thanksgiving, my makeup's not going anywhere, no way."
What's ACTUALLY in Lisa J's Makeup Bag?!
"This is the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray, this is the best, such a good one. It literally stays like you wouldn't believe. If you layer it with another setting spray, you'll look the same for days. It's great for photo shoots or special events, or in the summer time when you just feel like your face is going to fall off and your makeup's going to melt. Those won't with these. This is not like a daily thing for me because it's so intense, but when I need it, it comes in. These are the best out there. If I had to pick one, I would just do this one. I think it just kind of checks all boxes for me."

"I actually layer these all the time. I layered them today. If you want your makeup to last so long you need to layer these. They are a perfect combo. This one actually melts the makeup into the skin really really well and this actually has a lot of longevity in it by itself. If you didn't want to pick this up, but if you want to lock it in and literally have your makeup look the same all day, add this on top and your makeup's not going anywhere."

"I've used this before. Absolutely love it. It's a way to keep your makeup on and lasting even in hot, humid climates without feeling like makeup spray. It gets you semi-matte; it's not every time we're looking to be casket-sharp matte. I do like this spray."

These Beauty Dupes Got SUED?! 👀 (I HAD to Try Them…)
"This is $38 for 3.3 oz of product. I have used this before, I have emptied one. This is an amazing product. It keeps that makeup on looking good without feeling heavy. It is a spray that will keep your makeup on without being overpowering or overly matte, so you can get a nice staying power without it being too much. It delivers a very nice, fine mist, which matters because you don't want your setting spray throwing big droplets at you -- that could interfere with your makeup."

"I already have tried and loved this. The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. I like a setting spray depending on the season and the mood and what I'm doing for that day. When it's really hot, it's summer, or I'm vacationing and I want to make sure my makeup stays on, I like a different setting spray, but I cannot use that if it is below 80 degrees because it just feels too matte. For all other times, I like this one, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray."
"This is my favorite setting spray -- I love it so much, it's my ride or die. I've seen some people talking about how it's not good for people with acne-prone skin. I have acne-prone skin and I haven't had major issues with it."

Taking My Friend Shopping for Skincare & Makeup at Sephora!
"I want you to start using a setting spray. This is one of my favorite ones. It's from Charlotte Tilbury. I have a few favorites. I love the one from Milk Makeup too, but they're sold out of it. You're going to use this every day. When you do makeup, just spray your face first with this before you start your makeup. Apply your makeup. Before you put your concealer on, I want you to spray your face again. And then after you put your face powder on, I want you to spray your face to lock it all in."
"The Charlotte Tilbury setting spray does a really good job of just locking in your makeup. It has a very nice natural finish. It's not going to make you look too oily or too glowy. It's definitely not going to mattify you."
"The one that I have found that has worked the best so far is by Charlotte Tilbury and this is the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. This really does work and this keeps your makeup in place for the entire day. I am somebody that likes to use a lot of liquid cream types of products so cream blushes cream bronzers liquid foundations even liquid blushes and when I use products like this and when I don't use a setting spray sometimes my makeup can separate halfway through the day and it can do that more so during the summer so that's why I like using this and this keeps everything in place and I never have to worry. This isn't going to give you matte looking skin but it will mattify your skin a little bit so I think that's why this allows my makeup to stay in place all day because I have makeup setting sprays that provide that additional luminosity and glow and dewiness to the skin and although those are beautiful I don't feel like they perform well to keep your makeup in place. Products like this that kind of dry down a little bit more matte they do."
"This is by far the best setting spray I've ever used. It doesn't dry out my skin, it's not full of SD alcohol, and it actually does make my makeup last longer. One of my favorite things that I ever bought in the Nordstrom sale. It is a big ticket item, but I was so happy to get it at a discount. I've never regretted this purchase."
