Review Summary

NYX Setting Spray in Matte Finish offers impressive oil control at a drugstore price point. The spray helps control shine and keeps makeup looking fresh for several hours, making it a solid option for oily and combination skin types. The matte finish helps reduce the appearance of pores and keeps foundation from looking greasy or sliding off throughout the day. The fine mist distributes evenly without leaving wet spots or disturbing makeup application. The formula extends makeup wear noticeably, though it doesn't quite match the longevity of high-end options like Urban Decay All Nighter. However, for everyday wear and the price point, it performs admirably. The spray has a light, pleasant scent that dissipates quickly. The bottle size is generous for the cost. However, the alcohol-heavy formula can be drying and may cause irritation for sensitive skin. The nozzle can become clogged with use and may need periodic cleaning. While it won't keep makeup perfect for 12+ hours, it extends wear significantly compared to no setting spray, making it excellent value for budget-conscious makeup lovers.
