Unless you’ve decided to go all natural, we can guarantee that you’ll spend most of your wedding day (and the days leading up to it—hello, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, and more!) in a full face of makeup. And whether you go the DIY route or have a professional makeup artist create your bridal look, you’ll want your flawless face to stay that way.

Sure you can stock up on waterproof mascara in case you get teary-eyed and liquid lipsticks for a kiss-proof pout, but your base is a bit trickier. No one wants their makeup fading, caking or creasing as soon as they hit the dance floor! This is where setting spray comes in, the makeup mist that's essential for securing a long-lasting, budge-proof look by setting even the heaviest concealers, foundations, and powders.

There are a lot of setting sprays out there, from long-lasting mattes to dewy and natural mists, and even some with SPF. It can be a little overwhelming, but don’t worry—we did all the hard work for you! Keep scrolling to see our favorite sprays for setting and refreshing your bridal look.
