I get asked a lot of questions in my line of work, but this recent question from a friend caught me off guard: Not only have I not used a setting spray with SPF, it hadn’t even occurred to me that such a thing might exist. But it would make so much sense for such a thing to exist! Here’s why: Makeup setting spray is a liquid product that’s meant to be misted over the face after you’ve applied your makeup (they generally use PVP or acrylate as the “fixing” agent) that keeps makeup from smearing or running when you sweat. But weirdly, while there are hundreds of setting sprays on the market, there seem to be very few that contain SPF. But some do! And we’ve rounded them up for you.

SPF Skincare Sets
Gift sets are a good way to try out a few products without committing big bucks. They’re also a good way to end up with a lot of crap you don’t need or want, so cast a critical eye on them before purchasing! But, in my research into setting sprays, I noticed that some of the skincare lines that offer products with built-in SPF offer what look like actually good and worth-your-money sets.
This set includes a daily foaming cleanser and a makeup setting spray with SPF 50.
