Hold the bottle 14 to 16 inches from your face. Close your eyes and spray evenly. It can be used before makeup to prep and hydrate, after makeup to set your look for extended wear, or throughout the day to refresh your makeup and skin.

Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

The useful question is not whether this product is good in a vacuum. It is whether it makes your routine easier to run or just adds one more bottle with a familiar ingredient on it.

What it actually does well

  • Multi-use application
  • Hydrating formula
  • Fine mist
  • Sets makeup effectively

Where it starts to feel redundant

  • Contains fragrance
  • May not be suitable for very oily skin types seeking extreme mattification
