XclusivStarsng Top 4 Setting Sprays for Long Lasting Statement
“Your makeup is cute o, but can it survive Lagos traffic?” That’s the real question. Because in Nigeria, where the weather doesn’t always play nice and the hustle is non-stop, you need more than just flawless foundation and a snatched brow. You need a setting spray that holds your look together through the heat, humidity, and the unexpected “how far, let’s link up” plans.
At XclusivStarsng, we’ve seen it all—melting makeup, smudged contours, highlights gone with the wind. And trust us, nothing saves the day like a solid setting spray. It’s that final mist of magic that seals in your look, controls shine, and gives you that all-day, camera-ready finish without the stress.
So if you’re still skipping setting spray, or using the wrong one, let’s fix that right now.
Here are our top setting sprays that deliver serious staying power, with two proudly Nigerian brands in the mix.
Zikel Makeup Fix Spray
Zikel
Zikel is one of those Nigerian beauty brands that really understands what our skin and weather need. This setting spray is hydrating, long-lasting, and perfect for everyday wear—even when “everyday” means sweating it out in Lagos traffic. It helps prevent creasing and fading, so your makeup looks freshly applied, even after hours of wear.
Whether you’re heading to church, brunch with the girls, or filming content in the sun, Zikel gives your glam a fresh and lasting glow.
Nuban Beauty Seal It Setting Spray
Nuban Beauty never misses. This setting spray is a go-to for Nigerian MUAs who want their client’s face to last through tears, dancing, and high-stakes photoshoots. It dries quickly, smells amazing, and helps reduce oiliness without drying out your skin. Plus, it’s easy to find in most Nigerian beauty stores—online and offline.
Planning to slay at a wedding or shoot content all day? Seal it with Nuban.
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
This one is a cult classic—and for good reason. It’s oil-free, waterproof, and promises to hold your makeup in place for up to 16 hours. From morning prep to night owambe turn-up, this spray locks your look with zero touch-ups needed. It also uses a temperature control tech that keeps your makeup from budging in extreme heat (we see you, Nigerian sun).
It’s perfect for event days, bridal glam, or any moment you want your face to look as good at 9pm as it did at 9am.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
For that “soft filter in real life” kind of finish, this spray is a dream. It hydrates, sets, and smoothens the skin for a flawless look that won’t cake or crack. It’s also gentle on all skin types, making it ideal for dry, combo, or sensitive skin. You’ll love the glow it gives—like your makeup, but better. Think bridal shower, birthday glam, or any day you want to feel like the main character.
NYX Professional Matte Finish Spray
Affordable, effective, and matte. This spray is your best bet for keeping shine under control, especially if you have oily skin or you’re spending time under studio lights. It keeps makeup in place and reduces the need for blotting or powdering throughout the day.
For makeup artists and beauty lovers who want reliable results on a budget, NYX is the way to go.
Morphe Continuous Setting Mist
Smooth mist? Check. Long-lasting hold? Check. Skin-friendly formula? Absolutely. Morphe’s spray is known for its fine, even application that sets your makeup without leaving patches or a sticky finish. It’s a favorite for refreshing makeup throughout the day—especially if you’re shooting multiple looks or moving between events.
The lightweight texture makes it a staple in many pro kits.
XclusivStarsng’s Pro Tip.
Want serious staying power? Don’t just spray at the end. Use your setting spray in layers:
— After your foundation
— After powder
— And finally, at the end of your routine.
That’s the real beauty hack for a flawless finish that lasts from day to night—no matter what Nigeria throws your way.
