Some beauty discoveries happen by accident. This one happened after weeks of genuinely obsessive research—and it was worth every minute.
Last year, I went on a weeks-long hunt for the best setting spray in preparation for the Cowboy Carter tour. I wanted my makeup to survive a full night of singing, dancing, and mid-summer Vegas heat without looking cakey or dull by the end of it. So I did what any self-respecting beauty girl would do: I researched dozens of formulas, deep-dived Reddit threads, and read every unbiased review I could find.
I had two non-negotiables. It had to be long-lasting, and it had to actually benefit my acne-prone skin—no stiff, hairspray-like finish that just sits on top of makeup and cracks by hour three.
After all that research, I landed on By Terry's Hyaluronic Glow Setting Mist, and it's still the one I recommend over every other setting spray I've tried since. This mist checks every box I was looking for. It's formulated with eight different types of hyaluronic acid, so instead of just locking makeup in place, it's actively hydrating skin at the same time. And it lasts—we're talking up to 16 hours of wear, which is a real number, not a marketing stretch.
I didn't just take the claims at face value—I tested it in the most demanding way possible: a full concert night. My two best friends and I all wore it to the show, and by the time we walked out well past midnight, we were still glowing. Not just "makeup still on," but genuinely dewy and fresh, the way you'd hope to look at the start of the night, not the end of it. Our faces were still perfection even past 4AM at the slot machines and devouring drunchies.
Out of everything I've tried and researched over the years, this is genuinely one of my proudest beauty finds. It's rare that a product lives up to that much research and hype, but this one did exactly that—and then some. If you're tired of setting sprays that either flake by hour two or feel like hairspray on your face, this is the one worth switching to!
If you have a big night (or a big tour) coming up and need your makeup to actually last, this is the one to add to your bag. Plus, it's niche enough that pulling it out of your bag will make you feel like the cool it-girl who found it first (I promise I won’t tell!).
