Does Setting Spray Expire?

Although setting sprays such as our trusty Urban Decay All Nighterkeep our makeup in place for up to 16 hours, they only have a shelf-life of around 6 months. This is due to water being one of the main ingredients making it a breeding ground for bacteria.

Does setting spray go on last?

If you've ever wondered whether you use setting spray before or after foundation, this is your answer: Foundation should be your next step after primer and color corrector, and setting spray should be the very last step in your routine.

Does Mac setting spray expire?
