Let me be honest: I have a complicated relationship with setting sprays.

When I kept seeing the NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Makeup Setting Spray – Matte Finish pop up in Reddit threads and on my TikTok feed, touted as a “holy grail” for oily skin, my skepticism was on high alert. It’s one of those products that trends cyclically, and I’d always dismissed it, assuming it was just another overhyped affordable buy.
