- “A lot of people have been comparing this to the Korean Dalba truffle mist, but I feel like the Dalba one leans more towards a skin care category and I would use it as part of my skin care, whereas this, I would actually use it as a setting spray”18:50–18:53

Brand note
Elixir is a Japanese brand that leans into glow and hydration, with its Luminous Glow Mist as the clearest anchor — a bi-phase setting spray that adds a shiny finish while helping makeup last, though the mist texture and fragrance can be divisive. The sunscreen line also gets mentions for plumping the skin and sitting well under makeup. Overall, it's a brand for people who want a dewy, nourished look and don't mind scented products.
