Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray locks makeup in place for long wear, with professional makeup artist Nikki La Rose calling it "the most universally friendly, no fail option" and noting it softens a powdery look. Several creators praise its blurring, hydrating finish suitable for mature and dry skin, though Nina Ubhi says the spritz is not a fine mist and she doesn't think it's great for setting makeup.
