NYX The Face Glue Gripping Setting Spray has a thin, hydrating texture that locks makeup in place, with several creators noting it extends wear well. Professional makeup artist Morgan Turner finds it too sticky and does not recommend it, while justShanygne says the face feels not sticky despite the grip. One creator compares it to "glorified Fix Plus in a bottle," suggesting it works better as a hydrating base than a long-lasting grip spray.
