Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray delivers a microfine mist that several creators praise for a hydrated, luminous finish without looking shiny. Former professional makeup artist Morgan Turner disagrees, finding it does not extend makeup wear or deliver the promised dewy effect, and dislikes the scent. It works best as a hydrating refresher rather than a long-lasting setting spray, with a few noting it requires many sprays for adequate coverage.
