Infallible 3-Second Makeup Setting Spray
Strong-hold setting spray that locks makeup in place but feels like hairspray on the face.
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
L'Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Makeup Setting Spray locks makeup in place effectively, with several creators comparing it to hairspray for its strong hold and drying feel. Taylor Margaret and Emily Noel both note the hairspray-like sensation, but agree it makes makeup last exceptionally well. Monica Ravi-Conway finds it more drying than competitors but still a solid drugstore option, especially in the larger size.
