Dupe Alert: Urban Decay vs. Maybelline - Setting Sprays

I've never really been a huge fan of makeup setting sprays - I had always been reluctant to spend big bucks on what I thought was just fancy water. Earlier this year, I splurged and purchased the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray after hearing so many reviews. I was getting desperate as my makeup was usually melting off my face by the end of the day, and I knew there had to be some secret to it.


Long story short, I fell head over heels in love with the Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray and begun to use it religiously. I experimented with others but all roads led back to Urban Decay.

 

I was perfectly happy with using Urban Decay but was a tad concerned about the amount of money I'd be spending on keeping my face in place. I really did want to find a dupe. Enter the Maybelline Master Fix Wear Boosting Setting Spray*.


This was gifted to me as part of the Maybelline Winter Releases earlier this year. I was excited to try it but honestly didn't expect miracles. But after using it for the last six months, I believe this is par with the Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray. 

The Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray retails for $49.00. Urban Decay is stocked exclusively with Mecca.


If you're looking for a luxe setting spray then this is the one for you. I believe for a full face of makeup, particularly special occasion makeup, the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray certainly works a charm. In my opinion - keep this baby for your special occasion makeup as this one works overtime. 

The Maybelline Master Fix Wear-Boosting Setting Spray retails for $15.95. You can grab this wherever Maybelline is stocked.


This is the perfect setting spray for your every day makeup, even for heavier looks. I find this keeps me looking in place even on the hottest of days. I have used this for formal looks as well and found that it works almost just as well as the Urban Decay.

Overall, I'm a huge fan of both setting sprays. They have both changed my mind about how setting sprays work and how important they are to your makeup looks. I do feel that the Maybelline is practically just as good as the Urban Decay for every day usage, but for special occasions I will probably opt for the Urban Decay if not just for the luxe feel.

Have you tried either of these setting sprays before? If so, what are your thoughts? Do you have a preferred setting spray?
