If you are a makeup girl like me, you know that no matter how many times dermatologists/skincare experts/instructions on the back of sunscreen packaging tell you to reapply your sunscreen, that ain’t gonna happen. How am I going to put an SPF cream on top of a powdered and mascara-ed face? I won’t. So you can see how an SPF setting spray is filling out an obvious market gap.
Urban Decay was one of my first makeup loves. Our relationship was solid for almost 10 years, but the last few have been rocky. I felt betrayed by the discontinuation of the Naked palette, my favourite thing about Urban Decay, and the new additions to the permanent line were no longer characteristic of the brand I fell in love with.

Easier as in, they solved some very, very first world problems nuisances. They won’t help you pass that damned final exam nor through that dream job interview – although you might face both tasks with hair and makeup on fleek on their account.
I’ve repurchased all of these, more than once, so let me explain why you might want to as well:
