From the Beauty Top 100: this is why these two setting sprays are indispensable

In our Amayzine Beauty Top 100 we looked with our team at our all-time favorites. No TikTok hype that disappears in your drawer after two weeks, no sponsored talks, but: products that we actually use ourselves. Every day. For years. And one of those products is the: Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray by Charlotte Tilbury and dthe Fix+ by M.A.C. Cosmetics.

From travel size to limited edition XXL packaging: not a day goes by without my makeup being topped off with such a fine layer of setting spray. Okay, fine, alternating with that of M.A.C. Cosmetics, which I have been using for at least 17(!) years. Because both are an absolute must-have in your beauty cabinet. My makeup just looks a bit better after such a refreshing layer than before. And another advantage: it stays put much better. It forms one beautiful layer over all those layers of makeup that I apply to my face. And believe me: there are quite a few.

The Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray by Charlotte Tilbury is not just any spray. This spray contains, among other things, aloe vera (soothes and hydrates), Japanese green tea (packed with antioxidants), and resin from the Smyrna tree (smooths the skin and refines the pores). The formula is alcohol-free (very important) and provides a light, invisible layer over your makeup, keeping everything in place for up to sixteen hours, they say. And honestly? That is indeed true. From morning coffee to after-dinner drinks: your makeup really looks perfect. As long as you don't touch your face, okay — forbidden territory with hands full of bacteria and dirt from the day.

And then the all-time favorite from M.A.C.: Fix+, a true classic. This spray is multifunctional: hydration boost, setting spray, and even refresher during long workdays. The formula is packed with vitamins C and E, caffeine, and cucumber extract, and smells wonderfully fresh. I even use it occasionally before my makeup, as a sort of primer, and then as a finishing touch. Both sprays are sacred in my makeup routine and I really can't do without them.
