Packaging and First Impressions
The Wet n Wild Photo Focus Setting Spray comes in a simple, lightweight plastic bottle. The design is understated; it's a basic, clear bottle that doesn't highlight specific product details. I purchased mine at CVS for $4.99 and it contains 45 mL of product. It's a cruelty-free option, a definite plus for many consumers.
Wear Test Throughout the Day
I applied the setting spray in the morning and wore it throughout a busy day. The video includes time-stamped checks of my makeup’s condition at various points. At midday, my makeup remained flawless and in place, faring extremely well against the test of time. Even after several hours, there was minimal smudging or fading.
Evening Results and Unexpected Test
By the end of the day, my makeup still held up surprisingly well. I had even cried earlier that day, which unexpectedly tested the product’s waterproof capabilities. While the area around my eyes was affected, the overall makeup stayed intact for a significant portion of the day. This shows resilience despite the unexpected tears and a long day out and about.
The longevity of the makeup is impressive given the combination of heat, activity, and even tears. It's a testament to the setting spray’s ability to keep makeup in place for extended periods.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Wet n Wild Photo Focus Setting Spray exceeded my expectations, particularly considering its incredibly affordable price. It provided a solid five-plus hours of wear, keeping my typically oily skin looking relatively matte. While some shine did develop towards the end of the day, it was significantly less than I usually experience without a setting spray. Even with the unexpected crying incident, the lasting power was still highly impressive. I would highly recommend this product for those looking for an inexpensive yet effective setting spray.
