Powder & Setting · Product guide
Dewy setting spray
A setting spray that adds luminosity while it sets.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca. Part of the Powder & Setting guide.
When to use it
On dry and normal skin, and when the finish should look like skin rather than product.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Better inland than on the coast. In Casablanca humidity, dewy plus humid reads as wet by mid-evening.
The rule that runs through every product on this site: check undertone, not just depth. Most Moroccan skin is olive or golden, and a neutral or pink-based product greys within the hour however precisely the depth matches. And for any long event, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer — accumulated product slides in coastal humidity, while product laid down thinly stays.
What it will not do
Oily skin in heat. It compounds the problem it is being asked to disguise.
The most common mistake
Applying it over a heavily powdered face. The two cancel out and the result is patchy.
