The spray mechanism is a bit disappointing. It doesn't dispense evenly, which can lead to a patchy application.

When sprayed after applying makeup, it feels refreshingly hydrating like a mist and helps set your look quite nicely.

Don't close your eyes too tightly when spraying! You want to make sure it covers evenly, right up to your eyeliner!

There are absolutely no cons. I've looked high and low and can't find any. This is my holy grail product now!

As someone now in my 30s who went through several bottles of MAC Fix+ in my 20s, I loved its performance but absolutely hated that distinct feeling of having a film over my face. After that, I pretty much stopped using setting sprays for a while.

I've been a fan of Espoir powders and use them regularly. This setting spray came as part of a set, so I just tossed it aside at first. But after trying it once, I loved it so much I immediately bought the full-size product!

While I haven't tried the famous Urban D*** product, as a former devotee of the once-popular MAC Fix+ (having gone through multiple bottles), here's my take:

It performs just as well as MAC Fix+, but without that suffocating feeling of having a layer on your face!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Usually by evening, my skin gets oily and my morning makeup looks like it's mostly disappeared, so touch-ups are a must. But on days I use this, it holds everything in place so well that even when my makeup does start to fade, it still looks pretty! Oh, and for reference, I hardly sweat on my face - it's like I don't have sweat glands there or something.

Anyway, with this performance at this price point, I have no reason not to use it. Unless something extraordinary comes along, I'll probably stick with this.

---Update---
The review above was based on using it for touch-ups over a day or two and liking it. After using it for over a week, applying it in the morning, I've realized the setting effect doesn't seem to last all day. So I'm retracting my statement about it performing as well as MAC Fix+. I've taken away one star because of this, but I still love that it doesn't feel like a film on my skin.
However, I'm curious about other setting sprays now, so I probably won't repurchase this one.

---Final Update!!!---
I'm bumping it back up to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars!

Why? Because I changed how I use it!

Here's the method I've settled on:

1. On days I use powder, I don't spray the setting spray right away. Instead, I wait until the afternoon when my skin starts to get a bit oily, do a touch-up, and then use the setting spray. This keeps my complexion looking dewy and fresh until evening without any breakdown.

2. On days I skip powder, I finish by spraying the setting spray all over, like I'm coating my skin. This maintains a beautiful glow throughout the day.

I've found that for my skin, using both powder and setting spray together seems to negate the benefits of both.

Either use one or the other, or if you use powder, wait until your skin produces a bit of oil before applying the setting spray! Using it this way, I get great setting power while keeping my skin looking beautiful.

I didn't really find any drawbacks, but if I had to pick one, I'd say the amount you get is a bit small compared to the price.

When I first sprayed it on, it felt incredibly refreshing. I bought it because I love Espoir's signature pleasant scent, and this product didn't disappoint - it smells wonderful and seems to help my makeup last longer. There's definitely a noticeable difference between days when I use this and days when I don't.

Unlike Urban Decay's products that focus on perfect setting, this might suit dry skin types better than oily ones. As someone with dry skin, I found it pleasantly lightweight to use.

I bought this in advance for summer, and there's definitely a noticeable difference between using it and not. I apply it before my base makeup, spray it on my puff, and then once more after my base. This method keeps my makeup intact for about half a day without touch-ups, which I really like.

While the spray power is decent, I'm not sure how well it sets the makeup.

It's small, making it convenient to carry around. The spray power is also good.

Since my makeup tends to come off easily and I sweat a lot, I use fixers frequently. My personal tip is to spray once before applying cushion foundation, then again after finishing my makeup. This really makes it last a long time, even when I'm sweating. It stays put impressively well!

The spray doesn't come out as a fine mist, so if you hold it too close, it leaves droplets on your face. But if you spray from too far away, it feels like nothing is reaching your skin at all.

My makeup used to come off easily and break down quickly, but with this product, the staying power is really impressive! When I use it before applying cushion foundation, my makeup seems to last much longer.

There's nothing particularly disappointing about it, but I'm curious about other setting sprays, so I probably won't repurchase.

The spray works well and the scent isn't overpowering, making it perfect for light, everyday use.

For perfect makeup setting, spray after skincare, on your makeup sponge, and after foundation application

When sprayed after powder, it can cause some creasing, and the spray comes out in a stream rather than a fine mist

It sets makeup well and keeps oil at bay! Absolutely fantastic!

There's nothing to dislike about this fixer! It feels nice on the skin and provides good hydration.

It's moisturizing and feels great to use! I don't usually have issues with my makeup breaking down, so I'm not sure about its lasting power, but I'm enjoying it so far.

In winter, I layer my skincare and base makeup for a dewy look, then spray this on. By the time I get to work, my skin feels wonderfully matte.

The hydration disappears as soon as you spray it. I'd recommend this for those with oily skin.

Here's my review after about five months of use! I bought it in summer, and now it's already winter. The fixing power is so-so, and I don't plan to repurchase. It does a good job controlling excess oil. However, since it contains alcohol, it tends to strip away skin moisture along with the oil.

Usually, spraying it once before going out is good. For those who sweat a lot, spraying it twice in summer might be better. When going to the pool, spray it three times after applying makeup, and once it's dry, spray it 2-3 more times on areas prone to smudging (I focused on the eye and nose areas). This way, your makeup won't budge or smear easily!

There wasn't anything particularly bad... If I had to pick something, it would be that I bought it when it wasn't on sale at Olive Young, so it was a bit pricey.

This is my first makeup fixer, and I'm extremely satisfied with it! I'll keep using it as long as it's not discontinued. Originally, I was planning to use another famous product, but due to many reviews saying it had a bad scent, I chose Espoir instead -> Excellent choice! The scent is slightly fresh with a hint of muskiness, but not unpleasant. It's good that it doesn't bother me during application. The staying power is great, especially as you layer it on! I even went to the swimming pool wearing this, and my makeup didn't budge at all!! I'll write more detailed tips in the additional section. The packaging is slim and not too big, so it shouldn't be inconvenient for travel.
