Some setting sprays contain polymers that when misted fuse your makeup together, creating a long-wearing bond, while others are more hydrating and help eliminate an over-powdered finish. Some primers have the ability to lower the temperature of your makeup so that it doesn’t melt off — if you live in a high humidity place such as Houston, setting spray will be your best friend.
