It's not enough for your makeup to look incredible on your wedding day, it needs to stay looking incredible for 10, 12 or even 16 hours! That's why, today, we're bringing you a list of our favourite setting sprays for brides. Your makeup artist will probably use a setting spray when applying your makeup on the morning of the wedding, to increase the lifespan of your look and prevent it from fading, but you can continue to use some of our favourites throughout the day, to refresh your makeup and tighten the pores. And it's definitely worth adding a setting spray to your makeup bag for those all-important pre-wedding events like the hen party, the night-before dinner, and the day-two celebrations. So, let's talk through some of our favourite mists and setting sprays for brides!
