NOT incentivized: only okay

I’m so tired of seeing only incentivized reviews & as an avid makeup lover, I’m determined to start leaving my genuine review of each product. I have normal to oily skin. I love the CT setting spray, but this one is no different than the original. It’s not more mattifying. It makes my makeup look nice, but it doesn’t do what it says it does.

Level 10 Matte but Caution

This spray is intensely matte. I actually only do one or two sprays from very far away because otherwise my face ends up looking like theater makeup: chalky and with a white cast. For reference, I have normal skin but lather on tons of skincare and sunscreen underneath dewy makeup—and even then this spray will turn all that dewiness into the Sahara Desert if you spray too much. So, just use it strategically. That said, I love that it is actually intensely matte because sometimes that’s...

Amazing! but heads up...

this is truely a less shiny and more shine control version of the already amazing original. one caveat, DO NOT use as a priming spray or under your foundation, or to spray your sponge to apply liquid or cream products. the powder in here is legit and it will grab and make a sludgy mess. but to finish your final face or after liquids before powders, one of the best I have ever tried and I may have tried them all

Obsessed ❤️

I just recently tried this setting spray, and I was shook! As an oily girl, my makeup stayed matte and blurred all day! So many setting sprays claim to do what this one actually does! I’m obsessed!❤️

Do not recommend Airbrush Matte Setting Spray

This spray definitely mattifies, but it’s a bit too drying on the skin. If you accidentally apply a little too much, it can make your makeup look patchy or even start to chip off. It does control shine, but the overall feeling isn’t great — my skin feels tight and uncomfortable after using it.

Bad setting spray and bad results

I’m very disappointed with this product. I was excited to try this matte setting spray because it had mostly positive reviews, but I really wish I had paid more attention to the negative ones. The mist is not fine at all—it sprays unevenly and heavily. The worst part is that once it dries, it makes my face look extremely dry and cakey, almost as if I have scales on my skin. I was shocked by how bad my makeup looked after using it. Unfortunately, I won’t be using this product again, and I...

Awesome product, terrible packaging.

This was an amazing product for my oily skin at first. I literally thought I found my HG. However, after some weeks the spray started coming out in blotches and sometimes a stream! That literally just ruined my makeup. Had to throw the whole hung out. If they repackage this I will definitely repurchase. Hopefully they will have this come out in a fine mist rather than a spray. I will be finding other setting sprays.

After using this product once, I rate this a one star. The sprayer is like a jet and shoots you in the face like a nerf water gun. It’s terrible! As for the actual liquid, I don’t know how well it holds up.

Another amazing product from CT

Works so well with my makeup. I was worried about the matte look with my maturing skin, but it looks great. I've been really surprised with how well my makeup lasts. I've gone over 14 hours with my makeup looking good!

nope

as others said, nozzle is awful. clogs easily. wastes so much product. at this price, please, get it together. on top of that it it made my makeup cake together almost every time I used it, to the point today after doing foundation concealer bronzer and then this, I had to go wash my face it was THAT bad. can't reccomend it at all.

klairie Nov 04, 2026

makes my makeup blotch. seriously, i had higher expectations, get the original bottle instead fo this

miss9515 Nov 02, 2026

The spray nozzle broke halfway through the bottle. I expected a higher quality spray bottle given how expensive this product is.
