If your For You Page has served you approximately 47 setting spray tutorials this week, you already know Revolution’s Superfix Misting Spray is having a moment. The Super Hold formula alone has racked up more than 10.3 million views on TikTok, and Revolution says it sold 450,000 bottles in the first 18 months.
At $16 a pop, the drugstore-friendly price tag helps explain why the line keeps blowing up on beauty TikTok. But the real reason people keep restocking? There are four different formulas, each doing something specific for your face, from a “no transfer on your pillow” matte lockdown to a hydrating mist you can spritz over full glam midday.
Here is the full lineup.
Super Hold, the Viral Matte One
This is the formula that started the whole TikTok cascade. Super Hold is an ultra-matte, shine-free setting spray with a lightweight feel, infused with aloe and vitamin E to keep it from feeling stiff or crunchy on the skin. It is the one you have been seeing in every “makeup that lasts through a night out” video, and the numbers back it up. Ten point three million TikTok views. 450,000 bottles sold in the first 18 months.
One reviewer wrote, “Best fixing ever🙌 Don’t think I’d ever switch to any other sprays other than this.”
Another shopper vouched for its staying power after a full Halloween night. “this is probably going to be a my go-to fixing spray to use for nights out because after passing out on Halloween I wokeup and had no transfer of my lipstick on my pillow and it had barely smudged,” they wrote.
Hydra Cool, the Midday Refresh
If your skin gets thirsty by 3 p.m., this is the one. Hydra Cool preps, sets and refreshes your face throughout the day with a cooling, hydrating finish. It is powered by aloe vera to soothe and moisturize plus coconut water to hydrate and refresh, which basically translates to a spa-in-a-bottle vibe you can carry in your going-out bag.
Think of it as the setting spray equivalent of a cold plunge, a quick spritz between meetings, before a mirror selfie or after a workout when your makeup is still hanging on but your skin needs some help.
Ultra Glow, the Pearlescent One
For girls chasing a lit-from-within finish, Ultra Glow preps, sets and gives a summer glow to your base. It is infused with shimmering pearlescent particles for that radiant filter-in-real-life effect, plus skin-loving ingredients like caffeine to energize the skin and argan oil to moisturize.
This is the spray to reach for when you want your highlight and your skin to look like the same thing. Pair it with a dewy foundation and a cream blush and you have got your soft-launch aesthetic sorted.
All Night Long, the 16-Hour Lockdown
The name says it all. All Night Long is an ultra-matte waterproof fixing spray tested for up to 16 hours of wear, which is longer than most concert nights, wedding receptions and red-eye flights combined. It is infused with green tea extract and witch hazel to help refresh and balance the skin while controlling excess oil.
Reach for this one on festival days, humid summer weddings and any occasion where your face needs to survive tears, sweat or a surprise dance-floor cardio session.
Do Setting Sprays Actually Work
Short answer, yes, especially if you use them right.
“Setting sprays absolutely make a difference in the wear of your makeup,” makeup artist Gloria Elias-Foeillet told Byrdie. “They prolong the life of your makeup application.” She swears by using a setting spray when working with performers, which tracks given how much movement, sweat and stage lighting they deal with.
Elias-Foeillet’s go-to technique is layered. “Usually you spray it on after you have finished applying your makeup, but sometimes if I need it to be more waterproof, I spray it after each step of a makeup application (i.e. after base, eyes, blush, powder, etc),” she said.
For maximum staying power, she recommends starting with your primer, then your base makeup like foundation and concealer, then spritzing your setting spray all over the face so that first layer really sticks. Build the rest of your look on top.
