The beauty world is not short of products that promise to lock your make-up into place once you've gone through the hard work of applying it. There are pre-treatments that include hardworking, skin-perfecting primers, finely formulated setting powders and then there are setting sprays. While any make-up aficionado's routine usually encompasses all three, for me it's the latter I can't be without. My love of make-up setting sprays has seen me through an eclectic array of offerings, but there is one single product that reigns supreme in my routine: Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, which is still on sale this Cyber Monday.
I have a vivid memory of the product's first launch to market. It was the summer of 2020 and the UK had just come out (momentarily) from the depths of its first Coronavirus lockdown, social spaces like restaurants and hairdressers were opening up again and I marked the occasion by trying to get back into the flow of wearing make-up after the working from home-induced hiatus. Getting my hands on Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray was all the encouragement I needed, after all it was the iconic brand's first brush with this category of make-up. But I wasn't the only one to be excited by the launch. In fact, when it launched in July, the product sold out within 24 hours of its release - and now I know why.

Description
A next generation setting spray which works to both prime your skin ahead of make-up and lock things into place post-application. You'll love it for its instantly blurring, smoothing and a naturally glowy finish.
The award-winning setting spray is featherweight and promises to lock make-up into place with an airbrush finish. A smoothing and soothing blend of aloe vera, Japanese green tea and aromatic resin make the spray a calming and hydrating treat for the skin while the uplifting scent of florals makes spritzing a sensory haven. The most notable thing though? Its high-performance quality. The hybrid formula makes it perfect for priming skin ahead of make-up while also locking things into place post-application.
If you've ever wanted to try the viral beauty buy – it's received 182.5M views on TikTok – today would be the day to act. This Cyber Monday, the setting spray is available for just £13.60, 20% off its original price. Heed our advice: grab yours before it's too late.
My honest review of the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
Granted, there are many (many) make-up setting sprays on the market, but I'll be the first to say that not all of them are built equally. When it comes to next level, new-gen, hard-working mists, Charlotte Tilbury's is a no-brainer. From first use, I was highly doubtful about its 'Airbrush' finish claims but seriously taken aback to discover they were true. After a generous misting, I was left with a blurred and smoothed finish which bore the same 'Paris filter in a bottle' qualities as the brand's well-loved Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter Foundation, £31.20. My make-up really did stay in place for as long as I needed and all without that uncomfortable, tight or dry sensation. My most notable takeaways though? The glow factor this product imparts which works hand in hand with the airbrush finish, plus the fine mist that the pump deposits to give you an even veil of dewy coverage. This really is love at first spritz.
