Life Lock™ hydrating setting spray

tarte Life Lock™ hydrating setting spray is the last step that holds a face in place — tarte rates it for up to 16 hours of setting. It also doubles as a primer and a refresher, so the same bottle can start your base and revive it hours later.

What it actually does

• Locks makeup for up to 16 hours. That figure comes from tarte's own testing, alongside claims that it makes makeup waterproof, sweatproof and transfer-proof.
• Works as ten steps in one. tarte positions it as a primer, setting spray, hydrator, refresher and smoother in a single bottle.
• Hydrates while it sets. Hyaluronic acid and a complex of 10-plus superfruits are in the formula to nourish and add moisture rather than leave a dry, tight film.
• Bakuchiol for the look of fine lines. The brand includes it to help soften their appearance and even out how skin reads.
• Caffeine. Listed by tarte for an energising effect and a visibly depuffed look.
• Intensifies eyeshadow. Misting a brush before picking up shadow deepens the colour payoff.
• Vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free. Free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, sulfates SLS and SLES, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, coal tar, retinyl palmitate, triclosan, triclocarban and formaldehyde-releasing agents, with under one percent synthetic fragrance. Packaging is recyclable.
• Panel results. In a tarte clinical and consumer study of 31 subjects, 100% agreed it set their makeup, made skin look hydrated and left skin feeling refreshed. Self-reported; results vary.

How to use

1. Shake first. Give the bottle a good shake before every use.
2. Set your finished face. Hold it eight to ten inches away and spray two to four times, tracing an "X" and then a "T" across the face.
3. Layer it in. Mist between foundation, concealer or primer to keep the base looking like skin and extend its wear.
4. Boost your shadow. Spritz your eyeshadow brush before you pick up colour for a bolder, more saturated finish.
5. Prime your tools. A light mist on sponges and brushes helps products set as you build them.
6. Refresh any time. Carry it and re-mist through the day when skin needs reviving.
