E.l.f. is a very affordable drugstore brand in overseas and also in the Nepalese market, I was so excited when I recently discovered the store where I could get all E.l.f. products in one shop itself. E.l.f. has a reasonably priced makeup line that produces quality makeup cosmetics but is misconceived to be lower quality due to its cheaper price. Any brands with a lower price could be a hit or a miss based on one's perception as the product that you love might work for you but might not work for me and E.l.f. is also no exception.

My Experience with E.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set:
Today I'm sharing my own experience using this awesome E.l.f. product. I got this spray about a month ago from Civil Mall and since then, I've been using it constantly every other day or so for approximately 3 weeks and I'm loving it. In overseas, E.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set has got so popular that even most of the top YouTube makeup artists have compared it with the original Mac Studio Fix + that cots $22 and E.l.f Makeup Setting Spray is a perfect dupe of it. As I was unknown on where I could buy the Mac Studio Fix + here, I in turn looked for E.l.f. spray which was so much cheaper and easily available here in Nepal. I therefore splurged on it.
I'd like to say that this is definitely the product that I can't live without. I'm going to start off by telling you how I actually use the E.l.f. spray and then explain you on what I liked about it and stuffs I don't like about it.
I first put on my primer followed by concealer and then foundation and I set it up with my translucent powder and sometimes I put on a little bronzer and blush. After it, I spray 2-3 pumps and it will leave your face kind of wet. I know...somebody said that they didn't like how it left their face feeling wet and I quite felt the same. So, I just dab my Beauty Blender on my face to absorb excess wetness to make the skin dry a little quicker. It seems to give my face a complete look without any oily, cakey finish & honestly, I feel that it makes my foundation last all day and gives me a remarkably dewy finish.
Fortunately, until now it hasn't caused any skin breakout on me. As for longevity, I totally believe that it keeps my foundation much longer than without using it as it lasted for 4 hours. I haven't used any other makeup setting spray in the past so I cannot make any comparisons with other products. But in regards to this product's use, it is worth for its price. Beside my love for this product, the only thing I don't like about this spray bottle is it's nozzle which doesn't work perfectly and it also doesn't always give smooth dispersion of the product as I felt like it wasn't consistently giving me even spray. To sum up my experience, this E.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set spray is an amazing product for the price what we pay and now, my makeup is incomplete without using this spray.
