Honestly, Is the LBLS 24H Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray Worth the Hype? (My Unfiltered Review)

Listen, we need to talk about the absolute tragedy that is spending 45 minutes on a full beat—contour blended to the gods, eyeliner sharp enough to kill—only to walk outside and have it literally slide off your face two hours later. If you have oily or combination skin like me, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s not just annoying; it’s heartbreaking.

I have a drawer full of “promising” setting sprays. Some feel like hairspray (sticky and gross), some smell like straight-up alcohol, and others are basically just expensive water that do absolutely nothing. So, when I stumbled across the LBLS 24H Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray, I was skeptical. Another “24-hour” claim? Yeah, right. I’ve heard that one before.

But here’s the thing—I kept seeing people mention the “fine mist” and the “oil control” capabilities, and my curiosity got the better of me. I decided to give it a proper road test. Not just a selfie test, but a full “wear it to work, run errands, and maybe sweat a little” test.

Is it a game-changing moment for my makeup routine, or just another bottle to gather dust? Let’s get into it.

First Impressions: The Packaging and The “Mist Test”

When the package arrived, the first thing I noticed was the size. It’s 55ml. Honestly? It’s a bit on the smaller side compared to some of the giant vat-sized sprays you can get at the drugstore, but it feels premium. It fits perfectly in my purse, which is a pro if you’re the type to touch up on the go (though, spoiler alert: I didn’t really need to).

Now, the most critical part of any setting spray review: The Nozzle.

I cannot stress this enough—a bad nozzle ruins a good product. There is nothing worse than finishing your makeup and then getting squirted in the eye by a rogue stream of liquid. I did a test spray in the air first.

Can you believe this? It’s actually a cloud. The description says “Soft Focus Fine Mist,” and for once, the marketing isn’t lying. It comes out as a super gentle, wide-angle fog. It feels silky smooth going on, not wet or dripping. It lands on the skin like a veil rather than a splash. Major points for LBLS here.

The Wear Test: Does it Survive a 12-Hour Day?

I don’t wear makeup for 24 hours (and please, for the love of your skin, don’t do that), but I do need it to last from 8 AM to 8 PM. Here is how the LBLS 24H Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray performed during my typical chaotic Tuesday.

8:00 AM – Application

I did my usual routine: primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush. I shook the LBLS bottle (always shake your sprays, guys!) and did the X and T motion over my face. It has a very faint, clean scent—nothing overpowering. It dried down in about 15 seconds. The finish wasn’t dead matte, but it wasn’t dewy either. It was… skin-like. Soft focus is a good way to describe it.

1:00 PM – The Lunch Check

Usually, by lunch, my nose is shining bright like a diamond. I checked my compact mirror. Okay, I was impressed. My T-zone was still matte. My blush hadn’t faded into oblivion. The “rapid film-formation” technology they talk about seems to create this invisible shield. It didn’t feel tight or crunchy, though. You know that feeling when you smile and your face feels like it’s going to crack? None of that here.

6:00 PM – End of Work

This is usually when things get ugly. Foundation starts separating around the nose, and mascara starts flaking. I gotta say, my base looked 90% as good as it did in the morning. I had a tiny bit of oil peeking through on my chin, but it looked like a “healthy glow” rather than “grease pit.” I didn’t even blot.

9:00 PM – The Final Verdict

After dinner and a walk, I finally looked in the bathroom mirror to wash my face. My makeup was still there. It hadn’t transferred onto my phone screen (which is my biggest pet peeve). Is it strictly 24 hours? I don’t know, but for a 13-hour stretch, it was a rockstar.

Ingredients That Actually Matter

I’m a bit of a skincare nerd, so I looked at what’s actually inside this bottle. It’s not just glue for your face.

Two things stood out to me:

1. Sodium Hyaluronate: This is basically Hyaluronic Acid. This explains why it doesn’t feel drying. A lot of “oil control” sprays suck the life out of your skin, leaving you looking cakey. This one balances the oil control with hydration.
2. Centella Asiatica Extract: I love this stuff. It’s also known as Cica or Tiger Grass. It’s super soothing. If you have sensitive skin that gets red easily, having this in a setting spray is a huge bonus. It calms the skin down while locking the makeup in.

How It Stacks Up Against the Competition

I’ve tried the high-end $40 sprays and the $8 drugstore ones. Here is where I think the LBLS fits in the landscape.

Feature	LBLS 24H Setting Spray	Typical High-End Brand	Cheap Drugstore Brand
Mist Quality	Super Fine / Cloud-like	Fine	Often spitting/droplets
Finish	Soft Focus Matte	Natural	Shiny or too dry
Scent	Light/Fresh	Often heavy fragrance	Chemical/Alcohol
Price	$27.97 (Mid-range)	$38 – $45	$10 – $15

The Good, The Bad, and The Honest

No product is perfect, and I promised you an honest review. While I am genuinely adding this to my daily rotation, there are a couple of things you should know before you buy.

Who Is This Really For?

I don’t think every single product is for every single person. Makeup is personal. But after using this for a week, I have a pretty good idea of who is going to fall in love with this spray.

Is It Worth It?

So, is the LBLS 24H Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray worth the $27.97 price tag?

Here is my take: If you are tired of your makeup fading and you want something that feels luxurious to apply and actually works, then yes. It bridges the gap between those super-drying matte sprays and the hydrating ones that don’t last. It gives you the best of both worlds.

I’ve replaced my old go-to spray with this one for my daily routine. It just makes my skin look better, smoother, and more “finished.” And at the end of the day, isn’t that what we all want?

If you want to stop checking the mirror every hour to see if your face is melting, give this a shot. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the LBLS Setting Spray work for dry skin?

Yes, I actually think it’s great for dry skin too. Even though it controls oil, it has Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) which holds moisture. It won’t make your dry patches look crusty like some intense matte sprays do. It leaves a natural, soft finish.

Is it waterproof?

While it is water-resistant and sweat-resistant (it survived my fast-walk to the train station in humidity), I wouldn’t go swimming with a full face of glam. But for rain, sweat, and tears? You’re covered.

Can I use this as a primer too?

Absolutely! I tried spraying it before my foundation and after. Using it before helps the foundation grip the skin better. It’s like double-locking your makeup. Highly recommend trying the “sandwich method” (spray, makeup, spray) if you have a really long night ahead.

Does it cause breakouts?

I have acne-prone skin and I didn’t experience any breakouts with this. The formula is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), and the Centella extract actually helps soothe existing inflammation.

How long does the 55ml bottle last?

This depends on how much you spray. I use about 4-5 pumps per application. At that rate, using it 5 days a week, I estimate this bottle will last about 6-8 weeks. Since the mist is so fine, you don’t waste product, which helps it last longer.
