NYX Professional Matte Finish Fini Mat Setting Spray is a lightweight, water-based setting spray that provides a matte, shine-free finish. It aims to lock your makeup in place, preventing it from fading, smudging, or transferring, and helps absorb excess oil for a fresh, “just-applied” look that can last for up to 16 hours. It’s especially popular among those with oily skin types.
Key Ingredients Of NYX Professional Matte Finish Fini Mat Setting Spray 60ml
- Water (Aqua/Eau): The primary solvent for the other ingredients.
- Alcohol: Acts as an antimicrobial/antibacterial agent, a solvent, and helps with quick drying. While some may find alcohol drying, it’s often included in formulas for oily skin to provide a matte finish.

- Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract and Mahonia Aquifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract: These can offer soothing, antioxidant, and antimicrobial benefits.
