Beauty fans say it's an 'essential' part of their makeup routine during the summer

Being out in the sunshine is one of the best parts of summer - but realising your makeup has melted off your face in the heat has got to be one of the worst.

Setting sprays are a must-have product in any makeup bag during the summer months as they help your makeup looks last longer - something that can be particularly difficult to achieve during a heatwave. They can help mattify shine or give your skin a lasting glow, depending which spray you use.

But with so many options on the market and with prices ranging from just a few pounds to over £20, it can be difficult to know which one's right for you. One low-cost option has attracted rave reviews online, with Boots shoppers swearing that it 'keeps makeup in place all day long' - even in the heat.
