COOLA Makeup Setting Spray SPF30 50ml Customer Reviews

Smells and burns

Tried to replace the sunscreen stick that I use to reapply SPF over makeup during the day with this spray. Huge mistake :( I have never sprayed acetone on my face, but this is what I imagine it feels like.I can't call my skin sensitive, and products rarely cause any discomfort, but this one does burn. And the smell... I had to keep my eyes closed (really tightly shut) and hold my breath while applying and for 20-30 seconds after.

Strong smell

Bottle feels nice, but the smell is really strong - alkohol smell. Will be continuing using.

Great setting spray all year long!

This is now the second time I repurchase this spray, and it will become a year-long staple. I took away one star because I'm not a big fan of the "minty" cooling feeling in leaves on your skin, however it is very light compared to some other sprays and it's therefore not a big deal. In summer it can be appreciated, while in other seasons it might be too much, especially winter. But I think it's not too overpowering and I can totally live with it. My skin is dry, pale and prone to sensitivity. I need a lot of hydration. What I really like is: it sets your makeup for the day, even in summer when your skin can become sweaty, it keeps your makeup in place even during sport activities, it kind of melts the makeup into a nice even piece of art on your face so it almost looks like airbrushed, it doesn't dry out my skin, it's lightweight, so no heavy feeling of a film on your face, gentle to my sensitive eyes, it evaporates quickly, and it has sun screen! I simply love it!

I really like it

I am allergic to un, so I need to reapply the SPF throughout the day. I have combo skin and it's often difficult to not get oily in the summer, when reapplying. This is great, it's such a rare product. Yes, when you spray it first, it stings eyes. BUT after literally 15s that feeling disappears and it's all good. It's been very useful for me, when I was doing make up and going out at 8pm everyday in Ibiza. You know it's an island so it's humid, but also extremely hot, especially for me. I feel this product is under-appreciated. 4 stars only, because I am not sure how safe it is with the sun. I couldn't find data, and I didn't rely on it for sun protection. Anyways, I will def repurchase!

A pass for me

I loved the idea of SPF and setting spray in one. The product however was a huge disappointment. It stung my eyes and face and the smell is like literally spraying pure alcohol on my face. Also my face felt super dry after using this. I will not repurchase and will not even use it up.

Happy with this

Yes this products does contain alcohol but if you are going to spend the day out in the heat with a full face of make up then I would hardly recommend. Makeup will stay in place and what makes it a fantastic product is the SPF so I pop it into my bag and spray every couple of hours. I don’t use it every day but this is what you need if you intend on reapplying SPF throughout the day keeping your makeup faultless.

Love it

I use it to refresh my SPF throughout the day on top of makeup and it does the job well. It might sting if you get it in your eyes which is why the instructions says close your eyes! But if you let it dry completely then it’s not an issue at all. I love the cooling scent and it doesn’t melt my makeup, unlike other SPF sprays I’ve used. Another tip is, cover your hair when you spray. It makes your hair crunchy. My only gripe is that it’s expensive. I’ve only used it occasionally in a two week period and it’s a third gone. Would still repurchase though as there aren’t many like this in the UK market (plenty in Asia) and sun protection is paramount.

It actually stings

I bought this with the intention of setting my make up and keeping my spf fresh throughout the day. I’ve used this product a few times now and every time I use it it makes my skin feel greasy and oily and it burns it some areas where my skin is delicate. If it gets anywhere near my eyes, it’s game over for eye make up. I wouldn’t recommend if you have sensitive or oily prone skin.

Coola is front-runner

Finally a Spf spray, fixer combo, super-goop spray and revamped spray just doesn’t make the cut:( this sprays evenly and the only negative is alcohol. Why oh why? In this day and age I have yet to understand the plethora of SPF sprays, but only 3 players out there are for face....2 of these the dispenser is AWFUL!! Thanks Coola, but idk if I’ll be repurchasing. Is there anyway no alcohol. Idk...I can only hope..
