Nigella Lawson, the new judge on The Great British Bake Off, has revealed that ICONIC London's Prep, Set, Glow setting spray is the product behind her glowing complexion. The £26 mist is designed to give skin a fresh, luminous finish while helping to set makeup.
Nigella's change of heart
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Lawson admitted she was previously skeptical of setting sprays, assuming the product's shimmer was intended for a younger demographic. She said: "Before leaving the house, I spritz with an unexpected treasure [referring to ICONIC's formula]. It looks alarmingly wet just after you've sprayed it, but shortly subsides to a most alluring non-glittery gleam. I've never gone in for setting sprays before, plus I rather thought the lustre of this particular one made it a young person's product, but my poor old skin comes alive with this radiant finish."
Celebrity favourites and alternatives
Nigella isn't the only celebrity highlighting high-performing setting mists. Molly-Mae Hague regularly recommends ONE/SIZE's On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray for long-lasting wear. The formula has been used by makeup artist Rokael Lizama to preserve Beyoncé's makeup during the Renaissance World Tour, as well as by artist Madeline Cope for Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
For those seeking an affordable alternative, Milani's Make It Last Setting Spray Prime + Correct + Set remains a popular choice among consumers at £15.
Shopper reviews
Beauty fans have shared their thoughts about ICONIC London's Prep, Set, Glow online. One raved: "Absolutely love this product - had a lot of comments about my makeup since I've been using this. Great value for money too." Someone else wrote: "Can't be without it, superb product. I feel naked without it, as this brightens my face so much."
However, there were some comments about the formula, with one person saying: "Was excited to use this after finishing my makeup but felt it was too glittery for my face; it was nice on the chest, though."
