If there is a time when you want your make-up to absolutely not budge, it's during a stint in the Love Island villa.
We're talking: the hot, HOT South African sun, approx. 294820 hidden cameras (prepped and ready to capture a bit of smudged mascara on your cheek) and that lucrative post-Love Island PLT deal dangling in front of you like a carrot. Not to mention the constant chats, challenges and camaraderie with people you fancy. Reader, the stakes have never been higher.
So when the Love Island girls love and swear by a setting spray, everyone needs to keep schtum and take notes. Especially when the make-up locking elixir in question is just £10.
In an exclusive chat with Closer Love Island Secrets, Casa Amor's Cynthia Otseh-Taiwoand Laya Al-Momanirevealed the beauty products they loved in the villa.
Cynthia said, "There was a setting spray, well Lydia said it was a really good setting spray, it's theBenefit Porefessional Super Setter Spray .
Layla replies, "Yeah, to be fair all the girls were using that."
Cynthia adds, "It's really really good."

If you're feeling particularly fancy, you can buy the full-sized bottle for £26 on Boots.
The girls also shared how they were big fans of theFenty Gloss Bomb in Hot Cherry and we are not even a tiny bit surprised as it's a Love Island Villa Staple. In fact, Love Island's Millie Court previously revealed how the season 7 girls got through a bottle of Fenty Gloss Bomb a week.
To be fair, they do get dolled up more times in one week than eat vegetables or message our friends back on WhatsApp.
Millie shared, “One of the villa staples was the Fenty Gloss Bomb in the colour Fenty Glow. Me and the girls would literally go through a bottle of this a week, I’m not joking we were obsessed with it, and I now use it literally every single day."

Different ways to use a setting spray:
As a primer: spray the mist over freshly moisturised skin to prime your skin for make-up application. A godsend for nights out.
As a make-up refresher: y'know when make-up looks a bit rubbish a few hours after application? Yep, well a setting spray can help refresh your hard work for a 'just applied' finish. Mwahaha.
As a heatwave essential: keep your bottle in the fridge and use to cool yourself down when you're feeling hot and bothered. Thank us later.
