ICYMI, Urban Decay exited Singapore a while back and with it is the departure of its well-loved makeup products. Yes, including the trusted All-Nighter Setting Spray that has made our bomb makeup looks last through sweat, humidity, and wild nights. Aside from stocking up on backups, which are quickly flying off of Sephora's shelves, you may want to start looking for setting spray dupes that will give the same stronghold and lasting power to your makeup. Here are some recommendations you can find in Singapore.
1. Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray Oil Control
