A hand holds one setting spray, with text describing its features: a dewy finish, lightweight feel, and ingredients like aloe vera and green tea. A hand swatch shows a shiny, hydrated effect.

A hand holds another setting spray, with text detailing its characteristics: a natural finish, mist-like spray, and ingredients like glycerin and niacinamide. A hand swatch shows a natural-looking effect.
