The Setting Spray Spotted in Rihanna’s Makeup Bag … And Why We’re Low-Key Obsessed

We just caught a glimpse directly inside Rihanna’s makeup bag (okay, technically, via her legendary makeup artist Priscilla Ono, but you get the gist). And, you know we zoomed in on every product like we’d just “found love in a hopeless place”. The object of our affection? French cult fave: Clarins Fix’ Make-Up Spray.

In the now-viral video, Priscilla casually spritzes the setting spray mid-glam and says, “I actually love Clarins… it actually makes your skin look like skin again!” And, honestly, we’ve never added a product to cart faster.

So, what makes this mist worthy of a spot in the Barbadian queen’s beauty arsenal?

Let’s start with the basics: 24-hour hold, a non-transferring formula, and radiance that lasts through sweat, humidity and ring lights. One spritz and your makeup is locked in like a vault—no sliding, smudging or fading. It’s got that kind of second-skin finish that keeps things looking fresh, never cakey. Think: dewy, glowing, “I just woke up like this” perfection.

But, it’s not just a makeup setting spray – it’s a skin care moment too. Thanks to Clarins’ iconic plant-based Anti-Pollution Complex, it hydrates, soothes, and protects your skin from all the stressors we face every day (including the dreaded blue light from your phone). Plus, the gentle rose petal fragrance? Pure spa vibes in a bottle.

The real flex comes from Alpine rose extract, straight from Domaine Clarins, which doesn’t just refresh – it boosts the glow of your bare skin over time. So yes, even when you’re makeup-free, you’re still serving face.

TL;DR? Rihanna’s glow might be genetic, but her long-lasting glam is definitely getting some help from this misty miracle. And, now that the secret’s out, we’ll be spraying our way to super star skin, that shines bright like a diamond, too.
