"Super cheap and affordable and your makeup WILL NOT move. This one is definitely going under the category of Holy Grail!

With temperatures rising to well into the thirties in the UK, people who wear makeup are STRUGGLING. If you're a beauty fan, you'll know the pain of putting on a full face only to have it melted off in a sad puddle of sweat almost as soon as you step outside the house.

Baking your makeup can help (we recommend Revolution's £5.99 Loose Baking Powder - it's really, really good), but to make sure your make-up goes the extra mile, you should invest in an effective setting spray.

Beauty fans are now praising a 'magic' £5 spray from Boots. e.l.f. Makeup Mist & Set Clear Spray costs a very reasonable £5 per bottle, and is designed to hold your face and eye makeup in place all day and to revitalize makeup color with just a few sprays.

The formula contains aloe, green tea, cucumber, and vitamins A, C, and E to soothe and hydrate the skin. Spray on your brush or sponge prior to makeup application for extended hold and vibrant color. The £5 spray has already racked up hundreds of five star reviews online, with some saying they will never use anything else again.

One five-star reviewer wrote: "I mixed it with my foundation and used my blender sponge, it was dewy look and was same until end of the day. I have a combination skin and I used Elf putting primer before my foundation. I am never changing my products now."

Another said: "This is my all time favorite setting spray. Works great!" A third reviewer wrote: "I wanted to try a new setting spray and grabbed this one! Super cheap and affordable and your makeup WILL NOT move. Very great for the price and it gets the job done! Definitely will be repurchasing!"

Another beauty buff raved: "I've been using this setting spray for a couple years now. Works great." Somebody else responded: "After an excruciatingly long week at work, I broke The Cardinal Rule of Skincare and slept in makeup last night. Imagine my surprise to wake this morning and find my face still intact! Beautiful fine mist, soft matte finish and faint and pleasant scent (almost reminiscent of cinnamon) it's no wonder e.l.f. makeup mist & set was named one of Allure's Best Makeup Setting Spray's of All Time! Fantastic quality - great price - this one is definitely going under the category of Holy Grail!"

Somebody else gave the spray five stars, writing: "This setting spray is really nice because it doesnt make you feel like you're wearing hair spray on your face all day, but you can feel how it keeps your makeup in tact, which gives you confidence that your make up looks good. When I finish my make up, I like to specifically spray this over my eyes to keep my eyeshadow from smudging."
