    When you have a party that begins at 9 pm, but you have your make-up on by 7 pm—the only way to ensure it stays put is a setting spray. It won't let makeup slide down your face and will deliver hydration making you feel refreshed.

    But, with so many setting sprays in the market, which one is worth your money? For starters, a good setting spray should feel weightless. The mist needs to be broader to ensure it covers your face in exactly three sprays and must feel nourishing.

    Whether you want a smooth canvas for foundation, end up having an oily T-zone after a few hours of applying makeup or simply prevent shine...we have you covered.

    We've put together a list of the best setting sprays for every festival and occasion. Take a look...

    How does a setting spray work?

    When you use a setting spray on your face, it creates an almost protective film over your makeup. The alcohol present in the setting spray acts like an element that will repel water.

    However, it also comes with polymers and forms of glycerin to ensure it is safe and gentle to use.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
