The verdict
Urban Decay's reformulated cult setting spray claims 24-hour waterproof wear, but many longtime fans say the new formula falls short.
All Nighter is Urban Decay's long-running setting spray, relaunched in 2025 with an ultra-fine mist and claims of up to 24-hour waterproof, sweat- and transfer-resistant wear with a natural, soft-blur finish. The change ended Urban Decay's partnership with Skindinavia, which made the original, and the new version is divisive: a 2026 blog review still rates it a strong long-wear spray for oily and combination skin, while many Reddit users call it inferior. Denatured alcohol is its second ingredient and it contains fragrance.
Best for
- Oily and combination skin that needs makeup to survive heat and humidity
- Long days and events where transfer resistance matters
- Shoppers who never used the original formula
What we love
- Claims up to 24-hour wear that is waterproof, sweat- and transfer-resistant
- Ultra-fine mist that the brand says sprays evenly without disturbing makeup
- Natural, soft-blur finish suited to oily and combination skin
- Can be used to prime, to blend creams with powders and to set
- Sold in 1.0, 4.0 and 8.01 oz sizes at Ulta
Worth knowing
- Many longtime fans on Reddit call the reformulation inferior to the Skindinavia-made original
- Denatured alcohol is the second ingredient, which can bother very dry or reactive skin
- Contains fragrance
- Reddit users say cheaper Skindinavia-made sprays are closer to the old formula
How it scored
The breakdown.
Five factors, weighted for makeup. Here’s our working.
7.5Good
Beauty score out of 10. Brands can’t pay for placement — ever.
- Payoff & performance30%7.6
Urban Decay promises a natural, soft-blur finish from a finer mist, and a 2026 blog review still rates it a strong long-wear spray, but many Reddit users say the reformulation performs worse.
- Wear time15%8.2
It claims up to 24 hours of waterproof, sweat- and transfer-resistant wear, and the blogger says it still helps makeup hold up in heat and humidity on oily and combination skin.
- Shade range & inclusivity15%7.8
A clear mist that works on any skin tone; Urban Decay sells the glow and matte finishes as separate sprays.
- Value20%7.4
At $34 for 4.0 oz it is mid-priced per ounce, but Reddit users note that Skindinavia's sprays, which they say match the old formula, cost less per ounce.
- Community love20%6.6
Once a cult favorite, it now draws heavy Reddit backlash over the 2025 reformulation and the end of the Skindinavia partnership, with longtime fans switching brands.

MaddieMixed
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray is still a strong long-wear setting spray, especially for oily and combination skin that needs better makeup hold in heat and humidity. The reformulation made it more divisive than before, but it remains a solid choice if your priority is makeup longevity rather than hydration.
r/BeautyGuruChatterCritical
The UD all nighter when mine runs out. She’s on her last legs but I’ll be damned if I buy the inferior reformulation
r/drugstoreMUACritical
Right? It's like UD changing the formula for the All Nighter setting spray, and now it sucks.
r/BeautyGuruChatterCritical
I’m almost done with my last bottle of All Nighter and I’m going to make the switch to their setting spray.

FAQ
Good questions.
What changed in the new All Nighter?
Urban Decay relaunched All Nighter in 2025 as an upgrade with up to 24-hour wear, a new ultra-fine mist and three finishes, after ending its partnership with Skindinavia, which made the original. Creators and Reddit users are divided on whether the new version matches the old one.
Is it good for dry skin?
It is better suited to normal, combination and oily skin. Alcohol is the second listed ingredient, and one blogger says very dry, reactive or barrier-damaged skin may dislike alcohol-heavy setting sprays like this one.
How do you use it?
Shake well, hold the bottle 6 to 8 inches from your face and mist at least 10 times in an X and T pattern with your eyes and mouth closed. Urban Decay says it can also be used to prime and to blend cream and powder products.
Does it contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list on Ulta's product page includes parfum (fragrance), along with denatured alcohol, PVP and glycerin.
