Radiance was the focus of the makeup at Kallmeyer’s SS26 show, created by makeup artist James Boehmer. He achieved a velvety, luminous base using Saie’s Slip Tint Concealer and Setting Powder. Cheeks were brightened with a sweep of powder blush applied high for a lifted effect, while lips were given a glossy finish with the Glossybounce Lip Gloss Oil. However, maintaining that glow requires care—without it, radiance can easily turn oily as the day goes on. Fortunately, Boehmer had a few top-secret bottles of Saie’s then-unreleased CitySet Setting Spray on hand. And today, that very formula is available exclusively to Vogue readers.

Since the show’s look centered on skin texture—a multidimensional effect combining matte, radiant, and glossy finishes strategically placed to sculpt with light—Boehmer wanted to ensure these finishes stayed intact. “Flawless dimension comes from applying the right finish to the right area, and how you set your makeup can easily disrupt that delicate balance,” he explains. “Many setting sprays feel heavy, almost glue-like on the skin, and end up blending all those details together.” What stood out to him about CitySet was its ultra-fine, weightless mist. “How a setting spray sprays often tells you a lot about how it will perform on the skin.”

This performance is exactly why Saie decided to create a setting spray in the first place. According to founder and CEO Lane Crowell, it was the most-requested product from their community. “I thought about how full and layered our customers’ days are, and wanted something that could keep up from morning meetings to dinner and dancing at night,” she says.

Why We Love It: Designed for 16 hours of wear, Saie’s CitySet Setting Spray extends makeup longevity without harsh or irritating ingredients. “Our goal was a formula that prevents makeup from fading, smudging, or melting throughout the day,” Crowell notes. “We wanted it to feel weightless, comfortable, and hydrating—never greasy.”

Key Ingredients: Hydrolyzed corn starch, propanediol, glycogen, mandarin orange extract
Size: 95 ml; 30 ml

Traditional setting sprays often rely on harsh ingredients or deliver a tacky, hairspray-like mist that can be damaging to skin and the environment. “They use aerosols and synthetic film formers that can feel heavy, cause irritation, and lead to breakouts,” Crowell adds. That’s why perfecting the spray delivery was a major focus for Saie. The brand spent five of its six years developing this product, testing over 10 options before finalizing the formula. The result is a non-aerosol, ultrafine continuous mist that avoids chemical propellants—allowing for precise control, even application, and quick absorption.

Staying true to Saie’s “clean-meets-high-performance” philosophy, the spray not only feels elegant to apply but is also packed with skin-loving ingredients. Hydrolyzed corn starch—which mimics synthetic polymers to lock makeup in place for 16 hours—is the star. It also includes humectants for a fresh glow and mandarin orange extract to soothe skin and protect against environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays. And as Crowell points out, it’s dermatologist-tested and suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive, dry, and acne-prone skin.

I’ve been testing this setting spray in secret since September, and I can confidently say…It was well worth the wait. The formula feels like a face mist on the skin, dispensing as a fine, surprisingly even spray that never messes up your makeup. The finish strikes a perfect balance—not too dry or too dewy—enhancing your natural glow while seamlessly blending your face products together. “When you build a beautiful complexion layer by layer, you want a setting product that won’t disrupt that delicate balance,” adds Boehmer. CitySet delivers: it worked perfectly for me on a girls’ trip to Greece in the late summer heat, in New York City’s early winter chill, and everywhere in between.

“Ultimately, we wanted CitySet to show that clean beauty can perform at the highest level and fit into anyone’s lifestyle,” Crowell continues. “Our goal has always been to actually improve your skin while you wear our products. Achieving that with a setting spray is a game-changer.”
