Sure, there are snog-proof lipsticks and sex-proof mascaras, but there's only one beauty product that should, by definition, be able to handle those hot-and-heavy moments. That, my friends, is a good setting spray.

Once thought of as just another way for beauty brands to take your money, setting spray has become a bona fide necessity in any beauty-lover's arsenal. The spritz covers makeup like a seal, ensuring it doesn't budge for anything, and often provides skincare benefits as well.

Of course, most days we just use it for when it's hot as heck outside or if we're planning to sob through This Is Us. But sometimes, life calls for a little lovin'. And that's where the following 11 sex-proof setting sprays come in. We're all adults here, so we'll leave the rest up to your imagination!

Urban Decay All Nighter Pollution Protection

Urban Decay All Nighter Pollution Protection

If a setting spray can last through a smoldering 90-degree day in New York City, it'll also have your back when you're feeling frisky. This Urban Decay All Nighter Pollution Protection ($34) is made of a combination of minerals and zinc that protect against both environmental elements and melting makeup. The cool thing here is that this mist actually lowers the temperature of the products you slather on your face, which leaves you feeling refreshed and recharged.

Boscia White Charcoal Mattifying MakeUp Setting Spray

Boscia White Charcoal Mattifying MakeUp Setting Spray

We all know how fabulously charcoal draws out impurities from the skin to leave you with a clear complexion. This Boscia White Charcoal Mattifying MakeUp Setting Spray ($38) is made from that ingredient's lighter cousin, which moisturizes skin while sealing makeup in place. It also doesn't hurt that artichoke leaf extract reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, so along with setting your foundation, this spritz also helps it cover up blemishes and dark spots.

Milani Make It Last Setting Spray

This matte Milani Make It Last Setting Spray ($10) has an average of five-star reviews at Ulta since it keeps makeup in place for 16 hours and blends into makeup seamlessly. It doesn't hurt that it carries a sweet fragrance that sort of makes this spritz double as a refreshing face mist.

NYX Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray

If it can last through a car crash and subsequent 12-hour trip to the hospital, you know its good. This NYX Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray ($8) has quickly become a bestselling cult-favorite option as it's made of a blend of glycol, alcohol, water, and sodium salt that seals in moisture.

PÜR Miracle Mist Hydrating Spray

Newsflash: vegans can get in on setting sprays, too. This gentle, cruelty-free PÜR Miracle Mist Hydrating Spray ($13, originally $18) is a nonirritating option. Use it to soften mineral makeup and get rid of those pesky creases.

Milk Makeup Blur Spray

Another stellar vegan spritz is this Milk Makeup Blur Spray ($38). As the name implies, it blurs out pores, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Pair it with a no-makeup makeup look and the secret admirers will be lining up outside your door.

Pretty Vulgar Lock It In Makeup Setting Spray

Pretty Vulgar Lock It In Makeup Setting Spray

Real talk: we know you're mostly drawn to this Pretty Vulgar Lock It In Makeup Setting Spray ($30) for the adorable millennial-pink-yet-somehow-vintage-inspired-too look of the bottle. And that's OK! But once you get past aesthetics, you'll see this cruelty-free and vegan spritz is one of the lightest options out there. It truly feels like nothing, yet somehow works wonders to elongate the lifespan on cream blushes and highlighters.

Models Own One Night Stand 2 in 1 Prime + Set Spray

Models Own One Night Stand 2 in 1 Prime + Set Spray

This Models Own One Night Stand 2 in 1 Prime + Set Spray ($8) is made with rosewater (aka that magical stuff that makes up Mario Badescu's Facial Spray). This toning ingredient is both anti-inflammatory and calming, so spritz this one on when those third-date nerves hit.

Essence Instant Matt Makeup Setting Spray

If dancers swear by a setting spray, you'll probably want to pick it up for all your horizontal tangoing. This Essence Instant Matt Makeup Setting Spray ($5) is light as air yet truly shine-killing. It usually lasts about eight hours (as opposed to some other sprays on this list that can clock up to 16), but that's probably still more than enough time for you to get the job done.

Wet n Wild Photofocus Setting Spray

Yeah, yeah, this Wet n Wild Photofocus Setting Spray ($5) keeps makeup on, whatever. That's all secondary to the fact that it contains a bit of shimmer to keep you shining bright like the Valentine's Day princess you are.
