The Great Setting Spray Heist of 2026

You know that feeling when you reach for your favorite product and find it completely empty? Now imagine that product cost $45 and your teenager used the ENTIRE bottle in one sitting.

The Great Setting Spray Heist of 2026

That’s exactly what happened this morning when I went to grab my Urban Decay setting spray and found Sophie standing there looking suspiciously guilty.

Apparently, she thought “a little extra hold” meant emptying half the bottle on her face for school pictures yesterday. When I asked why she didn’t stop when she realized how much was coming out, she said “I thought that’s how much you’re supposed to use.”

Evidence A: One completely drained $45 bottle

The audacity of this child. The sheer audacity.

But here’s the thing about having a teenager who’s basically a mini-me - I can’t even be that mad because I probably would have done the same thing at 15.

The classic mom stance has been deployed

We ended up laughing about it, and I’ve already ordered a replacement (and hidden it in my bathroom). Sophie owes me $45 in chores, and she’s getting a very detailed tutorial on proper setting spray application.

Marcus just stood there taking pictures of the whole thing like this was prime content. He wasn’t wrong, but still. The man has priorities.
