Rare Beauty Prime & Set Mist 2.87 oz — 4-in-1 hydrating bi-phase spray for a dewy, smoothed finish

Rare Beauty Always An Optimist 4-in-1 Prime & Set Mist is an ultrafine bi-phase facial mist that hydrates, primes, sets, and refreshes skin for a dewy, smoothed finish.

This lightweight spray combines skincare-forward ingredients and a delicate botanical blend to deliver multilayered benefits in one bottle. Designed to work under makeup as a primer, over makeup to set, or anytime for a quick pick-me-up, the formula includes niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate alongside lotus, gardenia, and white waterlily extracts. The bi-phase texture mixes with a gentle shake, producing a fine, even veil that helps skin appear plumper and calm while maintaining makeup wearability.

How does this mist hydrate and help skin look smoother?

The mist contains sodium hyaluronate, a moisture-attracting ingredient that supports visible skin plumpness by helping skin retain hydration. Niacinamide works with the formula to improve the appearance of skin texture and softness, delivering a more even-looking surface when sprayed regularly.

• Contains sodium hyaluronate for immediate hydration and smoothing.
• Niacinamide supports the look of refined texture and radiance.
• Bi-phase formula creates a light, replenishing veil without heaviness.

Can I use this mist with makeup, and when is the best time to apply it?

This product is formulated to be versatile: use it before makeup as a hydrating primer, after makeup to set and subtly meld layers, or throughout the day to refresh skin and makeup. For best results, shake to combine the phases, hold the bottle about 8–12 inches from the face, and mist in a circular motion for even coverage.

• Under makeup: primes and preps for smoother application.
• Over makeup: sets and reduces powdery finish for a dewy look.
• Midday refresh: revitalizes skin and revives makeup without streaking.

What soothing botanicals are included and what do they do?

The blend includes lotus, gardenia, and white waterlily extracts chosen for their calming sensory profile and supportive effect on skin comfort. These botanicals contribute to a fresh, floral scent and help the mist feel soothing on contact, complementing the hydrating and texture-smoothing actives.

• Lotus extract: contributes to a calming, refreshing sensation.
• Gardenia: adds a soft, natural fragrance and soothing qualities.
• White waterlily: supports the mist’s gentle, skin-friendly finish.

Is the mist easy to use and suitable for everyday carry?

The 85 mL (2.87 oz) bottle is compact enough for bags and travel, with a nozzle that disperses an ultrafine spray for quick, even application. The bi-phase design requires a quick shake before use and the lightweight formula makes it suitable for repeated spritzes throughout the day without layering heaviness.

• 85 mL size fits most purses and travel kits.
• Fine mist spray ensures even, non-streaky coverage.
• Bi-phase formula activated with a shake for consistent results.
