Festival and concert season is here, meaning it’s time to dust off your clear bag that’s been stowed away since last year, break out the glitter eyeshadow, and write out your festival packing list. After such a long hiatus, you, like me, are likely feeling a little rusty about what you should be doing to prepare for the festivities. I had three full days of music ahead of me, but I felt unprepared when handling a weekend-packed outing like this. The best-laid plans can often go awry, but I was determined to equip myself with everything I needed to have a memorable and melt-proof weekend, like a comfortable outfit, a refillable water bottle, and a setting spray.
While SPF comes in at the top of the list of most important items, a good setting spray is also vital if you want your cute festival makeup to actually stay. Lucky for me, the setting-spray landscape is evolving rapidly. More and more, I hear from friends who never once thought a setting spray was necessary, asking to borrow a few spritzes before going to dinner. Bottom line, they’re effective and my music festival secret.
Here’s the thing: you have no idea if a setting spray is worth it until you use it, so I put three popular formulas to the test while galavanting through a crowd of fellow music-lovers. Ahead, see my results and the one spray that proved to be practically magic.
