Setting the Stage

Once you've applied your festival makeup, it's crucial to set it properly for maximum longevity:

Loose Setting Powder: Apply a light dusting of Morphe Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder to your entire face, focusing on areas prone to shine like the T-zone. This helps absorb excess oil and keeps your makeup in place.

Setting Spray: Finish your look with a generous mist of setting spray. As you know, Morphe is known for this – choose from our original Continuous Setting Mist, our Continuous Prep & Set Mist+, our Mattifying Setting Spray, Luminous Setting Spray, our SPF Sunsetter Spray to protect your skin from the harsh festival season sun.
