What to pack in your festival beauty bag
Whether you’re attending a day rave or braving a full camping weekend, we’ve got makeup and accessories that are fit for the fields.
Festival season is officially in full swing — and let’s be honest, we’re not just excited for the music. It’s the perfect opportunity to go all in with your festival outfits, spot a cute hairstyle and recreate those bold makeup looks you’ve been saving since you secured tickets.
For the die-hard festival goers who brave the full weekend line-up, we know that by day three, things start to feel less glamorous. From sleeping in a tent to limited shower availability, a short-term beauty regime is needed to keep you looking and feeling fresh. Luckily, we’ve rounded up the must-have makeup and hair products that’ll fit perfectly into your backpack or day bag.
Festival makeup
With acts playing all day across multiple stages and tents, a lightweight base is the best bet for keeping your makeup fresh from AM to PM. Case in point: our new CC creams. Breathable and long-lasting they’re formulated with Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate the skin while creating a natural, radiant finish. If you want to make sure that your makeup truly doesn’t budge, our PS... Sun Mattifying Face Primer creates a grippy layer while keeping your skin protected with SPF 50 . A win- win!
For lips, we’re taking cues from the Studio 54 era with sparkly lip gloss. Disco lips are set to be a huge trend for festival season, with iridescent, metallic details that blend Y2K nostalgia with a futuristic twist. The key? Keeping the rest of your makeup minimal for maximum impact. Start by lining your lips with a neutral pink lip liner, before swiping one of our purse-friendly shimmer glosses on top to complete the glam.
Festival eye makeup
Yes, shimmer is trending for lips, but it makes for a bold eye look too! Chrome eyeshadow is essential for your festival makeup bag, delivering a luminous pop of colour in just one swipe. Blend across your lids and add colourful false eyelashes for a head-turning impact. Our new face stamps add a fun, final touch. Match with your friends by stamping hearts at the outer corners of your eyes. Super quick, efficient and made for tent-side glam sessions.
Festival makeup accessories
The right beauty tools make all the difference when it comes to festival glam. Beauty sponges and small hair brushes are a must-have for your travel travel makeup bag , to help touch up your glam on-the-go. Start by buffing a small amount of setting powder or eyeshadow pigment onto the tool, then pat onto your skin. Build up coverage as needed to achieve your desired look.
We’ve all been there... Nailing one eyeliner wing, only to struggle matching the other — it's the ultimate beauty challenge! Until you try our eyeliner tool. Your shortcut to a sharp eye look, simply hold it at the outer corner of your eye and trace along with your go-to pencil or pen for a clean, symmetrical flick. Trust us, you’ll get the perfect wing every time.
Festival hair accessories
Festival hairstyles are always a hot topic and this year we’re all about buns, braids and beachy waves. Effortless yet impactful, these styles are as practical as they are Insta-worthy. A slicked-back bun or braided ponytail, using our new boar bristle brushes is an easy way to keep hair looking neat and tidy from morning sets to headline acts.
For those who are camping, be sure to take some time to prep your hair before you go to bed to save time in the morning. Dry shampoo will be your saviour for easily reviving the volume in your hair. Spray a few pumps into your roots before wrapping your locks up in our new heatless hair curl buns to achieve effortless waves by sunrise. The best part? These sit higher on your head, making them less bulky and more comfortable to sleep in than classic curl rods or rollers. Complete the look with fun hair clips and voila! We’ll see you at the main stage...
