Music festivals are the perfect time to think outside-the-box when it comes to hair and makeup looks.
Whether you’re going for a laid-back flower-infused breezy look or a neon-coated color infusion, there are beauty products that will make it easy to bring your idea to life. Remember that the best part about festival dressing is that it’s a time when you can truly exercise creativity without any judgment, so make sure you have fun with it!
We’ve broken down beauty products into face, body and hair categories. Think of festival dressing as a time to try out that thing you’ve always wanted to try. Dying your hair bright blue or pink? We found a day-only temporary hair dye that will help you create the look. Always wanted to wear face gems and temporary foil tattoos? We’ve found some great ones.
No matter what look you’re going for, remember that you’ll be in the hot sun all day so sunscreen is absolutely necessary. Luckily, brands like Kopari and Vacation have come through with non-greasy formulas that smell great and even feature glitter for an added dash of fun. Speaking of the hot sun, make sure you’re looking for products that are long-lasting. We’ve found eyeshadows, temporary tattoos and face and body glitter that will stay on until you want them off.
