The Festival Edit

Writer and expert5 years ago

Its officially here – festival season! Whatever festival you are attending you want to feel your best if you’re look is totally extra or you’re keeping it minimal in your doc martins. We are here to help you complete the look with the perfect tan, make -up, hair and finishing accessories. Here is your very own check list!

The St Moriz Professional Tanning Mousse is brilliant at giving you enough colour without being orange. We recommend you use a mitt when applying, the Sosu Luxury Velvet Tanning Mitt is a great buy because it makes self-tanning easier getting the trickier areas. You will need to allow time for the tan to develop so we would recommend you apply evenly the evening before then rinse away any access that may be causing streaks. This will leave you with a natural, golden looking tan perfect for a festival!

Your hair can be the hard one because as you know in Britain there is no predicting the weather, so if you are attending a day festival a good hairspray is key for holding your style. The recommended Schwarzkopf Silhouette Super Hold Hairspray gives you a super hold without burdening the hair. If you are attending a camping festival, dry shampoo is a necessity so be sure to take a trusty Charles Worthington Style Setter Dry Shampoo that will prolong your hairs appearance with body and texture. Perfect for camping as no water is needed.

The C.A.K.E Cosmetics Sheer Glow Highlighter is an easy to apply highlight for your face or if you want to enhance your colour bones. This product is a strong highlighter with a high pigment perfect for a festival ready glow.

If you are wanting to add a little sparkle, we would recommend chunkier glitter instead of fine glitter because it gives you a better effect. The Prima Makeup Chameleon Collection Glitter Paste is singular pieces of glitter that you can apply around your eye or in the areas you want it. This product comes 8 colours to choose from, we love the prosecco princess.

Lastly if you want the full effect look check out our face jewels selection these stick on face gems are easy to apply stickers that are perfect for adding detail and giving you an exaggerated festival vibe! We particularly love the Prima Makeup Body Gem Crystal which has holographic coloured gems in a variety of shapes and the Makeup Ariel Face Gem which have an intricate design which sits across your forehead.
