It’s festival season, with loads of daytime and overnight options available all across the country throughout the summer months. Here are the beauty products to take with you to keep you feeling fresh and looking good all event long.
The essentials
The item that should be your number one priority when you are spending so much time outdoors is your sunscreen. Look for a lightweight formula that is easy to reapply – something you should be doing every couple of hours. Don’t forget to apply it to any exposed skin.
Another thing you should pack for the sake of yourself and those around you is deodorant. An antiperspirant will keep both sweat and odour at bay so that you feel fresh all day.
Easy grooming
Going to an overnight festival but don’t want to look rough after a night in a tent or chalet? Skip the full face of make-up and opt for a few easy grooming products that don’t even require a decent mirror!
Add some definition to your eyelashes and tame and set your brows in place with a two-in-one lash and brow gel. Another must-have is a tinted lip balm. This will protect and soothe your lips while adding a sheer wash of fuss-free colour.
Shine on
There are other make-up products to take to festivals that are easy to apply and deliver serious pay-offs. Whether you are basking under the warm sun or jamming under the lights on the dancefloor, you can’t go wrong by adding some shine!
Bronzer is a summer must-have to add a warm glow to your skin. Look for a formula with shimmery particles to feel more festive. A highlighter should also be on your to-pack list so that you can create a fun, sparkly look.
Freshen up
Spending all day outdoors in the hot sun can make your skin feel equal parts parched and grubby. There are, however, a couple of beauty must-haves that can keep both of these problems at bay.
The first is a facial mist. Spritz your face when you need to cool down or your skin wants a moisture boost. Cleansing wipes will also come in handy. They can be used to remove make-up and to wipe down your body if the shower queue is too long!
