If you’re partial to a green field filled with illuminous lights, bright colours and the thought of living out your ultimate hippie dreams, we’ve got the beauty must haves to get you looking fabulously-festival approved...even if the thought of not having access to a shower, mirror and hair dryer sends shivers down your spine!
Wipe, Wipe, Wipe Away
We know what you’re thinking — Cult Beauty, the original beauty gurus, suggesting using wet wipes *gasp *. But did you know that not all wet wipes are created the same? Conserving Beauty, reimagines the lifecycle of beauty products, by creating the Instamelt Day Dissolver that...you guessed it... dissolves in water! Yes, you read that right. Nourishing and ultra-hydrating, this make up remover swipes away the remains of your hard day (or night), without stripping your skin. So, prep your skin for your next fun filled adventure...without any feelings of guilt.
Hydration Station
While dancing carefree to your favourite performer is the top priority, don’t neglect hydrating your complexion (like you may be neglecting your two litres...). With a multi-tasking hero like Embryolisse’s Lait-Crème Concentre Multi-Purpose Moisturiser on hand, you can cut some shapes while quenching your skin’s thirst. This face primer, moisturiser, mask and even make up remover is the do it all skin care product you won’t want to be in a field without.
Adding to your festival hydrating haul is the glow-giving but sun-protecting Glowscreen, curtesy of Supergoop! Delivering a natural lit-from-within glow, it acts like the perfect make up primer. Plus, with a skin-perfecting SPF formula (now available in a handy mini size!), this skin saviour will have you looking perfectly dewy all day long.
Hair Hacks
No access to the showers? Ouai’s Super Dry Shampoo will make light work of refreshing your tresses quickly and easily. Phenomenally oil-absorbent but non-powdery, this dry shampoo is so featherweight that it’s completely invisible! Making your strands look fresh and clean, it adds root ‘oomph’ to hair that’s falling flat when dancing in the fields.
Why not add a spritz of the aptly named Flower Moon Hair and Body Mist from Pacifica. Ideal for rejuvenating your strands and limbs, this sensual cocktail of jasmine, peach, vanilla and white florals teases your senses layer by layer. Plus, as it’s totally non-drying and powered by natural oils, its aroma lingers beautifully in the air (and your tent...)

Bold, Bright and Beautiful
Festival-approved make up is all about high-impact, low maintenance products — by that we mean must haves you can apply easily to your face. Cue: IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream. Not just a CC cream, the formula provides your complexion with coverage, has serious SPF 50 sun protection and applies like a dream....with your fingers. Win win!
Next up is eyeshadow. Festivals are the perfect excuse to whip out a palette and really go to town on your looks. We recommend Huda Beauty’s Colour Block Obsessions Palette. These bold nine-pan palettes are made up of creamy mattes, head-turning metallics, baked-flake shimmers and an innovative new water-activated cream liner shadow that delivers high impact with each swipe.
And finally, no festival approved look is complete without a seriously pigmented pout. NARS’s Powermatte Lip Pigments are silky, smooth and offer some serious hues. Powerfully matte, they are weightless, long lasting, and smudge-proof! Available in 11 colours, we’d recommend ‘Light My Fire’ to really get the party started.
Miscellaneous Must Have
And finally, because it is a festival after all, we wouldn’t and couldn’t be without Aesop’s Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash. Bringing a little boujeeness to festival fields, this reimagined hand sanitiser is gorgeously scented and cleanses your skin without the need of a sink!
