Team CB’s Go-To Festival Make Up Ideas

POWERFUL PIGMENT IS THE WAY TO GO 

A festival is pretty much the only time I step out of my comfort zone and go all out with colour. For me, it’s the perfect excuse to have fun with make up! Because I like to experiment – for Pride I tried out a rainbow eye, and for a day festival I’m off to this month I’m thinking a sparkling pink to lilac ombre to match the outfit I have planned! An eye palette with a spectrum of shades is a must-have and any of the Pat McGrath ones are ideal — the colours are so pigmented, there are a few neutrals in each I’ll use day-to-day, and then I can take advantage of the colours for occasions like this! I’ve also got my eye on the Urban Decay Robin Naked Eyeshadow Palette (those colours *swoon*) and the Too Faced Pinker Times Ahead Eyeshadow Palette (hello glitter). – Josie, Copy Manager

THE BIGGER THE BLUSHER, THE BETTER 

To me, nothing says summer festival better than blushed up cheeks. When I Saie blush, I think you know what I mean… I go to town with the colour and love to blend it out across my temples and lids for a blown out, avant-garde look which I find so flattering. – Precious, Midweight Copywriter

LOSE YOURSELF IN THE IRIDESCENT SHADOWS 

I always try to achieve the perfect festival glow. How? Simple: a stroke of iridescent highlighter — so I’m ready to rival the strobes and laser beams — layered over pink blush for a multi-dimensional look. Huda Beauty’s Glow Obsessions Highlighter Palette is a great option as it houses the blush and highlighter in one handy palette. Packing light is essential, right? – Alice, Senior Copywriter

PRETTY IN PINK  

I like to match my eye make up to my outfit, so if I’m wearing a pink festival get up (which is usually my go-to), I’ll curate an epic eye look to match. Pat Mcgrath Labs’ Mthrshp Mega Celestial Nirvana Palette is a time and time again favourite of mine, or a newer addition to my make up bag is Neen’s Pretty Shady Pressed Pigment shadows. I typically (read: always) finish my eye looks with a few sparkles, whether that’s diamante gems or layers of Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Flakes. – Jade, Senior Copywriter

LEVEL UP YOUR LIPS 

I love a multi-use product that I can pop back in my pocket when exploring the grounds. Being the blush obsessive that I am, for festivals I love to go all out on big, bright blushers and a bold lip. I have recently got my hands on Cle De Peau’s Radiant Liquid Rouge Shine in bright red and OMG… I may even apply it to my eyes as well. – Rina, Junior Copywriter

NAIL IT 

Often overlooked but never forgotten…my ultimate festival finishing touch is nail art. Weather I opt for a vibrant graphic print or glistening shades, the attention to detail ties in my entire look while adding a new signature sign off at each event. My top tip? Lock in your look with a base coat and  top coat, to ensure your design outlasts the weekend, no matter how many fist-bump and shuffles you’re involved in. – Trifonia, Senior SEO Copywriter
