How to Rock a Fresh Festival Face This Summer
Let’s say you aren’t into face paint, gems, or glitter, but you’re totally into festival fashion and magical makeup. As you plan for your next outdoor music extravaganza, you’ll not only want to think about how your makeup is going to look in the first picture but also how well it’s going to hold up for the next several hours of dancing in the hot sun.
Here are a few tips for keeping your face fresh and fly at a festival this summer. And when it comes to looking great from start to finish, sometimes less is more. Let’s look at the basics.
Pucker Up with Lip Scrub
There’s nothing worse than chapped lips. Lips are often overlooked, and they are often the first thing to take a beating in the heat, which is why it’s important to prime them with a sweet, exfoliating lip scrub with nourishing ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E. Lip-softening brown sugar and refreshing peppermint oil are must-have ingredients as well. Your lips will feel smooth, pampered, and ready for light lip balm, shimmery lip gloss, or dark lipstick, depending on your level of boldness.
Prime Your Face for Makeup
After you wash your face and apply your favorite moisturizer with sunscreen, you’ll want to prep your face with an excellent silicone-free, antioxidant-infused primer that diffuses pores, blurs imperfections, and illuminates your skin. This will create a base for flawless, long-lasting makeup application. Look for a formula that has nourishing vitamin E, anti-aging resveratrol, and intensely hydrating aloe.
Choose a Natural Cream Foundation
After you’ve applied your primer, you’re ready to get the most out of your foundation. Look for a cream foundation that glides on effortlessly, blends well, and provides medium to full coverage. Opt for a quality formula that not only lasts all day but is also good for your skin. Seek out ingredients like avocado butter and antioxidant-rich fruits, plus botanicals of chamomile and calendula to soothe your skin while offering comfortable all-day wear.
Create Rainbow Eyes
Get ready to attract attention to one of your best assets: your eyes. With a dreamy eyeshadow palette inspired by mythical mermaids, pink-cloud sunsets, and emerald ocean waves, you can create some cool rainbow stripes on each eyelid. Choose a pigmented eyeshadow palette that contains several shades of stunning eyeshadows colored from the pigments of fruits and veggies. Have fun and practice drawing rainbow stripes with the colors in your palette. Start from the lash line and apply the eyeshadow in diagonal lines toward your temple. Don’t leave any gaps between your colors when creating this bold, colorful look.
More Eye Drama
Your festival look isn’t quite complete without lengthening and defining your lashes with an eye-defining, natural mascara that won’t smudge, clump, or flake. Look for a formula that’s meant to condition your lashes and that’s made with natural pigments from black tea, berries, and cocoa. After all, you don’t want to be wearing mascara all day and night unless you know it contains safe, quality ingredients.
