3. Glitter Festival Makeup

It wouldn’t be a festival without glitter!

Whether you use a sprinkling as a shadow topper or to replace your highlighter – now is the time to glisten!

How to do Festival Glitter Makeup:

Tip 1:

For a subtle shimmer, pop some glitter on the inner corners of your eyes and on the center of your lid to add brightness.

Tip 2:

If you’re going big and bold, why not cover your lid with your glitter shadow? Blend outwards to create a glitzy smokey eye.

Tip 3:

For the ultimate glitter festival makeup, apply a little shine to the tops of your cheeks, bringing it up and around to frame your eye. It’s a bold look, no question about it – but for a festival, we think anything goes!

Festival Makeup Tips: How to Make Your Festival Makeup Last all Day

We love glitters and shimmers for a festival makeup look, but we’ve got our top four essential products that are must-haves in your festival makeup kit to keep you looking flawless all day.

1. Long-Lasting Makeup Primer

First thing is first – primer! This product is an essential in any festival makeup kit, as the last thing you want is to spend ages on your killer festival makeup, only for it to melt away before the headline act.

For the best long-lasting festival makeup, we recommend using a face primer alongside a dedicated eye primer.

For the perfect base, choose the Superdewy Makeup Serum. Whether you’re going for a full-coverage base or baring all, this versatile primer helps you rock your look with confidence.

How to Use: Use as the first step in your makeup routine, applying after you moisturiser. Place under makeup for a bright, dewy finish, or simply wear it on its own!

Oh, and don’t forget to add an eye primer to your makeup bag – we recommend our XX Fixx Eye Primer in shade Translucent. As well as holding your festival eye makeup in place, it helps the pigment pop, providing that all-important WOW-factor!

2. Waterproof Mascara

One thing we can’t always rely on is the weather.

Should showers be heading your way this festival season, we recommend getting equipped with a trusty waterproof mascara.

We love the Big Lash Waterproof Volume Mascara. Offering fantastic staying power and mega volume, this mascara ensures maximum impact from your lashes – perfect for festival makeup!

3. Hydrated Lips

Festivals consist of long days and often continue far into the night, so it’s essential to keep those lips moisturized!

For the ultimate hydration with a pop of color, we recommend having a I Heart Revolution Tasty Peach Lip Oil with you at all times!

Not only does a lip oil leave your pout feeling plump and nourished, but italso add a subtle tint, allowing the rest of your festival makeup to do the talking!

4. Setting Spray

Reaching for products that will keep your makeup looking flawless all day is a must, and you can’t go wrong with a hard-working setting spray.

The IRL All Day Filter Fixing Spray provides an ultra-matte, shine-free finish for long-lasting festival makeup. Enriched with aloe and vitamin E, this setting spray helps to soothe the skin and provide a weightless hold.

And that’s all for our festival makeup ideas! Ultimately, festivals are all about self-expression, so make your stamp on your makeup look and go wild with the glitter, because why not? Festivals are the perfect setting to have fun with your makeup look!
