Festival season is upon us, and with it comes the challenge of keeping our beauty game strong amidst the dancing, the elements, and the crowds. Whether a Coachella veteran or a first-timer, it's important to have some tricks up our sleeve to keep the long days and late nights all about laughter, movement and beauty, and less about hair, skincare, or makeup malfunctions.
Skincare hack: multitasking is key. Instead of packing a bunch of different products, opt for a few that can do (at least) double duty. That can come in the shape of a moisturizer with a high SPF; a lip soothing product with an SPF, or a body glow oil with an SPF — you get where this is going — SPF and moisturizing are a must if you're going to be exposed to the sun for hours on end.
As for makeup, go as crazy or as tame as you like with your creativity, but keep in mind that heavy foundation and cakey powders will probably melt off in the enduring heat, leaving you looking less than fresh way quicker than you'd hoped. Stick to a tinted moisturizer or a BB cream instead. Because touching-up is unavoidable, and because you may not always be in a position or place where you could comfortably blot, add or wipe something away (let alone take out and use your 6 favorite makeup brushes), try going for products that apply easily with fingers and are fuss-free; anything in solid vs liquid form will be a bit more practical.
When it comes to hair, embrace your natural texture. A texturizing spray or dry shampoo can help add volume and definition, while a cool hair accessory, like a headband or a scarf, can add some flair to the overall look — plus, it will fashionably hide not-so-fresh strands if you're going strong into day 2 of the festival. You're going to love each of our suggestions, and they will, in turn, do their part to keep you glam while you sing, dance, eat, and laugh for days. Enjoy the ride!
