With summer approaching i thought it would be perfect to do a festival guide as some of us might be heading of to festivals and want some ideas for make-up.
Hair:
When travelling i like to have my hair out of my face so i usually do two french braids and then sleep in it so that the next morning my hair will be crimped and curly.
Unless i'm at a weekend festival i usually don't wash my hair because the ques tend to be quite long in the morning, so i would recommend taking dry shampoo or a towel off shampoo.
Make - Up:
For make-up, i wanted to keep it simple and quick as when your at a festival you probably don't want to be spending a lot of time doing your make and would rather listen to the music and explore.
1 - Collection The Smokey Eye Palette
2- Avon Solutions Truly Radiant Tint Release Moisturiser
3- Rimmel London Clear Complexion Powder
4- Revlon Lip Butter - 005 Sugar Frosting
5- ColourWorks Blusher
6- Revolution Ultra Bronze - Bronzer
7- Avon Mega Effects Mascara
If you wanted to add a bit of colour you could use coloured eyeliners and coloured mascaras with bright cream eye shadows. If you wanted to wear a red lip, in my opinion, the best option is the Carmex Moisture Plus lip balm in red because its moisturising and pigmented.
Tips:
- Remember wellies or boots as the ground will probably be quite muddy as a lot of people will be walking on it.
- If your camping, remember to peg your tent down first so that it doesn't fly away or get to dark when you try to do it later on.
- Make note of what campsite your in when you arrive so you don't have to try and find your campsite and tent in the dark.
- Always carry tissues with you! For the toilets or just in case you spill something, they can always come in handy.
- Take a tripod seat or a rubbish bag (clean) so that you have something to sit on when the ground is muddy.
- If its raining at night, keep your stuff away from the edge of the tent as the water will soak through and make your stuff wet.
- If your at a dodgy camp site, sleep with your valuables (e.g. keys, wallet, phone). Put them at the bottom of your sleeping bag so that there safe.
- If your worried you tent might get broken into at night, attach a bell to the zip so it makes a noise when being opened.
- To keep warm at night, make sure you've eaten a hot meal, been to the toilet and have dry clothes on. If your still cold then put a hat on as most of your body heat escapes from your head and feet.
- Drink plenty of water because if its sunny you could get a headache. You'll especially want to have some water if your drinking at the festival as alcohol dehydrates you.
- To ensure you're drinking a lot of water, pack a water bottle to carry round with you and fill up when your near a tap.
- Wear sunscreen even if you can't see the sun as it can still damage your skin.
My Essentials!:
1- Sunglasses (mine are from Camden market)
2- Hayfever tablets (only if you suffer, of course!) because you don't to have to be worrying about sneezing the whole festival
3- A hairbrush, especially a fold away one because they are smaller and you can fit more in your bag
4- A cheap camera to take photos with, so that it doesn't matter if it get damaged
5- Lip balm (Carmex of course!)
6- Sunscreen
7- Deodorant or a body spray to keep you smelling fresh
8- A compact mirror
Another really fun thing to do with your friends is flash tattoos! They look really cool and add some more accessorizes to your outfits! These ones are from Topshop from £5.
I hope that wherever you go this summer you have a fun time and stay safe!
I hope this blog post helped.
