When it comes to festivals, festival fashion isn't the only thing I'm
interested in... I really love
festival makeup
and how adventurous you can be! To achieve the ultimate festival makeup look,
you need to have a flawless skincare routine down. Why? Because makeup
sits so much better on well-prepped skin and if you want your makeup to last,
having the ultimate skincare routine will make a huge difference. I've
outlined my top 3 simple steps within a skincare routine to achieve this.
Step 1. Cleanse:
Nip + Fab Daily Glycolic Cleansing Pads
Start your day with a cleanser to remove any excess oils and product that may
have built up on your skin overnight. These Nip + Fab pads are a great option
as they can be used daily and also contain glycolic acid, an acid exfoliant,
which will gently exfoliate your skin to maximise your glow. Not to mention
the fact that these are pre-soaked pads which are ideal for travel, short
stays and a festival of course!
Step 2. Moisturise:
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
You can definitely add more products between step 1 and step 2, I'm going for
the basics here but you can add in a toner, serums and/or oils between these
steps if you feel like your skin needs more.
Keeping your skin hydrated and moisturised is the ultimate hack to ensure
you're left with a flawless base. I picked out this Kiehl's moisturiser
because it's lightweight and sinks into the skin really easily without feeling
too heavy. It packs in moisture without drowning your skin.
Step 3. SPF: Bondi Sands Face SPF 50+
Do not leave the house without your factor 50 suncream! If you skip this step then you may as well skip the rest of your skincare
routine. Wearing SPF daily protects your skin from harmful UV rays and is
the best way to prevent signs of ageing skin. This Bondi Sands SPF offers
great protection against UVA and UVB with SPF 50+, it leaves no white cast
and wears well under makeup.
Onto the festival makeup look...
I decided to focus on gems and jewels for my look as it's not every day you
get to wear gems and jewels on your face (at least not for me anyway). I think
this is such an eye-catching look and it's honestly so easy to achieve! I
stuck to my usual makeup routine, focusing on the base as I need my gems to
stick on seamlessly. I primed my skin using
Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Primer
which gives a beautiful healthy glow, followed by
NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser
(shade: Alaska). Neither of these products sit heavily on the skin which I
love as this means my base remains light and glowy throughout the day.
For the finishing touch, I added
Barry M Diamond Frost Face Jewels. There are a variety of gems and jewels available at Boots but I opted for
these silver jewels as I knew they would catch the light so beautifully.
When these jewels catch the sun, they give off the most incredible shine!
These are pre-glued which I found stuck quite well however, if you're
worried about these coming off from too much singing and dancing, you can
use a skin-friendly adhesive such as glitter primer to make sure they stay
on all night! Oh and I know I already mentioned the importance of SPF but
you really don't want to skip this step with a look like this as can you
imagine ending the day with jewel shaped tan lines on your
face?!
A touch of
Fenty Beauty Cherry Glaze
on the lips to give a gorgeous glossy lip (the scent of this is unreal by the
way!)
As well as makeup and skincare, you can find all of your festival makeup essentials such as dry shampoo, deodorant and more at Boots!
Are you going to any festivals this summer?
