If you’re planning to spend your summer at outdoor music festivals, you’re going to need makeup looks that not only look the part, but can last in heat, sun, and sweat. Festivals are a great place to get creative with your makeup and try looks you may not otherwise try. From a sunset inspired eye look, to rhinestones and glitter, graphic eyeliner, and more, here are 8 festival-ready makeup looks you’re sure to love!
8 Festival-Ready Makeup Looks to Inspire You
1. Festival Makeup Tutorial | Sandy Lin
This festival makeup look is so pretty. It’s super subtle but we love the use of small gems around the eyes to make the face sparkle. She starts with a dewy, neutral base and adds in a bit of colour on her cheeks, which you can always enhance if you want to add more of a flush. She uses products like the Revlon Skin Lights Bronzer in Sunlight Glow, the Urban Decay Moondust Glitter Eyeshadow in Space Cowboy, and rhinestone face gems. Keep in mind that you can get creative with the rhinestones and use bigger ones if you want a more dramatic look.
2. The Ultimate Long Lasting Concert/Festival Makeup | sophdoeslife
One of the most important aspects of festival makeup is that it’s long lasting. You’ll be in the heat and sun all day, dancing and sweating, and possibly in the rain, so it’s essential your makeup is not only cute but also resistant. Along with sharing her best long-lasting makeup hacks in this tutorial, she also lets you in on her favourite products for a festival-ready look, including the e.l.f. Camo Blush in Pinky Promise, the NYX Glitter, and of course a powerful setting spray like the Urban Decay All Nighter Spray.
3. Sunset Glam Festival Makeup
This sunset inspired eye makeup is so beyond stunning and perfect paired with bronzed, dewy skin and a glossy lip. Use an eyeshadow palette with yellows and oranges like this one as well as the e.l.f. Bronzing Drops and the wet n wild MegaGlo Hello Halo Highlighter for your cheeks. Pair it with effortless waves or even a high ponytail for a festival look that will last all day.
4. Glitter Girl Festival Makeup
We love how glittery the eyes are for this makeup look and think it would be perfect for a festival. Choose a pink shade from the ColourPop OOH LA LA Eyeshadow Palette to create the pink liner, and use a glitter eye shadow all over the lids for a gorgeous finish. Pair it with illuminated skin and a nude lip to replicate this look, or do a bolder pink lip to make your pout pop.
5. GRWM for the Lollapalooza Music Festival | Evelina Forsell
This colourful, sparkly makeup look is perfect for a music festival, whether it’s Lollapalooza, Coachella or Osheaga. She shares her hair and outfit as well, but we’ll focus on the makeup here. Her eye look is so fun with a pinky/purple eyeshadow and rhinestones to make it pop, and we love the two-tone lip she does as well! She uses products like the Milk Makeup Matte Primer, the Tarte Clay Blush in Captivating and Juvia’s Place The Candy Shop Eyeshadow Palette.
6. Graphic Liner Festival Look
If you’re craving more of a bold and edgy look for your festival vibe, graphic eyeliner is the way to go. Let your eyes shine by doing your regular makeup routine and use a black liquid liner to create a graphic eye look. We think this squiggle look is perfect for a musical festival!
7. Spring + Festival Makeup Looks | Claudia Sulewski
This tutorial features 4 different festival-ready makeup looks, including a purple liner look, a rainbow eye, pink/purple sparkles, and white wings. They’re all super cute and fun, and perfect for dancing the day away! If you’re going to a multi-day music festival, you could use a different look for each day. For the purple liner look, she uses ColourPop shadow (we love the ColourPop Lilac You a Lot Palette for this!). She also uses products including the M.A.C. Dazzleshadow and the Benefit Roller Lash Mascara.
8. Pink Glitter Festival Makeup Tutorial | Katerina Williams
This pink festival makeup look features a glittery pink smokey eye, glowing skin, and a glossy lip- it’s seriously stunning. It’s quick and easy to recreate, just follow her step-by-step tips. If sparkly eyes are the look you’re going for for your festival look, this is definitely the one for you! You’ll need products including a good eyeshadow primer, M.A.C. Mineralize Skin Finish, and the NARS Soft Matter Complete Concealer.
