Hooray for the Picnic. It's when 30 year old women get to casually pile glitter, stickers and sequins without fear of ridicule. And that's just on your face! It distracts from the inevitable eye bags and messy hair... Perfect! Who needs concealer when you're more bedazzled than the walking disco ball herself, Lady Gaga.

 

Fiona Bradley from OPSH says: Don't bother with any heavy duty business that will cake and crease. Instead let your natural beauty shine through. Failing that we have one word for you – sequins. All the sequins in the world. Applied liberally and haphazardly.

 

 

Choose a facial feature and make it a focal point. Baby blue eyes or Angelina Jolie lips? Pick your best asset and play it up to its full potential with mascara, colourful eyeliner, bright lipstick. Whatever it is, make sure it pops!

It's not often one gets to have fun and experiment so freely with makeup, so take full advantage of the fun festival atmosphere and the opportunity to let your inner disco ball shine. 

 

Realistically, you're only going to manage the sequins and glitter on Day One though. For day two and three (and four in some cases!) you'll need your trusty wee makeup bag with the bare essentials.

Keep your base light and easy to apply. A festival is not the time or the place to bringing around a bag of makeup brushes. Consider multitasking products like a powder compact with built in mirror and a lipstick which can double up as a cream blush. Any makeup in stick form is also great for hassle-free application and touching up throughout the day. Very handy indeed.
