Aloe Vera Gel (any brand) The main adjective I think of when I think festival is sweaty. So whatever your gender, it’s a good idea to pack the strongest deodorant you can find for the sake of the crowd as well as yourself. Words by: Charlotte Harris
2. 3. Skin-care essentials When it comes to your actual beauty regimen, you want to remember to bring all of your skin-care essentials so as not to break out during your festival.
5.
Bio-degradable glitter When it comes to glitter itself, you want to make sure you invest in a bio-degradable brand. Not just because it’s better for the planet but also because it is better for your skin! If you prioritise spending a couple more pounds on eco-friendly glitter, then your skin will be all the better for it.
Portable Mirror When planning out your festival essentials, you must make sure you are prepared for anything. My first suggestion would be to buy yourself an excellent portable mirror. There are many different kinds that you can find online, but one with lights would help you to heighten your look and will significantly help when you’re stuck inside a dark tent.
4. Glue for glitter Of course, a festival essential is an abundance of glitter - but what are you using to apply it? Often times I see people at festivals using vaseline, which probably won’t affect your skin but is really poor at keeping glitter stuck to you. By the end of the night, you’ll have glitter smudged everywhere! I would recommend pink honey glue from beauty bay. This glue is meant for your brows but can undoubtedly be used to help you apply glitter during festival season. After all, if it can keep your brows in place, it can keep your glitter looking fresh all weekend!

Gems Another essential are gems! This is the new trend; whether it be tooth gems or gems for your acrylics, gems are the new thing. Once again, you want to prioritise eco-friendly or bio-degradable gems, especially if they’re going on your teeth! But these gems will add that little bit of extra bling during festival season!
