5 Makeup Looks to Wear to Summer Festival

If there’s one thing we love most about the music festival beauty scene, it’s that anything goes. Truly — you can throw on lime green eye shadow and bubblegum pink lips and it looks fresh, inspired, and free. Or you can go mascara-free, draw on a smattering or sweet freckles, smear glitter across your forehead, or create the sickest smoky eye of your life. We challenge you to let creativity win when prepping for your upcoming music festivals! For some inspiration, check out these 16 fresh makeup looks.

Sunset Lids

This festival-goer’s peach and pink eyelids legit look like a sunset. Perfectly placed highlighter and an MLBB lip make this look *muah* perfection!

Emerald Lined

Try an ultrarich emerald smoky eye a la social media influencer Yasmin Maya. We love that she paired it with a glittery part and neutral lip.

Blushing Eyes

Here’s a striking makeup look that takes less than two minutes to complete. Simply apply a luminous sunscreen — such as Volition’s Prismatic Luminzing Shield SPF 50 — and then add a bit of pink shadow or blush to your lids.

’80s Alien

This alien-esque/sci-fi/’80s look that hit the Jeremy Scott NYFW runway is for the truly bold among us. Makeup artists created the look by painting plastic triangles and securing with eyelash glue.

Bedazzled Pastel Princess

When you think of music festivals, this ’70s-inspired bedazzled princess look is exactly what comes to mind. We love the commitment to that freestyle glamour.
