Music Festival Beauty Packing List
Don't Leave For a Music Festival Before Packing These 17 Beauty Products
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Somewhere between camping and glamping are music festival beauty looks. You want to look good, but don't want the stress of a full-size vanity. Everything you need should fit into a smallish, unstructured bag or fanny pack (which Kendall Jenner is trying to make chic again).
But while festival beauty is supposed to seem easy, once you start shopping, things can get intimidating pretty fast. That's why we made up a handy list of the best possible items you can bring with you to Panorama, Lollapalooza, or wherever you're heading to jam out this Summer.
Of course, different festivals have different vibes, but these products work in all settings. Read on for our ultimate guide to 2017 festival beauty.
Bite Beauty Prismatic Pearl Creme Lip Gloss
From a campsite mud pit to an audience mosh pit, music festivals don't allow you personal space to stash your beauty loot. That's why we love makeup that pulls doubly duty. Not only does the Bite Beauty Prismatic Pearl Creme Lip Gloss ($22) slather your lips in a holographic, crystallized foil, but you can also use on your eyelids as a metallic shadow.
Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer
Festivals are a time to ditch your heavy foundation and opt for a BB like Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer ($34), which you can apply in literally two seconds for maximum natural coverage with minimal effort.
Tarte Clean Queen Vegan Deodorant
Of course, Tarte Clean Queen Vegan Deodorant ($14) is a natural must have for pits that works wonders on sensitive skin. But it can also be applied under boobs or in between thighs to reduce chafing as you dance the night away in your crop top and high-waisted jean shorts.
Bare Republic SPF 50 Mineral Sport Sunscreen
You probably know you'll need a good SPF for a festival weekend that's spent entirely outside. The best choice is a sport 'screen like Bare Republic SPF 50 Mineral Sport Sunscreen ($15). It's a nontoxic, eco-conscious, waterproof SPF that will keep the party going from set to set.
Mr. Kate BeautyMarks Freckles
The only way to make already-adorable freckles even cuter is to make them metallic! Mr. Kate BeautyMarks Freckles ($14) are temporary tattoos that last for two to four days (just long enough for your festival).
Milk Makeup Cooling Water
After one day of sun, partying, and not sleeping well, you'll need the Milk Makeup Cooling Water stick ($24) to get through the rest of the weekend. The soothing gel formula contains seawater and caffeine to depuff skin under your eyes and revive your whole face. Try it under or over makeup to feel and look better.
Sephora Cleansing & Exfoliating Wipes
Just because you're camping out doesn't mean you don't have to wash your face. Not only do Sephora Cleansing & Exfoliating Wipes ($8) remove makeup, but they also serve as a quick rinsing rub down when showers are scarce.
Benefit Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel
Not only will Benefit Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel ($24) instantly fluff up eyebrows in a way you never knew was possible, but its mascara-like applicator makes it perfect for lashes, too.
Pinrose Secret Genius
For those looking for a wild weekend, Pinrose Secret Genius ($65) is a warm, spicy scent that will make you the walking embodiment of rock and roll.
Silke London Hair Ties
Silke London Hair Ties ($27) are like silk pillowcases for your ponytails. The material reduces friction and frizz, so your updo holds up in the face of humidity. Plus, they look like colorful accessories, not boring hair ties, on your wrist.
Sephora Midnight Magic Face and Body Glitter
A catch-all glitter compact like Sephora Midnight Magic Face and Body Glitter Pots ($11, originally $20) makes you shine bright all night, and not just on your face. Use it to powder your décolletage or collarbone for an all-over glitter.
Purell Watermelon Splash Advanced Hand Sanitizer
Using porta-potties all weekend means using lots of hand sanitizer. Purell Watermelon Splash Advanced Hand Sanitizer ($2) has a fresh fruity scent and attaches to your belt or backpack for easy access.
R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo
Dry Shampoo is unwashed hair's best friend, especially this handy travel-size spray, R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo ($17). The label just screams "music festival," and so does the scent.
Supergoop! Shine On Lip Screen SPF 50
Have you ever gotten too much sun on your lips? It's not pleasant, and it also leads to signs of aging. This glossy Supergoop! Shine On Lip Screen SPF 50 ($22) can be applied over any lip color.
Tatcha Aburatorigami Blotting Sheets
When you (inevitably) start to sweat, a quick pat-down with Tatcha Aburatorigami Blotting Sheets ($12) makes your makeup look good as new without adding any powder that might look cakey.
H2O+ Elements On the Move Cleansing Stick
While face wipes can do a lot, after two or three days of camping, we want to wash our faces for real. This H2O+ Elements On the Move Cleansing Stick ($28) comes in solid form that foams up when you add water — perfect for the no-mess needs of camping.
Ouai Soft Mousse
Summer music festivals call for air-dried hair, and on-point air-dried hair calls for an excellent mousse. This Ouai Soft Mousse ($28) is easy to distribute through hair and dries smoothly and completely without crunch.
