Last weekend’s festival revelers had everything to contend with: arriving to muddy mayhem and leaving in sun-scorched heat. But while the weather might have been temperamental, the style stakes remained high and although wellies were mandatory footwear, a spectrum of fashion looks were out in force.
From boho-chic tea dresses to uber-short shorts teamed with cropped tees and cut-off waistcoats, the vibe was diverse but effortlessly cool. Beauty-wise, colour was a major player– with flashes of neon adding a summery splash to many a fiesta face.
A savvy mix of style and comfort is the key to a successful shindig season. So if you’re campsite-bound this summer, follow these top tips, which will ensure that you look fabulous from dawn until dusk.
Beauty
1. Max Factor’s Lasting Performance Foundation is the ideal base to your festival face as it offers an excellent level of durability. Boasting an eight-hour touch-proof system, it will keep your complexion looking flawless throughout the day.
2. Festivals are serious sleep deprivers, but you can keep your look fresh by applying Max Factor’s Mastertouch Concealer beneath your eyes. The illuminating formula will conceal dark circles helping you to look rested and alert. A quick dusting of Natural Minerals Bronzer over the cheek bones is another must for giving sleep starved skin a healthy glow.
3. For on-the-go eyes that are a cinch to apply but still have that all-important wow factor, add a flash of Max Colour Effect Dip-In Eyeshadow in Party Lime or Ultra Violet beneath your lower lashes and line your eyes using Max Factor’s new Liquid Effect Pencil in Black Fire for instant rock-chick cool.
4. Ultra long, volumised lashes are de rigueur at any shindig, so apply two coats of False Lash Effect FUSION mascara in Black for our ultimate fluttersome fix!
5. Give your lips a treat, applying Max Factor's Sheer Gloss Balm for a soft flush of colour and a gorgeous balmy feel.
Fashion
1. As the weather at UK festivals is notoriously unpredictable, footwear requires some serious thought. Forget flip-flops and instead plump for a pair of cowboy boots or, if the rain stays away, some canvas high tops. Both will keep your tootsies comfy when you’re getting down to the sounds. Add a pair of over-the-knee socks for a cheeky take on school girl cool.
2. Mini tunic dresses are bang on trend this season and make for a stylish but low-maintenance look. Pair yours with a chunky knit cardigan after hours and keep waists cinched in with a wide leather belt.
3. Shorts are another go-to look this summer. Opt for an embellished pair to add a touch of glam to your ensemble.
3. A lightweight parka jacket might not make the ultimate style statement but it will keep you dry and can be easily stowed away when the sun comes out. A quintessentially English wax jacket is another firm favourite on the style scene
5. Hide less-than-fresh tresses with a head scarf or give your hair a good blitzing with some dry shampoo.
6. We never thought we’d say it, but bum-bags are back in fashion and make the perfect pouch for all your festival essentials. Pack yours with everything you need to keep your makeup topped up and don’t forget to pack lip balm and a travel mirror.
