19/04/2022 - 07:20 PM

Coachella 2022 has officially kicked off, with weekend one welcoming celebrities and music fans to the valley in droves. Beyond the performances from artists like Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, and Baby Keem [1], the festival also lived up to its reputation of providing enough hair, nail, and makeup looks [2] to carry you through the summer.

Year after year, there are a few beauty staples that anyone needs [3] when attending Coachella (think: sunscreen, a water bottle, and face mists). However, there's something about the sheer creativity that goes into creating the beauty looks that get better with every festival. From people bringing back retro hair and makeup trends — yep, Y2K beauty [4] dominated the scene this year — to celebrities like Doja Cat, Harry Styles, and Saweetie wearing sparkling, over-the-top outfits [5], Coachella remains the premiere source of inspiration for fashion and beauty.

Even better: some of the biggest trends are perfect for the warm weather months. To help you feel inspired for the summer season, we found the best beauty looks to come out of Coachella. From a maximalist take on crystal eye makeup to the trendy variations of the ever-versatile french manicure, read ahead for the best makeup, hair, and nail moments to try for yourself at home, ahead.

Coachella Makeup Trend: Reverse Eyeliner

Coachella is anything but traditional, which is why it makes sense that the festival saw many iterations of the "reverse" eyeliner trend [6] — when liner is applied to the bottom lash line instead of the traditional way, along the top — in a myriad of colours, from Hailey Bieber's baby blue to Camila Mendes's bright orange [7].

Coachella Hair Trend: Colourful Streaks

Coachella is the perfect time to have some non-committal fun with hair colours you normally wouldn't, like Alessandra Ambrosio's bright pink and orange streaks that complemented her outfit and nails.

Coachella Nail Trend: Lipstick Nail Shapes

Megan Thee Stallion is known for switching up her nails on a weekly basis, and her Coachella manicure was right on theme. The bright aquamarine set saw crystals and designs, but the star of the show was her trendy lipstick shape [8].

Coachella Hair Trend: Baby Braids

Baby braids are a staple Y2K hair look, so of course there were seen all over the valley. Previously seen on stars like Zoë Kravitz [9] and Hailey Bieber who wore the style again at this year's festival), the look is clearly here to stay.

Coachella Hair Trend: Butterfly Clips

Butterfly clips are an easy way to give a nostalgic nod to the '90s. Previously seen on celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo [10], who wore the style at the MTV Video Music Awards, festival goers used the clips to provide pops of colour to their outfits, while keeping flyways away.

Coachella Makeup Trend: Eye Gems

What do you get when you combine the monochromatic beauty trend with crystal eye makeup [11]? Next-level eye looks — which were aplenty all over Coachella this year.

Coachella Hair Trend: Copper Hair Colour

Copper hair [12] has been everywhere this year (just ask Kendall Jenner [13]), and the same can be said about Coachella. The colour was seen on performers and concert attendees alike.

Coachella Hair Trend: Chunky Headbands

Hair accessories dominated the SAG awards [14] earlier this year, and the trend made its way back for Coachella this past weekend. Headbands, like the chic pearl one seen here, were particularly popular with attendees.

Coachella Makeup Trend: Colorblocked Eyeshadow

Colour-blocked eyeshadow is a fun way to play with eyeshadow without it taking over your entire makeup look. Regardless of how you play with the eyeshadow shape, using contrasting colours like the green and orange seen here make for a head-turning look every time.

Coachella Hair Trend: Hair Gems

Want to put a maximalist spin on the crystal eye makeup trend? Take the gems beyond just the eyes and apply them in your hair as well for a look that will have you feeling like a walking disco ball (in the best way).

Coachella Nail Trend: Mismatched French Manicure

Coachella reminded us, once again, just how versatile french manicures can be — and no better example could be found than with Becky G's nail look. "For this manicure, each nail was different, which is actually a big trend for Coachella," her go-to manicurist, Johana Castillo [15], previously told POPSUGAR.

Coachella Hair Trend: Feather Accessories

Feather accessories are making a comeback, but instead of being worn as jewellery, Coachella saw numerous feathered hair accessories in different pops of colour, like the ones worn by model Chanel Iman.

Coachella Makeup Trend: Brown Lipstick

A nod to the 90s, brown lipstick looks good on pretty much everyone. Singer Sabrina Claudio channelled her love for pared back makeup by keeping her skin and brows minimal, letting this chic brown lipstick be the star of the show.

Coachella Hair Trend: Pixie Undercut

Undercuts are making their way back [16] in 2022 and with summer right around the corner, the timing couldn't be more perfect. The hairstyle typically see's the hair shaved shorter on the sides and longer on the top, perfect to keep you cool in the hotter months — or even in a valley surrounded by hundreds of people.
