14 Must-Have Beauty Products For Your Next Festival

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.

The start of festival season is here, and you've covered the basics: you've practiced putting up (and packing up) your tent, screenshot your tickets, packed your favourite festival outfit, and squeezed your trusty wellies into your backpack. Now, it's time to sort through your beauty collection and figure out what you absolutely need to look good in the field, come rain or shine.

Whether you're a seasoned festivalgoer, attending your seventh Glastonbury in a row, or it's your first time braving the brightly dressed, music-entranced crowds, it's easy to forget something. (One of our beauty editors once packed her Stila Glitter Eye Shadow but forgot a pack of hair ties, and that's someone who thinks about beauty 24/7.) We're here to help keep that from happening. We've curated the products that will help your hair, skin, and makeup last through the scorching heat or the pouring rain, and dancing during your next musical getaway. Your skin will be protected, your hair will be frizz-free, and your lip gloss will shine as bright as the artists you've come to see perform. See our essentials to surviving your next festival ahead.
