Festival Season Glamour - Top Tips!


With the festival season in full swing after Glastonbury last weekend & the eagerly awaited T In The Park coming up in less than a fortnight here's a few tips for keeping it chic in your muddy wellies!!! Kelly Osbourne definitely did it in style at Glastonbury this year & looks fantastic with her slick hair, rosy cheeks & cute glasses!
Always keep your make-up low maintenance & natural, opt for a tinted moisturiser to give you a light coverage with a healthy glow (go for No7's Soft & Sheer Tinted Moisturiser - £9.50). Keep the eyes bare apart from lashings of waterproof mascara to make them stand out (definitely try Clinique's Lash Power mascara, it's last up to 24hrs without running or smudging in rain or humidity - £12.50), for cheeks keep it subtle with a cream blusher it's easy to apply & gives a glowing finish (get Mac's cream blush, it lasts really well - £14) & try moisturising lip gloss to keep your lips luscious & kissable (Maybelline's 'Shiny-Liscious' goes on like lip balm & tastes amazing - £3.99)!! Also don't forget the sunscreen, even if the weather isn't holding out as well as it should, being in such an exposed area all weekend can leave you a bit weather beaten & only the slightest sun with all the breezy gusts can have you looking more lobster-like than festival gorgeous!!! Another few must haves are travel sized packs of wet wipes to have in your pocket, body spray & for the hygiene conscious a small travel size hand cleanser (those portaloos are not to be trusted!!!!). Finally make sure you have a great pair of sunglasses to finish the look & get your hair back with a hair band & tie it up, plus don't forget the wellies (they go with everything!!!)
