FAQs

What other festival essentials do I need?

Keeping some glitter glue in your bag will be your festival saviour. You will be able to top up your dose of sparkle or stick back on your jewels throughout the weekend without any fuss.

We also recommend taking a disposable camera with you to capture all the best bits.

Don't forget sun cream, lots of water and, of course, your fave pair of sunnies.

How can I ensure my make-up lasts all day and night?

It's all in the prep. Use a primer before applying any make-up and once you've finished creating your festival look, spritz some setting spray all over and get dancing.

I forgot to fake tan, what can I use instead?

Looking for an instant tan? These are a must-have. We recommend products like Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs or Vita Liberata Body Blur. Not only do they provide a natural, sun-kissed glow, but they also act like foundation for the body by blurring any imperfections and giving an overall flawless look.
