By Hannah Liddle - 1 year ago | Updated

So you’re going to a festival? Woopdeedoo! Whether you’re hitting up Isle of Wight, Leeds or the mother of all festivals, Glastonbury, you need to be prepared. And by that we mean, you need to plan your makeup looks. If you can’t be extra with your makeup at a festival then when can you, really?

Of course, we all love body jewels and excessive amounts of glitter – it’s basically the definition of festival makeup (and don’t worry we’ve still featured our fave looks) – but this year, we’re feeling bright eyeshadow, bold lips and pops of sparkle. To give you inspiration for your 2019 shenanigans, we’ve rounded up our favourite festival beauty looks. If only there were 15 days to a festival so we could work each and every one of these.

A Touch of Playfulness:
