9 Festival Makeup Ideas to Spice Up Your Music Festival Look

A simple, 90s-inspired blue eyeshadow is the easiest way to liven up your festival makeup look. Whether you opt for a soft baby blue or a sharp cobalt, it's the perfect pop of color and compliments all eyes. For her take, makeup artist Isabel Rose went for a light, shimmery blue evenly across her lid, which meshed perfectly with her glowy skin. But, a bright blue could also be incorporated into a cut-crease with a wing or a dark smudged eye look as well. 

Graphic liner is likely not a part of your everyday makeup routine, but festival season is the prime time to get creative and try your hand at it. This 60s inspired style leans on a mix of wavy and sharp lines for a geometric and sleek look. In Selena Gomez's take, a little extra liner turned a simple wing into an editorial eye look. If you are looking for something elegant or edgy, you can easily stick with your go-to black liquid liner to add some extra flourishes to your usual wing. Alternatively, you can go for a more playful look with colored liner and match your liner to your outfit.

Face gems are a festival classic for a reason. Three-dimensional and shimmery, these jewels can be the perfect accent to an already dynamic eye look or a simple way to elevate more natural makeup. Whether used as part of your eyeliner, above the brow bone or, like influencer Steph Hui, on the cheeks, they can help to frame parts of your face and call attention to the rest of your makeup. You can even opt for different gem shapes, like stars or petals, instead of the usual circle to create different designs. 

If you aren't going for the edgy smudged eyeliner look, perhaps consider brightening your makeup with white eyeshadow. Stark and simple, this monochromatic makeup look can be a welcomed alternative to dark smokey eyes or colorful gradients. On darker complexions, this eyeshadow in particular can really pop, accentuating the eyes without taking away from any outfit. In singer Saweetie's rendition, the fanned out white shadow balances her more simple base and makes her darker eyes and eyelashes stand out. For those planning on wearing a more complex or vibrant outfit, this could be a great way to keep your look bold without clashing.

Eyeshadow color is a given, but what about eyebrow color? Influencer and Wildflower Cases cofounder Sydney Carlson went for a purple brow which she paired with shimmery blue shadow and spiky lashes. Though a more experimental look, it requires makeup that you probably already have with you, like a liquid lipstick or very pigmented eyeshadow. Depending on how thick your eyebrows are, you will want to go in with the lipstick or eyeshadow as if it were a promade until your brows are as vibrant as you'd like them to be. Whether you match your brows to your outfit or color them a hue totally different, this look is sure to be a statement.

With Barbie and the "coquette" trend, the ultra-feminine, pink look has long been having its moment, and bright pink blush is the perfect way to bring that energy to your festival 'fit. Experimenting with overly pigmented blush or different blush applications can give your makeup look a girly, fun vibe while still being bold and even editorial. Like fashion icon Iris Law, you can concentrate your blush on your cheeks and nose for a doll-like look, or you can fan out your blush so your eyes and cheeks are dusted in a pink hue. Either way, it is an easy technique to help you achieve a more cutesy makeup look.

The wet look always makes a statement, but when focused on the eyelids, it can make for a glossy eyeshadow that is simple but still striking. Start with a shimmery shadow and then after applying your shadow, add lip gloss (that is safe for use around the eyes) onto your lid. Whether you opt for a silver shimmer, like Charlie Damelio, or a more colorful glitter, the gloss is a great way to make a bright eye look blend in with more natural, glazed skin.

Bleached brows are no new concept and are not to be reserved for the runway. If you've been putting off trying out this trendy look, now is the time to experiment with your look. Especially with the warmer weather, bleached brows compliment sun kissed skin and, though a bit more of a commitment than some eyeshadow, they can be an easy route to a bold beauty look. Like Bella Hadid, you may even want to go for more subdued makeup or perhaps no makeup at all to let your new brows be the star of the show.

Even though you will likely be bouncing between bar stands and food trucks, your lips can still be adorned for the occasion. Instead of a gloss, reach for a metallic lipstick and make your pout pop. For already simple looks, a metallic lipstick can add some highlight and interest in just a swipe. A brightly colored metallic, like model Gabbrietta's pink lipstick, can also add another hue to your look or match the rest of your outfit for more cohesion. Glowy and glittery makeup is ideal for the summer months, so there's no better time to experiment with shimmer and see what makes you shine best.
