Festival
How to
Step 1
Conceal
Cover imperfections like dark circles and redness using a concealer. Liquid concealer is particularly easy to apply and can be blended in with a concealer brush.
Applying concealer to the bridge of your nose makes it look narrower. When applied underneath your eyes, concealer makes dark circles disappear. Concealer even touches up shadows along the sides of your nostrils and at the corners of your mouth.
Step 2
Apply bronzing powder
Bronzing products give your skin a healthy glow – exactly what you need for an outdoor look.
Apply a bronzing powder to the parts of your face that the sun would naturally hit, like your forehead and cheeks. To achieve this look, apply bronzing powder from the side of your face to the middle in a gentle circular motion.
Step 3
Create highlights
When it comes to festival makeup, there’s no such thing as too much glow. Transform your look into something special by creating additional visible highlights on your face.
Apply a highlighting powder to your cheekbones with a blush brush (starting at your temples) and under the highest part of your brows (to open your eyes).
Step 4
Apply eyeshadow
First, apply an eyeshadow base as a primer for eyeshadow. This give your makeup more staying power.
Select your desired eyeshadow color and accentuate your lower lash line. Then apply the eyeshadow to the crease of your eyelid and blend the color pigments over the curve of the eyelid toward the temples with an eyeshadow brush.
Step 6
Accentuate your features
Subtle eyeliner is out. When it comes to festival makeup, you can get away with a little more than usual.
Define your upper lash line with a liquid eyeliner and create length by accentuating the inner corner of your eye.
Create visual accents: Draw 2 parallel lines extending outwards from the outer corner of your eye.
Step 7
Apply mascara to lashes
Thickly applied mascara and defined lashes are currently in style and help you make the most of your striking look.
Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes.

Expert tip
Accents placed under the eyes are sure to turn heads. And the best part is that you don’t need any accessories like rhinestones or adhesive tattoos – here’s a different take on eyeliner!
Draw little stars on your lower lids with eyeliner and set with a setting powder to keep them from smudging or running. This will keep your makeup in place for those long festival days.

Beautify your nails
Put your hands ups! Festivals are the perfect time to make your nails an attractive accessory.
With a liquid eyeliner, draw patterns on your nail polish once it has dried.
Seal your nail polish with a top coat to keep your design in place for the duration of the festival.
