Glastonbury – the ultimate festival 🌈✨ If you're lucky enough to be heading there, your makeup game needs to be as legendary as the lineup. Whether you’re a Glasto newbie or a seasoned veteran, here’s your guide to keep you looking fabulous from sunrise to sunset.
The headliners
With all the dancing, singing and, let's be real, sweating, you’ll need your makeup to stay put. That’s why our Grip Hold Face Primer is the first thing going in our rucksack. Reach for this before anything else! It’s super strong and super grippy and holds your makeup in place for up to 4 times longer, giving you that ‘freshly applied’ face for up to 24 hours. Don’t forget to finish with the Collection Filter Finish Flawless Skin Setting Spray - this quick drying, lightweight mist ensures a soft, skin-blurring finish and locks in your look 🔒 Infused with the skin-loving Soymilk Probiotic, our oil-free formula protects skin and is suitable for all skin types.
Go bold
Forget subtle. Glastonbury is all about making a statement, starting with your makeup.
Nothing screams "festival" like a face full of glitter. Start with Collection’s bold glitter eyeliners, Power Stare Liquid Eyeliner The precision brush helps to create a statement graphic eyeliner look. Try it on its own, over your eyeshadow for extra impact or to draw a heart on your cheek 💖
Speaking of eyeshadow, a festival is a fab time to experiment with our Fiji Tropics Eye Palette - 8 intensely pigmented matte & metallic shades, neatly packed in a rucksack friendly sized palette. Easy to blend and vegan too! Start all your eye looks with the Power Hold Gripping Eye Primer to make sure your crease free and vibrant eye stays like that all day.
Festival eye makeup is where you can have some real fun. Go wild, it would be rude not to.
Be ready, whatever the weather
Heatwave or thunderstorm, the great British weather will ultimately do what it wants. But we got you.
Smudge-proof products are a staple. Whether it be down to getting caught up in a downpour, sweating to get on the barrier, or getting emosh watching your favourite band, our Eyes On Me Volume Mascara will keep your lashes fresh. Not only does it elongate lashes with a highly pigmented formulation, the applicator wand picks up the perfect amount of mascara formulation that prevents flakes, clumps and smudges.
We can’t have a festival make up guide without Collection’s iconic Lasting Perfection Foundation. This full coverage foundation blends for a flawless finish, is vegan, sweatproof, lasts up to 16 hours and has SPF 30, just incase the sun decides to make an appearance. Name a more festival friendly foundation? We’ll wait 💅
Shine bright like a diamond
We’re all about the glow for going to a show. Our ultra-reflective Diamond Shine Highlighter will not let you down. She’s a multi-use girlie, so dust on your cheekbones, nose, and even use as eyeshadow for an out-of-this-world glow. Prefer cream to powder? For a buildable dewy finish, try our Gorgeous Glow Sticks – fuss-free and portable for any touch ups during the day.
2 minute make up
If you need to rush out of the tent to the Pyramid Stage, grab your sunglasses and our Matte Liquid Lip Paint. Vivid colour in one stroke, this quick drying liquid lipstick easily glides on for up to 12-hour wear. Try shade Overachiever for a statement red and if you’re feeling fancy, top with the Gloss Me Up Juicy Infusion Lip Gloss for a high shine finish, that isn’t sticky.
Glastonbury is all about expressing yourself and having the time of your life. Your makeup should be as fun and free-spirited as the festival. Here’s some of our fave festival looks to help get you started.
See you in the fields! ✌️
