Spending hours in front of the mirror isn't an option at festivals, so you have to be clever about which beauty items you take with you.


Festival beauty is all about multi-purpose, travel sizes, 2-in-1s and non-breakable bottles, so a complete overhaul of your make-up bag is in order!

Before you head off to the fields, check out our guide to those camping beauty essentials...

The Caribbean it ain't, but you can still get sunburnt at a UK festival and believe us, it's no fun bumping into crowd surfers with raw, peeling shoulders!

Slather on this Malibu Babes SPF 20 sun lotion and cover your shoulders regularly throughout the day. You'll get a gorgeous, safe tan, while avoiding that angry, blotchy look that would be sure to put off your festival crush!

Washing your hair means braving the ice cold showers and to be honest, we can never be bothered, so make sure you pick up a new travel-size Batiste Dry Shampoo to keep away the grease and give some much-needed volume to your hair.

We love the tropical scent, but you can also try out blush or good old original, depending on your mood.

When you're getting all hot and sweaty in the crowd, watching your fave band, you're going to need more B.O protection than usual.

Sure Maximum Protection deodorant keeps your fresh and dry for 48 hours, so you can lose yourself in the festival spirit without worrying about your pits.
