If there’s one thing we love most about the music festival beauty scene, it’s that anything goes. Truly — you can throw on lime green eye shadow and bubblegum pink lips and it looks fresh, inspired, and free. Or you can go mascara-free, draw on a smattering or sweet freckles, smear glitter across your forehead, or create the sickest smoky eye of your life. We challenge you to let creativity win when prepping for your upcoming music festivals! For some inspiration, check out these 16 fresh makeup looks.

Wherever she goes, Janelle Monáe dials
the beauty factor to 11. This midnight blue
shimmery lid and classic red lip is equal parts
modern and retro fab. -

This festival-goer's peach and pink
eyelids legit look like a sunset.
Perfectly placed highlighter and an
MLBB lip make this look *muah*
perfection! -

Glittery hair and eyes are to be
expected at a Summer music
festival, but glittery brows are a
whole other story. Use a clear brow
gel and disposable spoolie dipped
in glitter to apply. -

Try an ultra-rich emerald smoky eye a la social media
influencer Yasmin Maya. We love that she paired it with
a glittery part and neutral lip. -

Your selfies will look so festival-chic wearing this white
under-eye liner, a la the Ulla Johnson NYFW FW18
runway. Pair it with bold brows and your favourite
lip colour. -

Here's a striking makeup look that takes less than
two minutes to complete. Simply apply a luminous
sunscreen — and then add a bit of pink shadow
or blush to your lids. -

We're obsessed with this soft lavender
lid and soft brick red lip worn by Bella
Thorne. When re-creating, spread
the colour out a good half-inch
beyond your eyes to create a
similar effect. -

This alien-esque/sci-fi/'80s look that hit the Jeremy
Scott NYFW runway is for the truly bold among us.
Makeup artists created the look by painting plastic
triangles and securing with eyelash glue. -

We're getting major Barbie vibes from
Priyanka Chopra's blue and purple
lids paired with pink lips. Opt for an
identical colour scheme for a moody
look or lighten the hues ever so
slightly for a less intense, more
"punk-pop" look. -
Gilded Lids
For another easy festival makeup
look, spread gold eye shadow
across your lids, add a bit of mascara,
and finish with a glossy lip.Image Source: Getty / Gabriel Olsen -

We've got actual goosebumps from the level of
chicness model Ava Capra is throwing our way with this
soft smoky eye and glossy pale lip. -

Music festival season is loaded with pastel hues
(which we adore). However, if you really want
to stand out in a crowd of attendees, opt for the
opposite. This unapologetically witchy, vampy
look served by Shay Mitchell is everything. -
Image Source: Getty / Jeremy MoellerReverse Cat Eye
Turn the standard cat eye on its head
by inverting it and smudging black liner in an upward
angle starting at mideye to your outer corners. What makes
this look even more striking is that model Leah Rodl kept
her blond brows bare. -
Image Source: Getty / GothamGlossy Gal
Olivia Culpo is serving it with
this glossy gal look. Think chiselled
cheekbones, strong brows, glowing
skin, and perfectly pink lips. -
Image Source: Getty / Emma McIntyreBedazzled Pastel Princess
When you think of music festivals, this
'70s-inspired bedazzled princess look
is exactly what comes to mind. We love
the commitment to that freestyle glamour. -

Take your festival makeup cue
from Tibi's FW18 runway, which
featured mixed-and-matched colour
on the top and bottom of each eye.
We're partial to the purple and blue,
but also try red and orange, yellow
and blue, or pink and purple.
