Music festival season is upon us. The cruel irony of getting ready for a festival is that, while the party-like environment calls for a playful approach to makeup, the hot, hot weather means you are better off with a pared-down look. Otherwise, you may risk finding that your glitter eyeliner has migrated down to your chin. Here are three suggestions on how to make the best of both worlds.

Know your environment 

A day in the unforgiving Tennessee sun at Bonnaroo is different than the city environment of Osheaga. (The latter allows you to go home and wash your face with soap and water at the end of the day.) Brightly-hued eyeliners, like NYX Professional Makeup Vivid Brights ^(TM/MC) Liners , are a multi-purpose, must-have for either situation. Keep it simple and swap out your usual black eyeliner and mascara routine for a bolder colour (we’re partial to the shade Vivid Sapphire), or use the liners to draw designs on your face or body—the precision tip makes it easy.
