5 Must Sees For Beauty Lovers At Electric Picnic

If you’ve clicked this link, it means you might be?high maintenance but fabulous and perhaps find festivals a little difficult. I’m right here with you, email me, let’s start a cult.

You screenshot the beauty looks you’ll be imitating over the weekend, you’ve watched and practiced the YouTube tutorial for glitter buns or warrior braids you’ll be wearing and your flash tattoos are on right now. You’re the girl your friends will come to when they go to the Portaloo because they know that in your bum bag you’ve packed hand sanitizer and packets of tissues. You’re the one who sacrifices packing extra gin?for a little more room for your serum. You’re the one who’ll be telling security at the gate that you oh my god genuinely swear, the 500ml bottle of Bioderma with the new pump down head in your bag really is micellar water. As if you’d pour out 500ml of that magical elixir for an extra bit of vodka over the weekend.

You’re probably planning on going home every day for a shower. I’m right there with you. Festivals aren’t about just dressing as closely bohemian as Florence Welch and giving out about the lineup and bringing a banjo down for the weekend. Some of us are here for festival wardrobes and to finally try out the M.A.C Colour Rocker green lipstick in a safe and socially acceptable environment.

Some of us are here to try out just how semi-permanent semi-permanent hair dye is. I don’t care for your eye rolling. Don’t come crying to me when you need dry shampoo tomorrow?because the mud has turned your hair to dreadlocks.

If you have difficulty minimising your toiletries for what is essentially a weekend in a field, I understand too and I have a hack. If you’re considering packing your more expensive all-time favourites, let’s try something.Mentally rehearse your reaction to losing your full make-up and beauty bag. Can you afford to replace your good Nars Sheer Glow foundation and YSL Shock Waterproof Mascara for False Lash Effect??and new Clarins Double Serum after a weekend of Electric Picnic? Leaving the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream at home for the weekend doesn’t mean you’ve to scrounge on your beauty routine. Not all heroes wear capes, and some of them have travelled to Electric Picnic to help keep you fabulous all weekend long.
