Makeup That Rocks, No Matter the Weather

Whether you’re gearing up for a day of dancing at Coachella or preparing for a weekend at Burning Man, keeping your makeup intact amidst the sweat, heat, and elements can be a challenge. But fear not! With the right products and techniques, your makeup can look as vibrant and lively as the music pulsing through the festival speakers. Plus, with options like group buy from Scandinavian startup, Puzzle, you can snag these festival essentials at unbeatable prices. Let’s dive into how you can achieve that flawless, lasting look for any outdoor event.

Base Basics – Foundation that Stays

Choose the Right Formula

To keep your foundation in place from the first set to the last encore, start with a sweat-proof and long-wearing formula. Look for products labeled "24-hour wear" or "waterproof" to ensure they have the stamina to last through the heat and activity. Products like NYX's Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Full Coverage Foundation are a cult favorite for their resilience against the elements. This comfy, long-wearing waterproof liquid comes in a wide range of flattering tones that don’t transfer. Shockingly lightweight, waterproof and pigmented AF, a full coverage classic foundation that hustles as hard as you do.

Apply with Perfection

Using a primer before your foundation can significantly enhance its longevity. Opt for a mattifying primer that reduces oiliness. After applying primer, use a beauty sponge or brush to apply your foundation, setting it with a light dusting of translucent powder to lock everything in place.

Long-Lasting Eyeshadow

For eye makeup that won’t crease or smudge, start with an eyeshadow primer. Then, choose cream eyeshadows or waterproof eyeshadow sticks which tend to stay put longer than powders. Brands like Urban Decay offer excellent options that come in a variety of vibrant colors that are perfect for festival vibes.

Waterproof Eyeliners and Mascaras

Going for a waterproof formula will ensure that your lashes and liner stay pristine no matter how much you sweat.

Set It and Forget It

To ensure your cheek color stays in place, layer a bit of powder blush or bronzer over your cream products. This helps set the cream and gives your skin a beautifully dimensional look.

Long-Wear Lipsticks

Choose long-wearing lipsticks that won’t fade after a few sips of water. Liquid lipsticks typically offer the best staying power, with brands like Wet n' Wild offering a range of colors that stay put all day.

Seal the Deal

To maximize the longevity of your lip color, fill in your entire lip with a lip liner before applying your lipstick. Not only does this add depth, but it also acts as a base for your lipstick to adhere to, boosting its staying power.

Set and Protect – The Final Touches

A good setting spray is crucial for locking in your makeup. Look for sprays that offer both longevity and protection against environmental factors like heat and humidity. Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray is a fan favorite that keeps makeup looking fresh for up to 16 hours.

Sun Protection

Since you’ll be outdoors, don’t forget to apply and reapply sunscreen throughout the day. Consider makeup products with SPF or opt for a lightweight sunscreen spray that can be applied over makeup without disrupting it.
