Festivals are a time for self-expression, creativity, and most importantly, fun! One of the best ways to express yourself and stand out from the crowd is through your makeup. Festival makeup is known for being bold, colourful, and sparkly, and it’s the perfect opportunity to experiment with new looks and techniques.

Cruelty-free products are those that are not tested on animals at any stage of their development. This includes both the ingredients used and the final product itself.

Opting for cruelty-free products helps protect animals from unnecessary harm and suffering. By supporting brands that do not conduct animal testing, you promote ethical practices and encourage the development of alternative testing methods.

While we do our best to offer vegan and cruelty free products, not all of our products are certified vegan and organic.

For example, in some instances, honey is used as an ingredient. Some products have a mixture of organic and non-organic ingredients.

The best way to find your favourite preference is to use the 'sort by' option on each collection page. If you select 'vegan' it will show all products that are vegan. Likewise for organic and other options available within the 'sort by' menu.

Festival Makeup: A Guide to Sparkle and Shine

Preparation is Key
Before diving into the vibrant world of festival makeup, it’s important to prepare your skin with vegan skincare. Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser. Grown Alchemist Australia offers a range of natural and organic skincare products that can help you prepare your skin for makeup application. Follow up with a lightweight moisturiser to hydrate your skin. Next, apply a primer that suits your skin type. This will help your makeup to stay put throughout the day and night.

Base Makeup
For festivals, you want a base that will last all day without melting off. RCMA foundation is a great option as it is long-wearing and comes in a wide range of shades to suit all skin tones. Apply your foundation with a beauty sponge or foundation brush and blend it out well. Remember to apply foundation to your neck as well to ensure everything matches.

Bold Eyes
Eyes are the focal point of any festival makeup look. Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your lids. This will help your eyeshadow to stay in place and prevent it from creasing. Next, apply a neutral base colour all over your lids. Now it’s time to get creative! Use bright and bold eyeshadows to create your desired look. Eye of Horus Makeup offers a range of highly pigmented eyeshadows that are perfect for creating colourful festival looks.

Glitter is a festival essential. Apply glitter glue to your lids and then pack on the glitter. You can use a mix of fine and chunky glitter to create a multidimensional effect. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colours and placements. You can also add glitter to your lower lash line or even your eyebrows.

Finish off your eye makeup with a dramatic winged eyeliner and voluminous mascara. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add false lashes for an extra dramatic effect.

Vibrant Lips
Bold lips are a must for any festival makeup look. Axiology offers a wide range of vibrant and long-lasting lipsticks. Choose a shade that complements your eye makeup. If you’re wearing a lot of glitter on your eyes, you might want to opt for a more subtle lip color. However, festivals are the perfect opportunity to experiment, so don’t be afraid to go for a bold and vibrant lip colour if that’s what you fancy!

Add Some Extra Sparkle
Festivals are all about sparkle and shine, so don’t be afraid to go all out. Apply a shimmery highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. You can also add some extra sparkle by applying glitter or rhinestones to your face. Use glitter glue or eyelash glue to stick them on.

Setting Spray
Once you’ve finished your makeup, it’s important to set everything in place. Use a setting spray to lock in your makeup and ensure it lasts all day and night. RCMA offers a great setting spray that will keep your makeup in place without making it look cakey.

Remember to Pack Essentials
If you’re going to a festival, it’s important to pack some makeup essentials in your bag. Bring a small mirror, some blotting papers, and a powder compact to touch up your makeup throughout the day. It’s also a good idea to bring some makeup remover wipes to remove your makeup at the end of the night.

Experiment and Have Fun
Festivals are the perfect opportunity to experiment with your makeup and try out new looks. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Whether you opt for a rainbow eyeshadow look, glittery lips, or rhinestone embellishments, the most important thing is to have fun and feel confident in your look.
