Best Festival Makeup Looks For the 2023 Festival Season
Festival season is upon us, so let's start practising those insta-worthy festival looks!
What we love about festival season is that it gives us the perfect opportunity to get super creative with makeup! Bold eyeshadow looks, glitter, sequins, shimmer, shine! The festival grounds are a perfect arena for self-expression.

You need to work with your client’s visions, and when it comes to festival makeup looks, colourful and trendy makeup is a must for professional makeup artists to master.
Take advantage of the 2023 festival season, and learn to express yourself in a whole new way, with these stunning festival makeup looks
Play Hard With Eyeshadow
Whether you prefer a bold and colorful eye look or a more subtle shimmer, don’t be afraid to experiment with those eye shadow looks you might have always been too afraid to try. Who knows, it could be your look of the summer! This festival makeup look by @rowisingh is an absolute mastery of the craft.
When choosing eyeshadow for an environment like a summer festival, you need to choose a formula that is heat, sweat and water-resistant. For all-day festival wear, we recommend the Klara Cosmetics 24 Shade Eyeshadow Palette - Marrakech. A long-lasting 24-hour wear with 100% colour pigmentation, make sure your makeup survives the festival day.
Glitter on Glitter on Glitter
Glitter will always be a festival staple, so don’t be afraid to go all out with this one! Whether you go for a subtle shimmer or a full-on sparkle-fest, the key to great, wearable glitter is choosing a high-quality, cosmetic-grade glitter that won't irritate your skin or transfer. We love this more subtle glitter look by @lakmeindia.
Crystal Studded Glow
The most playful festival makeup trend in 2023 we’ve seen has been fun stick-on facial decals. We’re talking crystals, sequins, stickers, diamonds and studs galore. Festivals are the perfect opportunity to have fun with your makeup, and mastering the perfect placements and patterns for these face gems is a must. We love sprinkling crystals over the lids like this, and we’re looking at Rina Sawayama for the ultimate inspiration (@rinasonline)
Eyeliner is Your Time to Shine
Gen Z has officially moved on from the cat eye; Graphic liner is taking over right now. Try bold, bright colours, keep your lines sharp and practice more intricate designs to really give your look a pop. The festival grounds are the right place to go wild with imagination. We love SZA’s look for the new Kill Bill music video, now that’s straight-up incredible makeup artistry.
Give Us a Little (or a Lot) of Colour
Festival season is all about having fun and being creative, so now’s the time to play with different colours and bolder shades. Whether you choose to use bright eye shadows, metallic lips or colourful eyeliners, the festival grounds are the one place to go allllll out. Even a simple pop of colour in the eye corners will take your look to the next level. let your creativity guide you!

Protect Your Skin
With all the festivities and dancing, it's important to protect your skin from the sun, heat, and other environmental factors. Make sure to regularly apply sunscreen with a high sun protection factor, and bring along a skin care kit to keep your skin hydrated and protected throughout the day.
Festival makeup is a fun and creative way to express yourself and add an extra sparkle to your usual look. The key is to have fun and let your creativity guide you!
