Metallic flash tattoos in all their glistening glory have stolen the show and decorated practically every festival attendee the past couple of seasons. Are they gorgeous, yes. Predictable, you betcha.
Try this season's fresh and more understated take a la tiny ink-black designs that add subtle drama to any beauty look. We're having a current love affair with Milk Makeup's Tattoo Stamp, $12, available in four adorable designs that can endure even the most sweat-prone of days. Pair a stamp (or five) with a cool AF cat-eye for double the dreaminess. We recommend Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, $22, for Holy Grail staying power.
A statement-making lip is not only a summertime essential, but a music festival rite of passage. And though your signature shade of red, berry or nude might feel comfortably familiar, this season it's all about upgrading your pout with a fierce wash of neon or pastel. Plus, with such a bold, fit-for-a-fairytale hue, the rest of your festival look can (and should) stay blissfully simple. Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain, $14, in Siren Song is the perfect shade of mermaid mint. Plus, the budge-proof formula won't transfer to your cup -- or your plus-one's lips.
We're (hair) flipping over one of the season's biggest hair trends -- glittered-up roots. (See 21 Glitter Hairstyles More Magical Than a Unicorn.) Perfect fodder for frizz-prone festival hair, a dose of glitter instantly glamourizes even the most mundane style. However, we're partial to this year's Coachella quintessential: Double. Buns. With a generous helping of strategically placed glitter, this celestial-esque style couldn't look more goddess-like.
Though we haven't met a bold, matte lip, or highly pigmented shadow that hasn't made us #swoon, there's something to be said for a more minimalist, albeit equally mesmerizing, beauty look -- especially when it comes to endless hours of booze, sweat and eats that are par for the course at summer music festivals. Glossy, almost wet-looking lids are going to be huge this summer and what better time to debut the lust-worthy trend than at the anything-goes ambiance of Coachella? The barely there shimmer is easy to maintain and you'll never have to worry about technicolored streaks or smudges.
Butter London Glazen Eye Glosses, $24, have a luxe, gel-like consistency but are all work and no play when it comes to their crease-resistant, budge-proof formula. Plus, the brand just released three, ultra-magical shades: Mermaid, Moonshine and Icing. Bonus: You can also use them to draw freehand metallic flash tattoos.
If you haven't gotten the memo, glitter is having a moment. And though you could prep for Coachella by simply bathing in the stuff, we recommend spreading the sparkle with a more strategic hand. When placed on top of bold and saturated lip as demonstrated by Bella Hadid, the trend has way more impact. If your lips resemble Dorothy's ruby slippers at the end of your application, congratulations, you've done the trend justice. Here, Hadid is wearing the sold-out Pat McGrath Lust 004 Kit. But you can still channel Hadid's vermillion pout with M.A.C. Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour, $21, in High Drama. Top with pixie-perfect M.A.C. Glitter, $22, in red.
