Perhaps one of the most well-loved hair trends (by celebrities and mere mortals, alike), roughly textured waves are a no brainer when it comes to a festival-ready beauty look. Perfectly wearable regardless of the weather, tousled bends and curls are always on point and totally forgiving come rain, wind or sunshine.
For the just-right amount of volume, hold and shine, we like Ouai Wave Spray, $26, from the fairy godmother of celebrity manes herself, Jen Atkin. Formulated with rice protein to protect your strands from the inside out, this lightweight spray keeps sun damage at bay and smells delicious to boot. Add a bandana or hair wrap if your roots start to look less than fresh. This mesmerizing gold one is by I'm With the Band, $28.

As any beauty junkie and festival-goer can attest, no look is complete sans a jaw-dropping nail look. From studded and sequin embellishments to finely penned designs, the sky is the limit when it comes to your tips. Short on time or cash? You can create a dazzling design right at home. Go ham with crafting essentials like sequins, rhinestones and beads. Or, fake an intricate manicure with Coachella-worthy NCLA Nail Wraps, in What Filter Should I Use?, $16.

Flirty and super on-trend for festival season, saturated, Rainbow Brite-inspired eyes create "It" girl drama that also feels playful and whimsical. Though initially daunting, this Coachella-inspired graphic eyeliner look only requires a small arsenal of products -- as in, eyeliner -- lots of it. To recreate the Crayola finish, try NYX Vivid Bright Eyeliners, $7. With nine gorgeous shades, picking your poison has never looked better. And for once, mixing is encouraged.

Since we've established that there's no such thing as too much sparkle, take the trend farther with bold metallic pigment on your brows. Or, for a tamer approach, brush your glitter of choice solely on your ends. A product like Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner, $20, is easy to navigate and the color range will complement any Coachella-inspired beauty look. Craving all the drama? Work the product through the entire brow and keep the momentum going all the way to your lashes. Marc Jacobs Lamé Noir Ultra-Glittering Mascara, $26, produces an ultra-fluttery result that's double-take dreamy.

Rife with thumping music, skimpy outfits and crazy antics (to put it mildly), Coachella isn't all that different from a circus-esque carnival, no? And while you may have thought your face-painting days were over, think again. As with so many a trend from our childhoods, face paint has made a comeback -- in the form of glitter freckles and glitter tears. And if our crystal balls (aka Instagram feeds), prove correct, the trend will be hot and heavy during the heady weeks of Coachella. Play with dots, designs and doodles for a festival- approved complexion that looks anything but cartoonish. Glitter, crystals and tattoos elevate elegantly.
