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.
Newsflash: Your part has more potential than you think. Tattooing (yes, tattooing) your tresses with shimmering stars is just one of the many ways you can spice up your Coachella-inspired beauty look this season. Another perk? They totally distract from that second- (or third-) day grease.
Kristen Ess (the mastermind behind virtually all of Lucy Hale's mic-drop hair moments) used these Hair and Body Tattoos from Scunci, $4.99. They're majestic, metallic and totally user-friendly. Simply cut the designs into strips, place them onto your hair, and then saturate the area with water. Voila!
