"Minimalist" isn't a word we would use to describe the typical festival beauty look. But a pared-back look can be just as stunning as a glitter bomb one. Use a metallic silver eyeliner or a temporary tattoo to create a thin tiara design across the forehead. Leave the rest of the face au naturel. And we mean au naturel. That means no mascara.

The first rule of festival beauty is to not be afraid. There is no look that's too wild, colorful or out-there. With that philosophy in mind, swipe a rich purple eyeshadow around the entire eye area, then top it with a liberal coating of glitter. Trusty braids will complete the festival-ready look.

It wouldn't be a summer festival without floral crowns. Take the blooming beauty theme further by painting tiny flowers across your face and neck. The more random the placement, the better.

Stop channeling mermaids and unicorns for a second and go for a graphic cartoon look with round negative space eyeliner. Call it sun eyes, doll eyes or just a very cool eyeliner shape.

Put that glitter pot down. Enliven faces with bold blush and stick-on embellishment. Add color to the eyes with multicolored false lashes and eyeliner. Remember: Braids will always be in for festival season.
