School is coming to an end, and it’s festival season. Whether you’re lucky enough to go to Coachella or you are going to your local music festival, here are some festival necessities!

1. Water

You will be dancing and singing your heart out. For that reason, you will need to stay hydrated at all times. Carry a refillable water bottle with you to make sure you stay hydrated in that blazing sun. Water will give you the energy to scream and cry to your favourite band and dance the night away.

2. Sunscreen

Music festivals are usually outdoors in the blazing heat, with the sun shining as bright as can be. In that case, you must put some SPF on to keep yourself from getting burned. 

3. Sparkly eyeshadow

Sparkly eyeshadow is a great feature to your festival makeup look. It adds a cool and fun element to your makeup look, and shows everybody that you’re all about having a good time and singing your heart out. I love the eyeshadow called Last Dance by MAC. It has a golden, pink tone, and has a lot of sparkles that do not overpower your eyes. It is the perfect eyeshadow to add some shimmer to your summer makeup.

4. Powder

You are going to be sweating a lot while you dance the night away. In order to keep your face from running, touch up throughout the day with a bit of finishing powder.

5. Blotting Paper

Blotting papers are also a great way to remove the sweat from your face, especially if you have oily skin. Use the blotting paper and then powder to keep your face matte throughout the day.

6. Jean shorts

Jean shorts are comfortable, cute, and go with everything. They will keep you nice, comfortable, fashionable, and in style while your with your friends at an outdoor concert.

7. Nude sandal heels

You should pair a pair of nude sandal heels with your jean shorts to make your look come together, give you a bit of height, and elongate your legs without being too uncomfortable. Steve madden has great nude sandals that are comfortable and stylish to wear with any outfit and for any occasion.

8. A cute pair of sunglasses

The sun is going to be shining all its rays throughout the music festival. Keep your eyes safe by wearing cute and stylish sunglasses that have UV protection.

9. Earplugs

Earplugs might be a good idea to bring with you to a music festival, as the noise can be deafening. Everyone will be screaming like crazy, telling their favourite artists how much they love them, and singing along with the artists too. After a couple of hours you might need a little break from all of that noise, so instead of leaving the venue, just put on some ear plugs and give your ears some rest for a little while.

10. Protein  bars

Make sure to bring snacks with you, especially protein bars. A mixture of heat, dancing, and singing will take a lot of energy out of a person and a quick, healthy and small snack like a protein bar is an easy and quick way to re-energize. Cliff bars are really great and can be found anywhere.
