Festival make-up

Look on-trend with these tips and products from MAC

MAC produce products that thankfully help us to look effortlessly on-trend with only a few key items which can even be applied while sitting in a fold-up chair outside a tent! Festival season here we come!

Terry Barber, MAC's Director of Make-up Artistry says festival make-up is, "All about low maintenance and a blend of glamour and grunge." Like us, Terry agrees that some eye liner is a real festival essential, Terry's tip is to, "Go classic black but with a new wave smudge and smoke. Think panda not perfect - channel your inner Debbie Harry. Smear the lid with MAC Paintpot in Blackground for a bit of added gun metal glamour."

With endless dirt, grime and sweat from all that dancing, Terry suggests taking some handy face wipes with you, as removing make-up is just as important as putting it on. Another product that Terry calls the ‘cheat's sleep' is MAC's iconic Strobe Cream which gives you an instant 'spa glow', without the spa!

So far MAC have been busy bees making people look all rock'n'roll, à la Kate Moss, at the recent Isle of Wight festival. Their most popular requests from celebrities were fake lashes, liquid eyeliner and their lipsticks in Saint Germain, Girl About Town and Hue.

Go on, put the glamour into grunge!
