Festival Beauty Essentials

The nights are getting lighter, the weather is getting (sort of) warmer, and finally… festival season is upon us! Coachella kicked off festival season in style, and everyone here at HQhair was instantly filled with envy. Over the next few months, we’ll be seeing festival highlights everywhere and we’ll probably spend our days insanely jealous at everyone that’s getting drunk in a field with their best gal pals and good music.

For those of you who were lucky enough to snap up some tickets to your festival of choice, (or maybe just prepared with tonnes of tabs open when the tickets are released) we’ve devised the ultimate guide to Festival Beauty Essentials!
