So the season of the street and music festivals has finally arrived! Street vendors with delicious eats, jewelry, art, amazing music, and tons of unique little finds make every festival worth while. Check out a few of our skin, hair, and makeup tips to keep in mind when you're planning to head out for a day of street fair fun.
Bun it. You want to keep hair out of the way to look at vendors' wears comfortably. And if it's hot, keep hair off your neck and back. Avoid having to keep readjusting your tresses behind your ears or shoulders by rocking a classic topknot. It's chic, keeps you looking cool, and on a warm day, you'll feel cool too.
Braid It. Go bohemian and brig out your inner hippie. Braids are another way to contain hair, but offer tons of flair and intricate style. Check out our Top 5 Romantic Braids for inspiration. The looks may see complicated, but a few minutes of simple braiding always creates a day full of pretty hair compliments.
Let Skin Breath. During the summer, the last thing you want to feel like you're wearing is a mask. Go light and only conceal skin where it's needed. We recommend trying Natural Skin Tone Sunscreen by Cotz ($20). The tinted moisturizer also contains SPF 40, so you're armed against UV rays and still look your best.
Pop of Color. If your makeup is feeling a little too paired down, there's nothing wrong with a single pop of color. Red is always in, so try this new color we are loving by Armour Cosmetics. Shade Barracuda will deliver the glossy fire engine red you need to feel whole again.
Skip the Shadows and Kiss the Sun. Keep things light on the eyes and just use a little mascara. A few lash comb throughs of a basic black shade go a long way to accentuate eyes. Instead, focus on bronzer to get skin in summer shape, applying it the cheekbones, center of forehead, chin, and Cupid's bow.
And whatever tip you decide to take, don't forget the shades!
