Festival Beauty Essentials

We can't all be as festival gorgeous as Beyonce - how awesome was she at Glastonbury? - but that doesn't mean you have to go bare-faced because these great products are your festival beauty essentials:

Keep dirt, grime and spots at bay. Keep skin clean with wipes, a handy makeup and cleanser tool. Nivea has just released travel sized packs of its Daily Essentials Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes, buy from leading pharmacies. Can't live without your black kohl or favourite eyeliner? Avoid panda eyes, use Japonesque Beauty Fixation makeup remover cotton buds, available from

Ditch full-sized toilettries and take mini, travel sized versions. And if you're favourite foundation doesn't come in a small size, Bobbi Brown does a range of empty bottles and containers, perfect for space-saving plus you can reuse year after year.

Get rid of that festival smell, don't bother with expensive and bulky perfume bottles, try Body Shop's Love Etc Solid Perfume, £5. It's sandalwood and jasmine scents will mask any unpleasant odours. Or douse yourself with body spray and Origins Gloomaway is refreshing and uplifting, setting you up for another day of festival madness.

Skin gets hot and sweaty with all that dancing, so ditch the heavy foundation base for something lighter. Use Clarins new HydraQuench Tinted Moisturiser, £27, buy from Clarins counters nationwide.

Showers are scant so freshen up hair with dry shampoos. Batiste does a great range, available from Boots. Or try Trevor Sorbie's Beautiful Volume Dry Shampoo. And dreading the toilets? Use a hand santizer to keep hands clean and germ-free. Try Boots for travel sized products. 

And avoid the red raw look, make sure you pack sunscreen and Clinique's SPF 35 Targeted Protection Stick is the perfect pocket-sized, £15.50, buy from Clinique counters nationwide.
