If you’re not sure what makeup look to go for at your favourite summer festivals, atCosmetics has some must-try ideas for you.
Summer means heat, but it also means music, parties, and festivals! The keywords are: Shine and Bold Colours – so embrace the freedom to be daring and creative, and let your unique style shine through.
Some festivals may already have passed, but there are still plenty of chances to show off your signature look – whether it’s MEO Sudoeste, Sol da Caparica or Vodafone Paredes de Coura. Thinking about those high-energy days, atCosmetics has rounded up the best product suggestions to help you slay the scene.
FIRST THINGS FIRST – PROTECT YOUR SKIN
With that strong summer sun, it’s essential to keep your skin hydrated and protected. That’s why atCosmetics recommends the Skin Generics Pro Vit. D + Probiotics Activating Cream – it ensures hydration, vitamin D production and microbiome balance. For sun protection, go for the Tinted Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+, which offers UVA and UVB protection and can be used with or without makeup.
MAKE YOUR EYES POP
Eyes are the star of any festival makeup. Use vibrant, shimmery colours and go for a waterproof mascara or false lashes to turn heads. Try the Mardi Gras eyeshadow palette from W7 – bold, pigmented, and ultra-sparkly. For lashes, go for essence's I Love Extreme Waterproof Mascara or Catrice’s Faked Big Volume lashes.
DON’T FORGET THE LIPS
Lips deserve just as much attention! Think vibrant, metallic or glossy shades. Hydration is key, so pick a product that gives shine and nourishment – like the Dr. PAWPAW Shimmer Balm, which leaves your lips soft, glossy and festival-ready.
NAIL YOUR NAIL ART
Paint your nails and elevate your style with nail art accessories. We recommend the Heavenly Holo Full Cover Nail Stickers from Catrice and the Broken Holo Nail Stickers from essence – easy to apply and super fun!
LOCK IT ALL IN
With all the dancing and heat, your makeup needs serious staying power. Start with a good face primer, follow with an eyeshadow primer, and finish with a setting spray. We recommend Catrice's Dream Ten-sational 10-in-1 Primer, essence’s Prime Like a Boss eyeshadow base, and the Fix and Last 18h Setting Spray for long-lasting results.
With our tips, you’re now ready to enjoy summer with music, friends and flawless makeup!
