Coachella<\/a> is the closest thing we non-celebrities get to a Met Gala moment \u2014 and not because of the clothes themselves, but because of how seriously everyone treats it. Outfits get planned months in advance, the internet is ready to judge in real time, and whatever shows up there ends up shaping spring and summer trends.<\/p>\n The main difference, of course, is that there\u2019s no glam team on standby to fix your hair and makeup if it falls apart in the middle of Justin Bieber\u2019s set. (God forbid.) You\u2019re outside all day, walking between stages, and probably sweating more than you thought humanly possible \u2014 which just means your beauty routine has to work a little harder to keep you feeling fresh.<\/p>\n Realistically, you\u2019re not doing a full touch-up at a festival. At best, you\u2019re digging through your bag, reapplying something quickly, maybe using your phone camera as a mirror, and calling it a day. So whatever you bring has to be the kind of product you can use without overthinking it \u2014 or one that keeps working long after you\u2019ve forgotten about it. Below, the festival beauty essentials worth a spot in your GRWM, according to Bustle editors.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I\u2019m going to a show, I\u2019m going to be rocking some sparkle. Danessa Myricks\u2019 Infinite Chrome Flakes are perfect for the job: The iridescent, ultra-pigmented gel has major light-capturing color payoff that doesn\u2019t budge \u2014 perfect for sweaty dancing, all while staying camera-ready.\u201d \u2014 Rachel Lapidos, deputy beauty editor<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cMy toxic trait is that I rarely drink water unless it\u2019s spiked with electrolytes. Lately, I\u2019ve been loving Kylie Jenner\u2019s new hydration-boosting blends \u2014 not only do they keep you hydrated, but they also give your skin a nice little boost with bioactive collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid. All three flavors are delicious, but Strawberry Lychee is my go-to.\u201d \u2014 RL<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI don\u2019t usually stray from my go-to deodorant, but, in this case, I\u2019ll make an exception. I can\u2019t imagine a more perfect festival beauty product than one that a) keeps you fresh and b) smells like your favorite drink. Secret\u2019s Miami Mocktails Collection<\/a> features its signature 72 hours of protection, upgraded with mocktail-inspired scents. As a margarita girl, I\u2019ll definitely be reaching for Lime It Up.\u201d \u2014 RL<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWho has time for a pre-Coachella nail appointment when you\u2019re busy outfit planning and strategizing your festival game plan? Enter Nail Thoughts press-ons, which last about a week and take minutes to apply. This colorful flower-topped French set is pure swag (ahem).\u201d \u2014 RL<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAny friend of mine will tell you I don\u2019t play around when it comes to SPF reapplication. Meet the product that makes it a cinch \u2014 *and* doubles as a setting powder that doesn\u2019t crease or even budge after hours of dancing in the heat. It\u2019s become a must-have for my purse.\u201d \u2014\u00a0RL<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHeat and humidity are my hair\u2019s biggest rivals, so I always travel with an anti-frizz spray. Drybar\u2019s Final Call is my current go-to. I could easily sweat it out to Sabrina Carpenter without any flyaways ruining the vibe.\u201d \u2014 Kaitlin Cubria, deputy editor of experiences & style, Bustle & Elite Daily<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI recently got the Tory Burch Sublime Shimmer Oil, and I\u2019m completely obsessed. It\u2019s so sparkly and is the perfect finish for any skin-baring outfit, especially for d\u00e9colletage- and collarbone-forward tops. It\u2019s also infused with the brand\u2019s Sublime scent and practically doubles as a fragrance if you need more convincing. I *will* be glistening in photos, TYVM.\u201d \u2014 Alyssa Lapid, fashion writer<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cSorry, flower crowns, but my prediction is that everyone at Coachella this year will be rocking mermaid waves \u2014 and there\u2019s no easier way to get that romantic, tousled finish than with ghd\u2019s Triple Barrel waver. It always leaves my hair feeling soft, not fried, thanks to the dual temperature sensors. And the result? Less crimped, more Kylie Jenner.\u201d \u2014 Emma Stout, beauty writer<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cCalling it now: My 3 p.m. crash is officially dealt with. These gummies taste exactly like a vanilla matcha latte, and the combo of matcha and B12 gives you a little lift without the jittery, over-caffeinated feeling. They might even sub in for your usual caffeine fix when the festival lines are too long.\u201d \u2014 ES<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cMy makeup usually ends up looking like arts and craft time anyway, so why not finish it off with a marker? Summer Fridays\u2019 new lip stain has a felt tip that\u2019s compact on one side and fluffier on the other, so you can outline with precision or flip it to blur things out. I store it upside down so the tip doesn\u2019t dry out, then throw a gloss on top. Even with other products layered over it, the stain sticks around through eating, singing along to Justin Bieber \u2014\u00a0all of it.\u201d \u2014 ES<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re doing Coachella right (aka walking 20K steps in tiny shorts), this is a non-negotiable. One swipe creates an invisible buffer that actually lasts around four hours before I need to reapply. The formula also contains niacinamide<\/a>, which helps brighten the discoloration my thighs have already picked up. Basically, it\u2019s prevention and damage control \u2014 and I\u2019m not leaving my house without it.\u201d \u2014 ES<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI love glitter hair, but only if it doesn\u2019t look crunchy. This one has finely milled particles, so it\u2019s more of a shimmer than chunky sparkle \u2014 and the spray isn\u2019t sticky, so you can use it all over your body. (I like to mist it on a spoolie and run it through my brows, too.) There\u2019s a subtle vanilla scent, which is an unexpected bonus. And now that it comes in gold? I\u2019m even happier.\u201d \u2014 ES<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cSunscreen is a given at any music festival, but lips are where people tend to drop the ball. Luckily, Naturium\u2019s Phyto-Glow Lip Balm SPF 45 makes it easy. It doesn\u2019t have that chemical taste \u2014 it\u2019s more minty-vanilla \u2014 and the texture is glossy but genuinely hydrating, thanks to ingredients like shea butter and squalane. The wide, flat applicator hugs my lips, and I\u2019ve found myself using it even when I\u2019m not going outside. Because who doesn\u2019t want a juicier, plumper pout all the time?\u201d \u2014 ES<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t think I needed a jelly version of Cheirosa 62, but now I can\u2019t go anywhere without it. It\u2019s the same warm, sweet pistachio-caramel-vanilla blend as the brand\u2019s Bum Bum cream and body mist \u2014 just in a stick you can toss in your purse and swipe on whenever. The scent stays close to the skin, so it feels cocooning in a crowd. Plus, it\u2019s slightly cool to the touch, and the bouncy texture holds up in the heat.\u201d \u2014 ES<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAnother Coachella prediction? Face gems<\/a>. Not exactly groundbreaking, I know, but between Euphoria<\/em> coming back and Zara Larsson\u2019s world domination, it feels inevitable that rhinestones will be paired with bright, blown-out eyeshadow again. Courtesy of Donni Davy<\/a>, the makeup artist behind the show, Half Magic\u2019s self-adhesive face gems make the look foolproof. They actually stay put all day, even through sweat \u2014 no glue or mid-set touchups required.\u201d \u2014 ES<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cBlue eyeshadow is having a major moment thanks to Madelyn Cline\u2019s dreamy glam in Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s new \u2018House Tour\u2019 music video<\/a>. The look is perfect for a weekend in the desert, since the cerulean shade does all the talking. Plus, you can apply with a brush \u2014\u00a0or simply swipe it on with your fingertips if you\u2019re late to a performance.\u201d \u2014 Carolyn Steber, lifestyle writer<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n1<\/span>The Ultimate Sparkly Buy<\/h2>\n
