Glamming up for outdoor festivities is almost as fun as watching the bands themselves, so we've rounded up the essential beauty products to keep you looking boho - yet fresh - while you enjoy the great outdoors. The mud and mayhem need not cause havoc with your maintenance with this lovely lot…

Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Sheet Mask, £42, (for a pack of 6) Origins
OK, so there isn't much time for relaxing at a festival, but after a hard day of eating, drinking and shaking your thang, grabbing a sheet mask is just the quick fix, plus, they don't take up any room in your bag. The Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Sheet Mask from Origins soothes and calms the skin, trouncing inflammation and will totally zap your face back to life after all that booze.
Solid Perfume, from £14, Jo Malone London
Keep smelling super-sweet day long with Jo Malone's solid perfumes, which are basically travel-ready palettes that house some of the brand's most popular fragrances. Containing pure beeswax, they are easy to apply and great to transport - no glass! You can fill your palettes with two Jo Malone London scents from Lime Basil & Mandarin to Wood Sage & Sea Salt.
Balm.Com, £10.00, Glossier
If you haven't bagged yourself a tube of Glossier's Balm.
Com, then we suggest you do, ASAP. The long-lasting formula not only nourishes your lips, but it's multi-purpose product – massage it into your cuticles, apply to eyelashes and even pop on dry skin patches.
Let's be honest, the last thing you need at a festival is a break out - and it's highly possible, considering there's alcohol and greasy food everywhere. Well, never fear; we've just discovered Zitsticka, and trust us, it will change your life. It's a tiny sticker with teeny micro darts within it. First, cleanse the problem area with the enclosed swabs, then simply press it over your blemish and your zit will dissolve within two hours. And because it's transparent, you can even cover it up with makeup. Genius!
Miss...So?, Love Potion £5.99, @ Superdrug
A fragrance that you can carry round in your bum bag is ideal during an action-packed stay at a festival! Love Potion by Miss So…? comes in a handy perfume mist and smells of wild berries and apple, blended with jasmine and sandalwood.

What's a festival without a little glitter, right? Primark has it covered. The high street mecca has just released another fabulous addition to their ENORMOUS PS... makeup range - glitter! This pack of sparkle is just what you need for glitzing up your face and best of all, it's biodegradable!
