Festival Beauty Essentials: The 15 products you need for Glastonbury 2024

Not only does this pocket sunscreen protect you from the rays, but it's also formulated with niacinamide to give you a healthy-looking glow. 

Evian facial spray has been a cult classic for festival goers for years and with Glasto shaping up to be a scorcher you'll thank yourself for having this 'shower in a can'.

Hair by Sam McKnight's Lazy Girl is one of the best dry shampoo formulas out there. It's non-chalky and super lightweight, ideal for refreshing your locks between washes. (Or for extra volume on clean hair.) It doesn't feel overly powdery, but gentle and unobtrusive. Plus, the frankincense, juniper wood and water lily blend scent - created in collaboration with perfume maven Lyn Harris - is just delightful. 

If you're yet to see this product doing the rounds on TikTok let me be the first to tell you that the girlies are big fans. Available in four different colourways and designed to have a bouncy texture that glides on like a dream for a sheer, buildable burst of colour that lasts all-day.

Nars' Pure Radiant version is truly first-rate - I've been devoted to it for nearly a decade now. I've tried heaps over the years, but I keep coming back to this cult classic because of how seamlessly it melts into the skin. Late nights and alcohol - for many, two non-negotiable pillars of the festival weekend - can leave your skin looking dull. Perk it back up with this forgiving, sheer base - a tonic for lacklustre complexions.

Stila's Glitter & Glow shadows are so easy to apply. They glide onto the lids, unexpectedly silky-smooth for glitter formulas, delivering high-impact sparkle in seconds. I've owned a number of shades over the years, but I've settled on 'Wanderlust' for this particular occasion.  Holographic and mesmerising, it suits the festival mood perfectly.

Suitable for all skin types, just add water to expand, then cleanse as needed. I promise you these hypoallergenic compressed towels will give you no excuse to sleep with your festival makeup on.

Sadly, this year Face Lace announced that it is starting to wind down its retail presence, so do stock up before you miss out. The brand's hypnotic 'Devotion' liners were spotted on Florence Pugh earlier this year within a look created by Alex Babsky for the NYC premiere of Dune: Part Two. But for this festival season, the 'Reflectasy' design has caught my eye. Full of impact and open to interpretation, these chrome stickers feel unusual and beautifully standout. 

Without wanting to be hyperbolic, Sensai's Lash Volumiser 38°C is actually pretty life-changing. It was recommended to me by Princess Diana's makeup artist Mary Greenwell, and I'm hooked. As Mary promised, it doesn't budge, comfortingly resistant to sweat, water and sebum, hence why it's one of her red carpet go-tos on celebrity clients. But it's also a cinch to apply - the triple spiral wand coats each lash from root to tip and delivers excellent separation. I also love that the wand is lightweight and short, you can get right into your inner corners.

Even when I'm not on official festival business I wear and love these powerful spot stickers. Gone are the days of hiding pimples under a slew of concealers, 2024 is all about embracing skin imperfections and making them cute while doing so.

If a glass travel spray bottle is permitted, you can't go wrong with Ormonde Jayne's 'Ormonde Woman'. Lush and uplifting, it's such an unusual, thoughtful scent, and for me, a cloud of this feels akin to olfactive armour. It's affirming and grounding, great for when you're away from home.

Creamy and comforting, La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast balm is clinically proven to soothe "uncomfortable, damaged, or irritated skin" and encourage speedy repair. It's so handy, especially in situations such as festivals where you don't have access to your usual product stash.

A relative newcomer to the beauty scene, Sculpted by Aimee (created by leading Irish makeup artist Aimee Connolly), has struck a chord among editors with its your-skin-but-better HydraTint. But it also makes an excellent SPF mist. This feather-light formula is brilliant for on the go. It contains apricot oil and vitamin E for added nourishment, but most importantly it doesn't disrupt my makeup or feel overly wet. It's fine, non-greasy and dries almost instantly. 

Neal's Yard's version is one of my most-used handbag dwellers. Killing up to 99.9% of bacteria, it's ideal for maintaining hygiene levels while you're out and about. It's a spray rather than a gel format and packed with niaouli, lemongrass and witch hazel to form a clean, fresh scent.

Jo Malone is known for creating some of the most lust-worthy fragrances in the world and this set of five mini's will last you longer than you think. Pop one in your bag, your pocket, your tent and gift another to your friend in case the other four go missing in the mosh.
