The Multi-Use Make-Up Stick

Pocket Blush, £24 | Rhode

Dinky enough to fit into even the smallest of bumbags, this lightweight and hydrating formula glides on to deliver a diffused but bright flush of colour to the cheeks or lips. We love ‘Spicy Marg’, a bright coral, or ‘Plum’, which really pops on darker skin tones.

The Hair Protector & Shine Booster

Protective Shield Mist, £73 | Sisley-Paris

A good hair day at a music festival is a big ask, but with the help of this luxe mist you can at least help to protect your strands from damage and add a little shine. A light spritz around and down your hair (wet or dry) will form a non-sticky shield to lessen damage from UV rays, pollution and humidity, meaning it should stay softer and glossier for longer.

The Hydrator & Hangover Skin Cure

Anti-Fatigue Cryo Jelly Sheet Mask, £3.33 (was £4.99) | Garnier

We don’t know how it works, but even if it’s stored in a stuffy tent, this face mask somehow feels really very cold on the skin. Generously juicy and intensely hydrating via hyaluronic acid and glycerin, the cooling effect (lowering the skin temperature by -about 7°C) helps to wake up your complexion, knocking away any fatigue or grogginess from the night before.

The Dry Shampoo & Volumizer

Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo, £38 | Living Proof

Some dry shampoos can seemingly work for a second and then leave things… somehow worse than before. But this magical formula is a revelation, as it truly lifts away dirt and grease, actually cleaning the hair and scalp with fast-absorbing powders that disappear with a generous shake at the roots s. We wouldn’t do a festival without a can (or two) in tow.

The Make-Up Base & Sun Protection

The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF50, £34 | Merit

We like our festival make-up to look light and natural (anything else could just melt or sweat off, so it seems a bit pointless) and this skin tint is the perfect choice to achieve that. Oil-free and with fine natural powders that help to give a seamless, pore-blurring finish, this is a sweep-on-and-go form of coverage. The SPF50 is a bonus.

The SPF & Setting Spray

Preen Screen SPF Re-Application Mist, £32 | Ultra Violette

It can be a bore to reapply sunscreen through the day but it’s a must if you want to keep the protection levels high. Making things easier is this ultra-fine mist that not only recoats your skin with a layer of SPF50 but also helps to calm the complexion and refresh your make-up.

The Budge & Smudge-Proof Mascara

Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara, £32 | Hourglass

Come torrential rain or sunburn-inducing shine, this tubing mascara is staying put. The formula only comes off with warm water and truly does not smudge or flake. That said, it’s not too heavy either, so lashes will stay lengthened and lifted all day (and night).

The Body Bronzer & Summer Scent

GlowMotions Glow Body Oil, £35 | Sol de Janeiro

Assuming the weather is nice enough to bare some skin, give legs and arms a bronzed boost with this shimmering, scented body oil. Available in three shades, it softens skin with a blend of oils (coconut, acai and sunflower), adds a gorgeous glow and – thanks to the vanilla, almond and jasmine filled Cheirosa 62 fragrance – leaves behind an addictive summer scent.
