Coachella Color: Makeup Items You Need This Festival Season


Festival season is in full swing and whether you’re going to Coachella or not you’ll need makeup with major stay power this summer season. Summer can be brutal for your makeup — and that’s why you need to carefully choose your products to make sure you’re really getting a whole lotta bang for your buck!

With all of the hours you’ll be spending outdoors (instead of in front of a mirror), you’re going to need makeup you can really count on. Items such as ColourPop’s new Blotted Lip formulas and Tarte’s Waterproof Clay Pot Liners are all products you can count on to deliver hassle-free beauty.

Shop the products below to make sure your festival beauty routine is as minimal, but as powerful as possible. Makeup that won’t budge is just what you need this summer, so get these items in your cosmetics clutch, as soon as possible!

1. Ultra Blotted Lip

Ultra Blotted Lip in Double Scoop, $6, ColourPop Cosmetics

A bit of coral that's transfer-proof and sure to last is just what you need! You'll keep this lip color on rotation all summer long!

2. Waterproof Liner

Rose gold everything should be your motto this season! Slick on this waterproof liner and it won't go anywhere! Go swimming, dance in the sprinklers, do whatever you please, knowing your liner's still flawless. Yas, girl. YAS.

3. Cloud Paint Blush

Cloud Paint in Dusk, $18, Glossier

If you're looking for natural-looking color that will last, cream products are a great option. They feel like you're not wearing anything and stay put, in our experience. This creamy blush is sure to keep your cheeks perfectly flushed.

4. Shimmering Primer

Radiance Primer, $38, Laura Mercier

One way to ensure your products won't melt away throughout the day is to use a primer. One that has shimmer infused will give you an overall glow, and honestly, that's the way to go!

5. Setting Powder

Soft Light Blurring Powder, $38, BECCA Cosmetics

Your regimen will be complete once a setting powder comes into play. Use this BECCA item to set makeup, blur pores and provide a natural glow. It's pretty much the best finishing product, ever!

6. Temporary Hair Dye

In case you're looking to experiment with your hair color, go for something bright and pastel. It is festival season after all! This semi-permanent dye will last just long enough for you to have some fun with your look!

7. Highlighter

Super Shock Cheek in Churro, $8, ColourPop Cosmetics

This highlighter formula is unlike any other. It's creamy, pigmented and definitely long-lasting. The "Churro" shade, in particular, is a Labels and Lacquer fave because it's like a bronzer and highlighter in one.

Get these in your personal round-up and keep them on rotation all season long. May festival season (and your makeup) last forever!
