With festival season upon us, its time to start outfit planning and planning 'the look'. Below are some ideas to help inspire you to look the BOMB at whatever festival you go to.

Make Up

When it comes to festivals there is no such thing as too much glitter, in fact the more the merrier!!

Face gem kit are all the rage this year with Penny' and other high street stores leading the charge. For those who consider themselves more conservative and cringe at the idea of glitter try opting for a bright vibrant lip. When it comes to festival make up try using products that are long lasting (I'd recommend L'Oreal Paris Infallible Matte 24 Hour Foundations)

**Tip: Check out sites like Instagram and Pinterest for inspiration (although bear it mind it NEVER looks the same on you as it does in the picture).

Hair

The thing about Irish festivals is that it's either going to be rainy or incredibly sunny so having some sort of structure to your hair do is probably the safest option. Plaits/braids are a GOD SEND for festivals, try experimenting with your braids by introducing dino braids, milkmaid braids and dutch braids to your repoitoire.

Nobody said that glitter was just for your face, so sprinkle some along your parting or even all over your head for that festival vibe.

Accessories like hair rings, pom pom clips and are great to add to your hair do for that little something extra. ASOS have a great range of hair accessories that are festival appropriate.

Temporary hair colours are fast becoming the new IT trend and festivals as made famous by Kylie Jenner at last years Coachella. My favourite temporary hair dyes are without a doubt Bleach London's Super Cool Colours, available at Boots.ie

If temporary hair dye isn't your thing try out Bleach London's Hair Crayons in the range in colours (These also double up as great lippy) These miracle crayons allow you to add colour to certain strands of hair and wash out after 1 use.

**Tip: For a messy/more relaxed look, braid your hair the night before and sleep in the braids. The morning of the festival spray some dry shampoo and you are good to go!!
