Beauty Game Musts this Festival Season
Six ways to look fresh and fierce.
Let’s be honest: do you love festival season for the music, or for the fabulous beauty looks? If you said both, you’re a Nature's Bounty® Hair, Skin & Nails kind of girl. You know that the looks debuted in Palm Springs this month set the tone for summer beauty trends, and you know that taking care of your hair, skin and nails will create a healthy foundation from within for your latest creative look!
This past weekend, Nature’s Bounty joined us at the Create & Cultivate Desert Pop Up Event in Palm Springs, where we had a day full of fun, food, beauty and conversation, not to mention, guests got some super chic pink manicures with adorable festival-inspired stickers to kick off festival season the right way.
Thanks to our friends and partners at Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails, we’ve put together five beauty routine “musts” to prep for festival season, and one beauty challenge, should you accept it.
GET YOURSELF A SETTING POWDER
We all know that festival season brings out the heat, and a sweaty debut isn’t our favorite look. Purchase a setting powder with SPF (yes that Palm Springs sun is no joke) that mattifies, shines and sets makeup. Key for long days in the desert. Its sweat-resistant formula will also smooth your skin’s appearance and reduce shine. Plus, it’s easy to re-apply through the day.
MANI GALORE
We all know un-manicured nails are no fun (re: boring). Spice up your look with a fun splash of color, and make sure your nail game is strong. The best part about festival season is that you have free reign to be bold and daring! So show us what you got!
GUMMY POWER
If you want to look and feel the part this festival season, it’s important to remember that beauty starts from within! While of course doing things like applying your daily moisturizer and sunscreen will always be key, don’t forget to nurture your inner beauty as well.
Nature’s Bounty® Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies are a delicious addition to your beauty game! These gummy vitamins work from within to support lustrous hair, healthy nails and vibrant skin.*
If you’re new to taking vitamins and supplements and want to test things out first before adding to your beauty routine, check out the Nature's Bounty® Hair, Skin & Nails Challenge, which is a great way to try Hair, Skin, & Nails Gummies or Softgels for one month, risk-free. By providing the vital nutrients your body needs everyday including Biotin, Vitamin C and E, Nature's Bounty is helping you look and feel your best*. Consider it an essential part of anyone’s festival prep routine (you can thank us later)!
UNDER EYE MASK IT
If you want a fresh-face with your braid, but you don’t have time to get up on the zzz’s, a gel eye mask can really do wonders. Eye masks can hydrate and moisturize the delicate eye area for an immediate de-puff effect. With a cooling effect, skin under the eyes is left feeling comforted and refreshed whilst arnica extract helps reduce appearance of baggy eyes and puffiness for an instantly brighter eyed appearance. A gel eye mask treatment is a great idea to prep the under eye area before a big event.
NO MASCARA, NO PROBLEM
If you want to be able to hop from pool party to pool party without reapplying mascara (or, le sigh, having it run down your face) take a hour pre-festival and get your lashes done. There are plenty of spots where you can nab a full or half set of mink lashes. They last for up to six weeks and will actually have people asking, "Did you wake up like that?"
IF YOU’RE FLYING IN
Make sure to hydrate. A lack of fluids can leave you looking tired after a long flight-- and that’s the last thing you want. Plus, the more you hydrate, the more you glow.

Be honest. How deep have you scrolled into the #festivalfashion hashtag to find your outfit inspo? With over half a million tags we’re guessing you’ve gone dark for hours. But there is a light at the end of the festival dressing tunnel.
And if you’re a little stumped on how to put together outfits that will carry you from Bonnaroo to Outside Lands, we’re connecting you to the brand that has effortless festival style in the bag.
Just launched, French Connection’s midsummer collection is right on time for festival-inspired styles. Scroll the below. Find your faves. And remember pics, or it didn’t happen.
Boho babe it, just like your mom did
The style that makes an appearance every time the weather gets warm. You can keep it flowy, simple, and oh-so-easy to dance in with a boho look that throws it back to music fests of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Because you want something you can shake in ‘til the sun sets. This look is effortless in every way.
Hit the here to stay off-the-shoulder trend
It's here for a good time and a long time. Simple, but chic. That’s how to to the festival circuit. The winning off-the-shoulder look is here to stay the summer long (#fashionstaycation). And with a plunging V, you’ll feel breezy and ready to roam the festival grounds. This look is pretty-meets-practical. *Bonus* looks rad with high-tops or sneakers.
Do a tee and denim, the festival way
Cropped and wide-legged is the denim silhouette of the year, and luckily, it’s perfect for long festival days where comfort dressing is key. Paired with a landscape tee and sneakers, it’s an outfit you won’t have to think twice about, but everyone else will.
Do yourself a fashion favor & get into festival vestivities
A raw-edge denim vest with embellished pockets and collar is the perfect way to amp up the ten pairs of jean shorts you already own. You can be charming with a side of danger. (Which coincidentally sums up how we feel about festival season in general.)
Jumpsuit up to get down
Everyone knows that a jumpsuit makes for the least fussy and the most playful outfit. This classic red jumpsuit says you’re ready for an adventurous festival rollick (it’s great for climbing onto shoulders), which a touch of elegance on the side (and also lounging in the grass). Loose, lovely, and perfect for pairing with high top sneakers for weekend-long extravaganzas.
Be safe out there and remember: bosses wear sunscreen.
