Time to stock up on sunscreen<\/a> and practice pitching a tent: Festival season is now. Kicking off in the Coachella Valley with the festival of the same name, this spring and summer, A-list acts such as Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, Charli XCX<\/a>, and Lorde are set to hit stages around the country for events including Governors Ball in New York City, Chicago\u2019s Lollapalooza, and, of course, the aforementioned Coachella. And if you plan on attending one (or a few) of those musical marathons, you\u2019re probably deep in the throes of putting together your beauty looks.<\/p>\n

When crafting a festival season beauty look, your priorities should be protection, fun, and utility. To the first point, any and all skin should be protected with an SPF that\u2019s reapplied every two hours (including your scalp, should your hairstyle expose it). To the last point, it\u2019s always a good idea to be mindful of your conditions; if you\u2019re uncomfortable in a hairstyle or makeup look when you\u2019re sitting around in air conditioning, you probably won\u2019t want to wear it on a long, hot day full of running around trying to catch different acts, no matter how cute it is. And to the second point, well \u2014 it\u2019s not every day you get the chance to express yourself to the fullest with colorful cosmetics, fanciful \u2018dos, or maximalist manicures. So go ahead and lean into it.<\/p>\n

Hair<\/h2>\n

Chappel Roan\u2019s Strategic Fishtail Braids<\/h3>\n

Fishtail braids are a Coachella classic, right up there with \u201cstudded pockets on denim shorts\u201d and \u201ccrop tops with oversized arm holes\u201d in the 2010s Festival Hall of Fame. Update the look by adding a few strategic fishtail braids throughout your hair \u2014 like how Lacy Redway did for Roan at the 2026 Grammy Awards<\/a> \u2014 instead of the classic Double Dutch style.<\/p>\n

Hilary Duff\u2019s Mermaid Waves<\/h3>\n

Another iconic Coachella hairstyle? Mermaid waves. If you have straight hair but are limited on your electricity access \u2014 and, by extension, hot tools \u2014 use a foam or spray, like Dae\u2019s Hibiscus Wave Spray<\/a>. Depending on your hair type and texture, you can either scrunch your way to instant texture or braid your hair overnight to wake up to immaculate waves.<\/p>\n

Chase Infiniti\u2019s Straight-Back Cornrows<\/h3>\n

Infiniti has proven a constant source of protective hairstyle inspo these last few months; her Oscars<\/a> boho braids would have been just as at home on this list. If you can\u2019t get in a braiding appointment before heading out for the weekend, straightback cornrows, like the ones Infiniti wore to the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards<\/a>, are a relatively easy DIY.<\/p>\n

Lori Harvey\u2019s Slicked-Back Bun <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Whether you\u2019re always committed to a slick-back bun or ponytail, or tend to turn to the style around day three or four, it\u2019s a festival mainstay for a reason: It\u2019s quick, practical, and always looks put-together. Leave out a few Y2k-esque spikes in the front (and maybe even leave out a piece or two at the front) to amp up the party energy.<\/p>\n

Laufey\u2019s Pearly Accents<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Adding glitter or gemstones to your hair is an instant shortcut to a mane full of mirth. If you\u2019re feeling especially nostalgic, add glitter gel or spray to your part, or use it to slick your hair back. For a more pared-back take on the concept, add a few strategic gems \u2014 like those in the Half Magic Face Gems<\/a> set \u2014 around your hairline, similar to this pearly Laufey look.<\/p>\n

Makeup<\/h2>\n

Zara Larsson\u2019s Pretty Pink Gemstones<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The makeup portion of this list could seriously be nothing but pictures of Sophia Sinot\u2019s Midnight Sun<\/em> looks for Larsson. (I\u2019m very proud of myself for limiting it to two.) While the colorful gemstones really make this frosty silver and hot pink eyeshadow pop, honestly, you could still make a statement without them.<\/p>\n

Tyla\u2019s Frosty Iridescent Hightlighter<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An iridescent highlighter that\u2019s wet-looking, as opposed to super glittery, is a great way to take an editorial approach to festival makeup. Add it to your inner corners, brow bone, and the top of your cheeks, as Esther Edeme did here for Tyla. Try Danessa Myricks Beauty\u2019s<\/a> Vision Flush Glow Hyper Radiant Liquid Highlighter in Femme<\/a> for a similar vibe.<\/p>\n

Rhea Raj\u2019s Gemstone Centerpiece<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For the very committed, 365 Festi Girls among us, make gemstones the centerpiece of your makeup \u2014 quite literally \u2014 with a shimmering line running from your scalp to your sternum. Even if you aren\u2019t quite up to recreating the key element of this Raj makeup, the shimmering gold-and-purple eyeshadow alone is plenty inspiring.<\/p>\n

Olandria Carthen\u2019s Rock-and-Roll Eyeliner<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I will always extoll the virtues of an eyeliner-heavy look, especially when the goal is maximum drama: All you need is a little patience and the right liner (opt for liquid if you\u2019re experienced, gel if you\u2019re less so) to create an edgy, graphic eye. The Barbie blush and dark lip liner up the impact of this Carthen makeup moment.<\/p>\n

Zara Larsson\u2019s Sunkissed Blush<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If the goal is pretty, sunkissed, and relatively low-key, consider a blush-heavy vibe. Sinot partnered with Maybelline to create this flushed look on Larsson at the 2026 Grammy Awards; the brand\u2019s Cloudtopia Blush in Solar Serenity<\/a> can be easily built up on the cheeks or lips, and fits into the smallest of concert bags for easy touchups.<\/p>\n

Nails<\/h2>\n

Kylie Jenner\u2019s Rhinestone Flowers<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jenner<\/a>\u2019s sheer, pinky-nude mani with rhinestone flowers isn\u2019t just worthy of Coachella inspo: They\u2019ll literally be at Coachella. The Kylie Cosmetics founder had her nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt, swap out the pastel gemstones for brighter hues before she headed out to the desert.<\/p>\n

Megan\u2019s Charm Box Mani<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The manicure portion of this list could be nothing but pictures of Katseye\u2019s nail looks; what Larsson is to maximalist, fun makeup, these girls are to manis. While Megan\u2019s charm box nails \u2014 loaded with bows, pearls, and butterflies, among other accessories \u2014 might be tough to DIY, you can still get in on the over-the-top fun: The band\u2019s nail artist, Naomi Yasuda, collaborated with Magnum ice cream to create the festival-ready Dessert in the Desert Press-On Nail Kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s Rhinestone Chrome<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ganzorigt actually provided a tutorial for this Carpenter mani, which features a chrome base (glazed with OPI\u2019s Tin Man Can Glaze Chrome Powder<\/a>, of course) and plenty of colorful gemstones gathered toward the cuticle in a sort of reverse-French fashion.<\/p>\n

Chase Sui Wonders\u2019 Mother-Of-Pearl Mani<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The easiest festival manicure, a single color against your natural nail, can still be pretty darn enchanting. Try a sheer, shimmery gel polish (and for a chip-free finish all weekend, you\u2019ll want to opt for gel) for a whimsical vibe. Apres Gel\u2019s Light & Shadow in Our Holy Night<\/a> can help you achieve something similar to this set.<\/p>\n

Dua Lipa\u2019s Polka Dot Mani<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A leading mani trend of 2025, the polka dot craze is still going strong. And you don\u2019t have to be an advanced nail artist to DIY: Use a nail art brush or even a bobby pin to drop on your dots after your base shade \u2014 or shades, if you\u2019re incorporating French tips like Lipa\u2019s \u2014 have dried.<\/p>\n
