Festivals are all about letting your beauty creativity soar, so get wild with your look and DO NOT hold back.

Glitter, shimmer, shine! Dousing yourself in glitter is not something you can usually do in your daily life. However, festivals allow you to glitter yourself up as much as you like. You are sure to get noticed while the sun hits you just right. You will look like a shimmery goddess. Anastasia Beverly Hills makes a loose glitter that comes in 8 distinct color combinations. It is “ultra-reflective” and metallic. You can use this safely on your face, body and hair. Always be sure to keep any sort of glitter safely away from your eyes, though! So go wild with glitter and feel like the star you are!
