Festivals are about seeing your favorite artists perform and making memories with your friends, but the fashion and makeup opportunities are major upsides, too. You can use these over-the-top events to take risks with your look in a dreamy, low-pressure environment. Something a little more daring than what you'd wear to work, such as body shimmer oil, is perfect for the festival grounds. Here are five more trendy ideas you can use to play with your makeup this spring and summer. 

Smoky Metallic Eyes

The smoky eye is back with a metallic twist. A base layer of shimmery silver, gold or copper adds visual dimension to this classic look.

Remember that smoke usually flows in plumes on the wind and doesn't often hang in one stagnant cloud. Use this principle to carve out your eyes with the dark "smoke" elements of this look, rather than applying the dark shadow evenly all around the eye.

Glowing Wet Look

An extreme wet look is the most eye-catching trend in makeup. This goes beyond the usual natural finishes into the complete opposite of matte.

A wet look doesn't actually mean wearing a face of unset makeup. Instead, use highlighters to create the illusion of a glowy, touchably wet look. Apply the brightest part of the highlight in a concentrated dot to the highest parts of the face and use that same shade to cast an anti-shadow over your cheekbones, nose, forehead and chin.

Shimmer All Over

Festivals are all about shining in the sun, so don't restrict the highlight and glitter to only your face. You can paint artful shimmery highlights on your body as well, or simply use a body oil for an all-over goddess glow. Be careful to choose a product that won't transfer onto clothes if you become hot and sweaty.

Colorful Eyes and Lips

Primary colors and bright jewel tones are popular choices for eyes and lips this season. Not only are these colors bold and eye-catching, but they're flattering for a wide range of skin tones and eye colors. Monochromatic looks are going to be a big trend this summer, so see if you can match an eyeliner or shadow to your lipstick shade.

Red eyeliner and eyeshadow are no longer the fashion don't they were in years past. Paired with a red lip, they're a knockout as long as the undertone is correct for your coloring. If you have naturally reddish skin, however, you may prefer to try the bright yellow, blue or green iterations of this trend. Instead of matching the eyeliner to the lipstick exactly, you can also try the dark lipstick trend in the same color.

Big Blush

The last trend you should definitely try at your next music festival is a doll-like face of blush. No longer is your pink blush restricted to the outside of the face. Runways are experimenting with blush looks that completely cover the apples of the cheeks for a pink, dreamy complexion. Try a lighter blush shade for this look so as not to overwhelm your face.
