Have you got your looks planned out?

Have you got your looks planned out?

Celebrity make-up artist Collette Casey and 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® share their festival faves with staying power, to keep you looking fresh faced all day long.

Collette Casey says; "Festivals are the perfect chance to subtly introduce striking colours to your make-up look, especially your eyes."

First things first…

Contact lens wearers should always put in their lenses before applying make-up - opt for 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® in NATURAL SPARKLE™ to give your eyes a brightening boost! If you're heading to a festival, make sure that your hands are clean before inserting lenses or applying eye make-up

All about the base…

Without the luxury of having your full make up bag on you, first apply a dab of concealer under the eyes, followed by using tinted moisturiser to help give you a dewy base - perfect for dancing in the sunshine.

Get the brow knowhow...

Brows frame the eyes and shouldn't be overlooked when it comes to festival glam. For a quick brow fix, use a brow gel and apply in soft, neat strokes from the inner to the outer part of the brow. Gently comb through to soften the look and then use a clear brow gel to keep your brows in place.

Now add a shimmer…

Next it's time for a sun kissed glow, you can achieve this by applying bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks with a mini blusher brush.

And sparkle…

To add a subtle radiance to your eyes, apply a cream eye shadow as they last all day and are also suitable for contact lens wearers as it's less likely to get in your eyes.

A final flick…

Get wow with winged eyeliner! Creating this look can be tricky, so use a gel or liquid liner, mark where you want your flick to finish, and use as a guide when applying your liner to the lash line.

…and if you're feeling confident

Use an electric blue pencil on the lower lash line to give your eyes a pop of colour.

For a festival ready finish… all you have to decide is how bold you want to go!

Go for a bold lip…

Keep your look young and fun and use a strong pink lip colour - matte will compliment your luminous complexion and help the colour last.

…or a demure nude

Alternatively, try a natural lip to keep all attention on your eyes.

For festival goers who require vision correction, 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE ® beauty enhancing contact lenses are your perfect accessory. These innovative lenses correct vision as well as enhance the appearance of eyes - without actually changing eye colour. The unique iris-inspired design accentuates the natural radiance of the eyes, while a combination of light effect patterns helps brighten their appearance.
