When the first supermodel posts a snap of her 'Chella outfit in late April, it signals the start of music festival season, which more or less runs until the last note sounds at Austin City Limits in October. Most festival-goers follow a specific pattern when it comes to their look—skin-baring outfits, braids and fun hair accessories, and attention-grabbing makeup—but they still manage to put everything together in a way that expresses their personal style.

To ensure you have everything you need to both fit in and stand out, we've rounded up a list of festival makeup, hair, and beauty essentials. These items will prepare you for all of the Instagrammable moments and leave you free to worry about more important things, like how you're going to smuggle in the tacos you'll need to bribe your way backstage.

Festival Makeup Essentials

TheBalm Balmshelter Tinted Moisturizer ($14.75)

The best festival makeup is wild and carefree—crazy eye colors, vivid lips, so much glitter. To balance all of that out and keep your makeup from looking too heavy, use a tinted moisturizer as your foundation. This lightweight option from TheBalm evens out complexions and has SPF 18 to help protect your skin during those outdoor fests. The best part? TheBalm recommends applying it with your fingers, helping it melt seamlessly into your skin and making it a snap to put on.

Perricone MD No Blush Blush ($31.99)

To complement your seamless foundation, grab this high-tech blush, which adapts to your skin tone to create a customized flush. Dab a couple dots of the serum blush on top of your cheekbones and blend to create a pretty pink glow.

Marquee Beauty 120-Color Eye Shadow Palette ($18.99)

Electric purple? Lime green? Hot pink? Straight black? This 120-color eye shadow palette has pretty much any eye shadow color you could ever need when creating a festival look.

12-Color Glitter Eyeliner and Lip Pencils ($7.99)

There's no doubt that festival makeup is all about glitter. You cannot go wrong with full-on glitter eyes or lips, but we like a little bit of subtlety, mostly because it feels unexpected at a festival. Try taking one of these cosmetic glitter pencils and drawing a couple stars around your eyes or placing a line of dots above your eyebrows. 

Ciaté London Liquid Velvet Moisturizing Matte Liquid Lipstick ($16.99)

Long-wearing matte liquid lipsticks are great for all-day festivals because they require few, if any, touchups. These pigmented Ciaté lippies contain hyaluronic acid to combat dryness and should stay put throughout a day of drinking and eating.

Festival Hair Essentials

Hair Chalk (from $5.99) or Colorful Hair Extensions (from $8.99)

An easy way to get fun festival hair is hair chalk, which adds vibrant streaks of color that last up to three days—or about as long as many music festivals. If you're worried about the chalk mixing with sweat and bleeding onto your clothes, try colorful clip-in hair extensions. Weave them into a trendy braid to help hide the clips. Our quick braiding videos can help you brush up on your plait game.

Geometric Hair Clips ($7.99)

If your vibe is less "magical unicorn" and more "bronzed goddess," swap out the hair color in favor of metallic accessories, such as these geometric hair clips, which complement half-updos. Or tie your hair in a low ponytail, add the pin, and crisscross a leather string down the length of the pony if you want to add more visual interest, something a hairstylist that we featured in our dirty hair hairstyles article did while creating a look for Coachella.

Rose-Petal Flower-Crown Headband ($59.97)

For years, flower crowns have been a staple of cute concert looks, probably because they make it look like you tried without requiring any actual effort.

Other Music Festival Essentials to Keep You Looking Fresh

Sunscreen:

* SPF 30 sunscreen spray with a custom label ($11.99): Impress your besties by adding a group photo taken at a previous concert. The aerosol can makes it a cinch to reapply throughout the day.

* Coola mineral face sunscreen with a matte finish ($32.99): If you can't bring aerosol sprays into the fest (Lolla prohibits them, for instance), then opt for a face sunscreen in a traditional bottle. This way, you can reapply sunscreen all over your face and body and not worry about clogging your pores. We like this particular cucumber-scented sunscreen because it mattifies oily faces and fights free radicals with rosehip oil.

Mini misting fan ($13.99): This compact misting fan not only will keep you cool, but also will help freshen up your foundation and concealer throughout the day.

Anti-perspirant wipe ($14): Speaking of freshening up, these wipes are perfect for when you start to feel grimy.

Individually wrapped hand-sanitizer wipes ($19.99): These wipes, on the other hand, may come in handy when you use the portable toilets. Grab a handful before you go.

Cute leather backpack (from $15.09): Throw everything you need for a touchup in a leather backpack, which will keep your back comfortable throughout the day and your arms free for dancing.
