Coachella Survival Guide

These days, the only thing more important than the line up at Coachella is what you look like at Coachella. It’s a place where floral crowns abound, where flash tats know no limit, and where super-sheer tops and teensy denim cut-offs are not only accepted, but encouraged. But aside from the free-spirited nature that comes with festival fashion, there are a few sartorial conditions, plus hard-and-fast Coachella rules worth noting. For starters, styling yourself for Indio, Calif.’s desert climate presents a challenge—temps can reach as high as the 100s during the day, and drop to as low as 40 at night. Then, there’s a whole host of items banned from the grounds, like selfie sticks (slash narcissists), large backpacks, and blankets. Taking everything into account I pieced together the ultimate beauty survival guide, making sure to include melt-proof makeup, burn proof SPF, and self tanner that won’t make you appear “Lindsay Lohan Orange ,” of course.

Urban Decay NAKED Skin Ultra Definition Powder Foundation
Introducing a long-lasting powder foundation that delivers amazing coverage and works wet AND dry. It contains an advanced formula that feels creamy to the touch and lasts eight hours, providing weightless, buildable coverage with a luminous, demi-matte finish. While traditional powder foundations can be dry and look dusty or cake-y on the skin, this powder foundation always blends beautifully and wears comfortably while diffusing light to blur fine lines and wrinkles, making you look professionally retouched. The 14 meticulously calibrated shades, which cater to cool, neutral and warm undertones, each come in a compact with a double-sided applicator sponge – one side to apply the foundation (wet or dry) while the other side features velvety flocking, to expertly buff and blend. HPP (Highlighter Performing Pigments) Technology provides rich color, long-lasting elements and the perfect level of coverage to even out your skin tone.

SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50
Inspired by the hit formulation of Physical Eye UV Defense SPF 50, this new, all-mineral SPF from the leaders in sun protection smoothes, protects, and mattifies even in humid conditions.
High-protection SPF can be challenging for combination and oily complexions, often creating a heavy look on the skin and clogging pores. Physical Matte UV Defense has a proven dual function against sun and shine, providing SPF 50 broadspectrum coverage in a weightless mousse texture. The aerated silica technology is able to absorb up to 15x its weight in oil, and the optimized smoothing base and translucent color spheres refine and perfect the appearance of skin tone and texture. The formula is noncomedogenic, and proven to maintain a matte finish even in hot, humid conditions.
Price: $34, Available at SkinCeuticals.com in May 2015
