As well as the usual beauty essentials (face wipes, dry shampoo), a few well-chosen items in your make-up bag can ensure your festival photographs don't instantly have you heading for the 'de-tag' button.
If you're not blessed with your own personal make-up artist, you can still bring glamour to the fields by ensuring hese festival make-up must-packs are in your travel cosmetics case. With festival season fast approaching, check out our selection of festival beauty must-haves...
