Terry Barber - Director of Make-up Artistry at M.A.C
Cosmetics - has provided some beauty rules for festival chic this summer and
to make sure the VIP festival goers keep their makeup looking great come
rain or shine, M.A.C will be arming guests with Terry's festival makeup
essentials:

"As an alternative to reaching for your black eyeliner to create a
grunge-y festival look this summer - why not go for a cool retro- Woodstock
healthy but trippy statement!?! Start with some quick fix grooming
favourites - use M.A.C Wipes to remove face and eye make up (and mud!)
without water and spritz M.A.C's Fix+ all over! This will immediately
refresh tired dehydrated skin. The legendary M. A.C Strobe Cream is a
festival must have for a dewy luminous glow - apply all over the face. To
capture the retro look apply M.A.C Studio Moisture Tint SPF15 in Medium Dark
to stain the skin to a chic worn-in tan, add M.A.C Cream Colour Base in
Virgin Isle to create a sun-flushed cheek (even without sun!). Finish off
with a heavy duty layer of M.A.C Pro Lash Mascara and a slick of M.A.C
Gentle Coral Lip Conditioner for a totally 70's outdoorsy groomed chic.
Finally - don't leave your tent without a pack of M.A.C Blot Film! This will
take down any unsightly shine whilst you're in the mosh pit....instant
grooming in the harshest of environments!"

AND...makeup junkies - don't worry if you leave your beloved products at
home! M.A.C will be front of house in its inaugural retail site in the
festival main arena. Pop in to pick up Terry's must haves as above or get one
of our inimitable team of makeup artists to create your very own bespoke
festival makeup look! 30 minute makeup appointments can be booked on site
costing GBP15 redeemable against purchase. Now there's no excuse for you to
NOT stand out in the crowd! If you like what we've done at the fabulous
