As July quickly approaches for another year, so does the annual Splendour in the Grass Festival. 2012 sees the infamous 3 day festival return to beautiful Byron Bay. From past experience, this means oddly hot during the day and absolutely freezing in the evening. This year the bill includes Jack White, Bloc Party, Smashing Pumkins and the Kooks - just to name a few.
As a seasoned Splendourer, I am going to share some of my best festival fashion, hair and make-up tips.
Firstly, Splendour fashion is always tricky as you think its going to be a typical Winters day, however ends up being 30 degrees. Try to wear something that you can layer later in the evening. Shorts, t-shirt and gumboots during the day, and then add tights, a long cardie or coat for when the sun goes down.
When applying make-up be sure to use a good quality primer to ensure your look stays fresh and radiant all day long. Keep it simple! You don't want to have eyeliner running down your face from how hot you got in the mosh pit. Don't forget sunscreen either, it might be Winter and look like its going to rain, but don't let that fool you! Protect your skin in all possible ways.
As you will be walking around all day, possibly jumping at some stages around sweaty people, make sure to use a good hair treatment before the festival. In the morning, hairspray will be your best friend to keep your hair holding form and volume. Some great festival hair and make-up:
Hope these tips help you out! Send me photos of your best festival get up.
Enjoy the long weekend and stay warm!
