8 times Cara Delevingne inspired our festival beauty

Glastonbury, Burning Man, Coachella – you name the music festival, and Cara Delevingne was there, absolutely rocking it. She’s the queen of casual yet stylish ensembles, and her beauty game is always on-trend without trying too hard.

So, if you’re looking for festival hair and make-up inspo, she’s your girl. Whether you’re heading to Falls Festival, Field Day or Laneway, here’s how to nail Cara’s best looks:


#1 Yellow liner

Flower crowns are a festival favourite, and picking a coloured eyeliner to match will really make your eyes stand out. When using a light colour such as yellow, the trick is to also apply a really thin black liner close to the lashline – it adds definition and helps the bright colour to pop. Try: Rimmel London Scandaleyes Precision Micro Eye Liner.

#2 Coloured braids

Braids are a great hairstyle to master before a festival: they’re moshpit-proof and work well in dirty hair. Weave in some coloured extensions to channel Cara’s look at Burning Man. 

#3 Metallic teal eyes + crimped hair

Another great thing about braids? If you sleep in them overnight, you can rock crimped hair the next day. To complete your 80s-inspired look, apply Rimmel London Magnif’Eyes Double Ended Shadow & Liner in Dark Side of Blue across your lids. The stick design makes application fool-proof, even if you’re crouched over in a tent.

#4 Neutral smoky eye with bold lashes

A neutral smoky eye is easy to do when you’re rushing to get to an act, and it’s forgiving if you make a mistake. Apply a nude base colour first, and then work darker browns into the crease and outer corner of your eye. Use a rich, pigmented mascara to complete the festival make-up look.

Try: Rimmel London Scandal’Eyes Reloaded Mascara

#5 Killer Brows

Keep your make-up simple yet #onpoint by sporting a bold brow and nude lip with a natural base.

#6 Flicked liner

There’s a reason winged liner will always be on trend: it looks SO good. Festivals are the perfect opportunity to play around with winged looks, but just make sure the liner you use is long-lasting to avoid smudging throughout the day. (Because if you haven’t sweated a little while dancing, have you really lived it up at a festival?)

Try: Rimmel London ScandalEyes Reloaded Thick & Thin Liner

#7 Baby Spice buns

Spice Girls forever! To copy Cara’s look, section your hair, comb upwards and tie into two pigtails. Then, wrap each pigtail around the hair ties and pin into place so you are left with buns. Leave two strands loose at the front for real Baby Spice vibes. 

#8 Fedora and a smoky eye

Hats are a no-brainer for festivals. They’ll protect your face from the sun and hide your greasy roots. Pair yours with a dark smoky eye for a grungy look that will actually look better if your application is imperfect. Lazy girls, unite!

A festival favourite…

No matter which festival look you channel, make sure it includes a mascara that will outlast a day of dancing in the heat. Try Rimmel Scandal’Eyes Reloaded Mascara – it has all the lasting power (up to 24Hrs), volume and intense black colour you need, but it’s easy to remove, which is ideal when you’re dealing with festival facilities.

*Rimmel is the official make up partner for Falls Festival 2016, be sure the swing past the Rimmel Room in Lorne if you’re attending!  Are you heading to a festival this summer? Which of Cara’s looks is your favourite?
