Get Ready to Rock the Roots N Blues Festival in Style
As the summer sun begins to shine a little brighter and the days get longer, there’s only one thing on my mind: the Roots N Blues festival in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Oh, the excitement! The music, the food, the drinks, and of course, the fashion – I can hardly contain myself.
You see, I’ve been attending this festival for years, and I’ve learned a thing or two about how to not only survive but thrive in the festival atmosphere. And when it comes to looking utterly fabulous, well, I’d say I’ve got it down to a science. From the perfect festival hairstyles to the most show-stopping makeup looks, I’m here to share all my secrets so you can be the best-dressed and most confident festival-goer around.
Hairstyles to Rock the Roots N Blues Stage
Let’s start with the hair, shall we? After all, a good hair day can make or break your entire festival look. And trust me, you want to be looking your absolute best when you’re dancing the night away to the sweet sounds of blues, rock, and folk music.
The Messy Bun
Now, I know what you’re thinking – a messy bun? How original. But hear me out, my friend. The messy bun is the ultimate festival hairstyle for a reason. It’s effortless, it’s cool, and it keeps your hair out of your face so you can groove to the music without a single stray strand in your eyes.
The key to nailing the perfect messy bun is to start with a bit of texture. Skip the conditioner in the shower and let your hair air-dry for that natural, lived-in look. Then, simply gather your hair into a high ponytail and twist it into a messy, imperfect bun. Secure it with a few Bobby pins, and voila – you’re ready to rock.
Braids Galore
Another festival hair MVP? Braids, braids, and more braids. Whether you opt for a single, statement-making braid or a whole head of intricate, woven styles, braids are the perfect way to keep your hair out of your face and looking oh-so-boho-chic.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try your hand at some Dutch braids or even a Halo braid for a truly show-stopping festival look. And don’t be afraid to get creative with accessories, like colorful ribbons or beads woven into your braids. The more unique, the better!
Flower Crowns
No Roots N Blues festival look is complete without a flower crown, am I right? These whimsical headpieces are the ultimate festival fashion statement, and they’re surprisingly easy to pull off.
The key is to choose a flower crown that complements your personal style. If you’re more of a bohemian babe, go for a wild, free-flowing crown made with delicate, colorful blooms. For a more ethereal, romantic vibe, opt for a crown of dainty white flowers. And if you’re feeling sassy, why not try a crown made with bold, statement-making flowers like sunflowers or peonies?
Makeup Fit for the Festival Stage
Now that we’ve got the hair sorted, let’s talk about the other essential element of any festival look: the makeup. And let me tell you, when it comes to festival makeup, the more vibrant, the better.
Glitter Galore
There’s something about a little (or a lot of) glitter that just screams “festival chic.” And trust me, you’ll want to embrace your inner disco ball when you’re dancing the night away under the twinkling festival lights.
Whether you opt for a bold, all-over glitter look or just a subtle shimmer on your eyelids, glitter is the ultimate way to make your festival makeup stand out. Just be sure to use a high-quality, long-wearing glitter product to keep your sparkle looking fresh all night long.
Colorful Eye Looks
Speaking of eye-catching makeup, let’s talk about those eye looks. At a festival like Roots N Blues, where the music and the fashion are the stars of the show, you’ll want to make your peepers pop with bold, vibrant eyeshadow shades.
Think warm, earthy tones like burnt oranges and deep reds for a sultry, rock-and-roll vibe. Or go for a more whimsical, boho-inspired look with shimmery pastels and pops of neon. The key is to have fun and experiment with different color combinations until you find a look that makes you feel like the ultimate festival goddess.
Glowy, Dewy Skin
Of course, no festival makeup look is complete without that signature glowy, dewy skin. After all, you’ll be dancing up a storm and soaking up the summer sun, so you’ll want a complexion that can keep up with your high-energy antics.
Start with a hydrating, luminous primer to give your skin a healthy, radiant base. Then, reach for a lightweight, buildable foundation that will let your natural glow shine through. Top it all off with a dusting of highlighter on the high points of your face, and you’ll be looking like a true festival queen.
Putting It All Together
Now that you’ve got all the insider tips and tricks for creating the ultimate Roots N Blues festival look, it’s time to put it all together and get ready to rock the stage.
The Final Look
Imagine it: you’ve got your perfectly messy bun or your intricate braids, your glittery, colorful eyes, and your sun-kissed, dewy complexion. You’re feeling confident, you’re feeling beautiful, and you’re ready to dance the night away to the sweet sounds of blues, rock, and folk music.
As you strut your stuff through the festival grounds, let your unique, festival-inspired look be a reflection of your vibrant, carefree spirit. After all, that’s what the Roots N Blues festival is all about – embracing your true self and letting the music and the energy of the event guide your every move.
Confidence is Key
And remember, my friends, the most important accessory you can wear to any festival is confidence. When you feel good, you’ll look good – it’s as simple as that. So, own your festival look, dance like no one’s watching, and let your inner festival goddess shine bright.
I’ll be the one cheering you on from the sidelines, rocking my own fabulous festival hair and makeup, of course. See you at Roots N Blues!
