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:

"Your favourite festival 'survival kit' should be tailor made with all the iconic 'quick-fix' products you need to keep groomed whatever the conditions! It's not about wearing full on glamour - it should be much less try hard. Clean, dewy skin, sixties mod girl lashes, a combed up brow and plump stained lips. Light on the coverage and heavy on the cool!"

"Prep the skin with the brilliant M.A.C Prep and Prime Skin and add a bit of M.A.C Strobe Cream to the high points of the face for a bit of a 'techy' natural skin". 'Done' lashes are back this season. Apply some major layers to top and bottom lashes with the amazing M.A.C Studio Fix Lash Mascara. Finish the look by staining the lip with a lush layer of M.A.C Tinted Lip Conditioner. It's the return of the flower child!"
