Everything You Need to Survive Coachella Beautifully

The countdown to Coachella has begun! Don't be a procrastinator, and make sure you're totally prepared with everything you need to look flawless for Indio Valley (and for the Facebook photos to follow). Your ultimate music festival beauty packing list awaits!

  • A Chic Baseball Cap: Hats: there's no better way to have it made in your own personal shade. To keep cool and protected, you'll probably want a lightweight hat to keep your hair color from fading in the sun and offer your face extra coverage from the California sunshine. We love ASOS's plain baseball cap ($19), because its big enough to give you a nice shadow but not so expansive that other people won't be able to see around you.

  • Nailed Kit Festival Decals in Neon: Even if you don't have the time or funds to get a full-on gel Coachella nail art look, you can easily do it at home, thanks to Nailed Kit's Festival Decals in Neon ($8). These simple stickers can be adhered to your manicure with clear nail polish for an instantly festive look. Try the neons over white nail polish to make them pop.

  • Deodorant Wipes: Keeping yourself fresh all day in the sun can be a challenge, but with La Fresh Deodorant Wipes ($50 for 200), which are tiny and biodegradable, you'll always be good to go.

  • Estée Lauder Double Wear All Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup: You won't want to fuss with foundation out in the desert, but you may still want a bit of coverage, and a BB Cream will do just that while also offering skin care benefits and SPF. We like Estée Lauder's Double Wear All Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($38) since it contains pearlized particles to give you a natural glow and hyaluronic acid to moisturize.

  • Rodial Super Acids X-treme Hangover Mask: So you partied a little too hard during the headliner - we get it. You're still going to want to get up and go back to the festival the next day, so hit the refresh button with Rodial Super Acids X-treme Hangover Mask ($56). The facial savior eliminates dead skin cells, retains hydration, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and boosts radiance. There's only so much coconut water and Advil can do!

  • Multipurpose Wipes: Just because you're out in the sun having a blast doesn't mean you can skimp on your skin care regimen. Luckily, Olay Fresh Effects (S'Wipe Out!) cloths ($5) not only lift away dirt without clogging your pores, but they're also pro at removing makeup.

  • Clinique After Sun Rescue Balm With Aloe: We know you plan on slathering your body and face with sunscreen - still, we know sometimes burns happen. Clinique's After Sun Rescue Balm With Aloe ($23) will be the item you don't want to make room for in your suitcase but will be so happy you did. It helps soothe burns so you can wear your backpack or denim jacket without feeling like it's stinging your scaling skin.

  • Free People Hand-Painted Wooden Brush: Even if you're planning on going full-on hippie by not washing your hair for three days, you'll still need to brush it at least once a day to get out knots, remove fallen strands, and distribute natural oils to your ends. We love that this boho brush ($38) fits with the festival spirit.

  • Trusty Deodorant: It's a smelly, smelly world out there: hot desert air, huge crowds, and plenty of dancing make for an extremely fragrant festival experience. If you're not a fan of extrastrength antiperspirant, then a deodorant that helps keep you dry and smelling nice, like LaVanilla's excellent grapefruit- and vanilla-scented The Healthy Deodorant ($14), is a wonderful thing to keep handy.
