Terry Barber - Director of Make-up Artistry at M.A.C Cosmetics - has
provided some beauty rules for festival chic this summer:

"Let's face it - this is a festival, not a red carpet, so go for low
maintenance, stay on all day (and night!) rock and roll chic. Choose the
perfect blend of glamour and grunge - take inspiration from the queen of
festival style, Miss Kate Moss.

Here are a few must haves...For waterproof eyes - this is the
British Isles not the Bahamas -M.A.C Splashproof Lash Mascara and M.A.C
Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved are your essentials. My tip is - go classic
black but with a new wave smudge and smoke - think panda NOT perfect. Channel
your inner Debbie Harry and smear the lid with M.A.C Paintpot in Blackground
for a bit of added gun metal glamour.

M.A.C Wipes solve the impossibility of multi step skincare -
they're a 'roughing it' must have. Use on eyes, face, neck and any part of
the body you choose! M.A.C's iconic Strobe Cream - the cheat's sleep - gives
you an instant 'spa glow'. Use M.A.C's SPF 15 Tinted Lip Conditioners for
super well conditioned lips and a great alternative to lip colour for a low
key lip against that mosh pit black eye."

cosmetics and continuously and actively liaises with the worlds of music,
film, television and theatre. The M.A.C Pro Team can be found on-set at photo
