Festival season has hit so here's how to stay sitting pretty

The pictures of the weekend's festivities have landed and one thing is clear: from Millie Mackintosh at Isle of Wight to Daisy Lowe at the Hackney Weekend, festival season has hit.

But if the closest you usually get to a mud bath is at the spa, a weekend without mirrors, showers and basic necessities (such as ghds) may leave you quaking in your Hunters. So here’s how to fake low maintenance...

Hint: preparation is key.

Dare to bare. Well, almost. The no make-up look is hot this season, so ditch the mascara and go for Lash Perfect Lash extensions instead. They’re totally smudge-proof and won’t end up stuck to your tent by morning. Starting at £60, they're well worth the investment.

Cheat a sleek ‘do with the latest hair type-specific Kerastraight protein treatment (from £150) – it’ll fight the frizz without so much as a plug socket.

Avoid shower queue misery with Motif (from £30), the latest lazer hair removal treatment – painless, permanent, and it comes with an Olympic seal of approval (they’ll be keeping our synchronized swimmers fuzz-free for the games).

Don’t let a chip get in the way of a good party. Jessica’s latest shades have arrived in long-lasting GELeration formula (three from each collection now joins their expanding gels range). Call 0845 217 1360 to find your nearest salon.

Go forth and party!
