Be a star! Green eyeliner is a must-have this season, and this look proves that festival makeup can be bold, playful, and totally fresh. When drama, colour, and courage come together, the result is makeup that simply cannot be overlooked.

Black eyeliner above your eyelashes for drama, green under your eyebrows for a wow effect, and emerald on your lower eyelid as the cherry on the cake. This isn't a look for introverts. If you want to shine brighter than the headliner at a music festival, this look is for you. It's bold, it's playful, and with a little skill, you can do it with one hand (keep your other hand free to hold your drink). So get your brushes ready, open your wildest palette, and join us in transforming yourself into the perfect goddess of beats.

Start with a smooth skin tone, reach for foundation or tinted moisturiser and definitely don't forget an extra dose of SPF.

Step 1

Add a healthy glow and radiance to your cheeks with Max Factor Miracle Pure blusher in radiant rose shade.

Step 2

Use the black MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil to darken the tear trough of your eyes and the line under your lower eyelashes.

Step 3

Trace the black eye base on your lower eyelid with a MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil in hunter green shade and extend the line outward for a cat-eye effect.

Step 4

Draw a sharp line above the upper eyelashes using NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink. Don't be afraid to extend it into a sharp peak.

Step 5

Once again, take the MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil in hunter green shade and start the line about 1 cm above the inner corner of your eye, drawing it above the crease. Finish the line approximately above the outer corner.

Step 6

Eyelashes! Make them stand out with a few strokes of MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Lash Sensational Sky High mascara.

Step 7

Outline your lips with essence 8h Matte Comfort lip liner. Feel free to shade them a little.

Step 8

Then fill them in with Catrice Glossing Glow tinted lip oil.

This look will keep you dancing until the early hours, so enjoy it to the fullest! And if you're not sure how to do it, check out our video!
