Festival Fashion: The Rules
Do
* Splash out on quality wellies - hunters are actually much more comfy than cheaper versions
* Wear brightly coloured lipstick - try Bobbi Brown's Lip Colour in Mango
* Take a powder foundation compact with a mirror - Chanel's Mat Lumière powder can be reapplied day and night without caking
* Try dry shampoo - Bumble and Bumble's version absorbs grease and gives great, tousled "sleeping bag" hair
Don't
* Wear heels - you are in a field! How many farmers do you see in stilettos?
* Or fairy wings - get over it, you are a human, not a fairy
* Wear too many items from the Kate Moss for Topshop range - you will look like a clone
* Wear a cowboy hat - too Ayia Napa circa 1999, and they block people's view of the stage
* Take any maxidresses - ok, so they epitomise that wholeWoodstock hippie vibe, but they will trail along the ground, picking up any old chip forks along the way
