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
