It is hot. It is sweaty. There is colored powder flying around. Listen to Sephora pro Myiesha Sewell's tips for staying flawless.

Repeat After Us: Skip the Real Tan

We all know that tans and burns are bad and that SPF is awesome, right? Which isn't to say we all want to be pale all the time. So: "Try an oil-free self-tanning formula like Sephora Collection Perfection Mist Airbrush Bronzer, $28," Sewell says. "The tint will subtly hide imperfections and you won't don't have to worry about it melting off in the heat!"

Go Waterproof

"Waterproof makeup will extend your look over a long, hot festival day, but priming is key! I love the Kat Von D Lock-It Featherweight Primer, $32—it's super lightweight and leaves a long-lasting impact," she says.

Don't Just Stick on Your Temporary Tattoo—*Set* It

"Temporary tattoos come off easily when exposed to moisture—try setting with a translucent powder to prolong wear," says Sewell. Try Make Up Forever HD Microfinish Powder, $34.

Neon Nails = Never Get Lost in the Crowd

Sewell explains: "Neon nails can be fun to help you stand out at nighttime shows. FORMULA X Neon Base Coat, $11, instantly makes any polish neon, so when you're throwing your hands up they'll be eye-catching."

Choose a Do-It-All

"Because you'll be out in the sun, slather on a BB or CC cream for added skincare benefits with SPF that a tinted moisturizer can sometimes lack. I like the Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45, $39," Sewell says.
