How to Get a Coachella-Worthy Beauty Look (Without Heading to the Desert)

In just a few short days, our timelines will be flooded with photos of festival-goers flaunting their best duds at Coachella. And though it seems as though everyone will be at the biggest event of music festival season (Ellie Goulding! Alessia Cara! Sia!), many of us will be home living vicariously through those dancing their hearts out and soaking up some sun in Indio, California. Luckily, beauty brands make it easy to channel a Coachella-worthy look wherever you are with new sand-colored shadows, desert-inspired bronzers, and cactus-infused serums. Here, a roundup of our favorite products for those looking to achieve that festival look without stepping foot into the desert.

Though those at Coachella won't likely see a family of camels strutting through the valley, look to the desert's mascot for a source of nourishment and hydration for your face. Camel's milk and Moroccan saffron are known to brighten dull skin tones while argan oil and aloe work to keep skin moist and supple.
