Country singer Lanie Gardner’s festival beauty must-haves are the perfect mix of affordable and luxe makeup and hair favorites. Not only are her choices perfect for performing under stage lights, they’ll also work for your festival glam and any events you have coming up where you want your hair and makeup look to last all day.
E! caught up with the star to talk skin prep, long-lasting makeup, and the must-have hair tool she swears by ahead of taking the stage at Country Thunder in Arizona. Spoiler alert: You’re going to want everything.
When it comes to festival glam, “it’s all about the skin, baby,” the “Love in Letting Go” singer said. “Glow Recipe niacinamide and moisturizer plus COSRX Snail 96 Mucin make a great prep for glowy, summer makeup.”
“If I need it, Haus Labs foundation and concealer go great over that.” she said.

Have oily skin or might be sweating it out to your favorite song during the festival? “Laura Mercier setting powder does great for the T-zone and on your eyelids before eye-shadow so you don’t get creasing,” she explained.
“Then Charlotte Tilbury setting spray is my ride or die. Spray it. Lightly tap it in with a beauty blender to lock it. You ain’t movin’, honey.”
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Longwear Setting Powder
A lightweight, easy-to-apply loose powder that blends effortlessly to set makeup for up to 16 hours of wear and 24-hour shine control that is best for oily to normal skin types.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Hydrating & Waterproof Setting Spray
This lightweight, waterproof setting spray is designed to prime and set your makeup for up to 16 hours without melting, fading, or settling into fine lines.
Lanie’s beauty essential for makeup touch-ups? “A Beautyblender is a must to blend any creasing or patching; depending on how hot and humid it is outside,” she revealed.
Beautyblender Original Pink Beauty Blender Makeup Sponge
The aqua-activated sponge grows to about twice its size when wet, and absorbs minimal product so your formula lands on your complexion and not your sponge.
The secret to this country star’s hair is a hot tool that’s currently on sale at Sephora. “I love my amika crimper hair tool! I bring her everywhere,” she raved.
“I have naturally curly hair, so some Garnier hair oil and Batiste Dark Brown dry shampoo go a long way when keeping a style fresh in the heat,” she finished.
