IF you're heading to Strathallan this weekend for T in the Park or have other festival dates in your diary over the summer, don't leave home without these essential beauty supplies.

As well as the obvious basics, such as dry shampoo and wet wipes, pack a few well-planned items and you'll be looking great from sunrise to sunset.

Slick on a pop of eye colour with Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick, £21. It glides on and promises to stay in place for up to eight hours with no creasing or fading. Try Vanilla to make eyes look bright and awake or shimmery Iced Blue for festival fun.

Create a fresh base with Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF35, £29. Ideal for normal to oily skin the buildable formula is a hybrid of skincare and makeup, offering a bit more coverage than a tinted moisturiser.

Keep Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge, £19, handy all day to touch up colour on cheeks and lips. The sheer stain is all you need for a rosy glow.

The latest addition to Mac's hugely successful Pro Longwear range is the Mac Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation, £25.50. In a choice of 16 shades, use it as a foundation or a concealer.

It offers medium to full coverage and has staying power for up to 16 hours. That means it won't budge in the rain if the heavens open at Strathallan this weekend.

If you want to add some shimmer to your festival look, try Mac Dazzleshadow, £16, in Feel the Fever, a deep blue purple with pink sparkles, and finish with a line of Mac Superslick Liquid Eyeliner, £ 18, in Nocturnal, a bright silver pearl.

When it comes to hair, this season's dishevelled look is perfect if you want to channel festival chic. Use Aveda Retexturizing Gel, £17.50, to work with your hair's natural kinks and waves and smooth Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil, £19.50, into the ends and you're ready to go.

A great buy is the Emma Lomax Festival SOS Kit, £26 from www.emmalomax.com. Inside the handy waterproof bag with a cute embroidered ice-cream design are festival essentials to get you through the weekend, including a poncho to keep out the rain, Batiste dry shampoo, ear plugs, hairbrush, Kirby grips and even a glow stick.
