coachella beauty hack #1: avoid lines from glasses using subtl’s makeup travel sets

avoid sunglass lines using subtl beauty's travel makeup sets that can be customized to include the shine control pressed powder

when attending coachella (or any other music festival) with your subtl makeup travel sets, it’s important to check the weather. coachella valley, where the festival takes place, experiences temperatures that range from the mid-70s° to the mid-90s°. however, desert temperatures drop significantly at night with occasional gusts of wind, known as the “coachella winds.”

considering that coachella gets hot during the day, tiktokers have taken to the platform with their sweat-proof makeup hacks. one of our faves – the no sunglass line hack – is a game-changer, especially if you’ve experienced the pesky issue on the bridge of your nose. user @blueyedcai found the perfect way to keep your makeup in place when wearing glasses:

here is how to use subtl's makeup travel sets for @blueeyedcai’s coachella beauty hack:

  1. grab our shine control pressed powder and your stak brush bff (aka the best travel blush brush that’s also multi-use).
  2. dust some shine control pressed powder lightly onto your nose where your glasses will lay.
  3. using your favorite setting spray, spritz the glasses where they’ll sit on your nose.
  4. apply a thin layer of shine control pressed powder to the same area of the glasses that you used setting spray. 

coachella beauty hack #2: contour your physique using subtl’s makeup travel sets

contour your physique using subtl beauty's travel makeup sets that can be customized to include bronzerwhile not a new festival makeup trick, contouring your physique is one of the best and easiest options for those wanting to enhance their abdominal definition. similar to applying makeup, contouring your body can be seen as an art form of self-expression, like sculpting or carving. tiktok user @soudersam has this coachella beauty hack on lock, using just a few products:
