Attending Burgerama IV—one of the many music showcases Burger Records throws each year—was just like going to any other big music festival. Except, on like, Valium. What I mean by that is simple: It was really chill. Held at the Observatory in Orange County, California, the two-day fest was an undeniable vortex of youthful energy bouncing all over the place. It reeked of sunscreen, body odor, marijuana, and beer; and it was magical. During the weekend I spent there, I browsed the sea of teenyboppers and 20-somethings for interesting-looking girls to photograph (I understand that sounds creepy, but my intentions were pure), and accidentally documented a street-style beauty photo diary without fully realizing what I was doing. What I learned was: Ombré-colored roots, glossy red lips, and glitter under the eyes make for some pretty killer accents—and we're taking note.
