Keeping a freshly made-up face on under the beating sun of Coachella is a tricky feat. Those who manage to do so are truly magicians from a sweat-less planet and can probably rock a white T-shirt without fear of perspiring through it. (Who are you, and how do you do this?!)
This year's crowd went all out with metallics and nuanced takes on everyday classics. Some people modified the classic cat eye with iridescent eyeliner and an exaggerated flick, others wrapped up their hair in ways unimaginable, and the rest kept it simple, letting their natural glow shine. If fortune favors the bold, these humans are wonderfully fortunate.
