19 Reasons Why San Francisco Is For The Beauty-Obsessed

San Francisco is a city known for fog, start-ups, and Mia Thermopolis, the Princess of Genovia. It may not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of beauty meccas, but think again. When it comes to playful makeup and sophisticated edge, don't sleep on San Francisco. We saw a spectacular array of beauty looks while on the grounds at Outside Lands this year. From tasteful glitter to covetable mascara techniques, Outside Lands' festival-goers truly brought their beauty A game. This is exactly what we came for.

Check out our favorite moments in our exclusive gallery, presented by Rimmel London, below.
