Festival season might temporarily be on hold, but its beauty influence lives on in the red carpet glam of Vanessa Hudgens.

If you find yourself missing the grounds of Indio this year, or you've already start planning your future festival wardrobe, you might want to take a cue from some of Hudgen's best beauty moments.
