In this past year, I've been attending raves and EDM type events. But my issue is my hair and makeup. Everyone goes with their hair down cause that's what looks cutest, but that's the worse due to fizziness, sweat, poofiness, etc. so is their any advice for really cute updos that won't look too wild and will match most outfits?

And the second part would be the makeup. I know it looks amazing to do designs in eyeshadows and drawings, but that fades in like three seconds of being at the event. Is their any recommendation for foundation primers and more importantly, eye shadow primers? And last but not least, would it be safe to glue on rhinestones and such near the eye area! Please help!! Xoxo

Don't know much about hair. But too faced, bare minerals and gosh all make good face primers in my opinion. Urban decay eyeshadow primer is amazing. And use waterproof as much as you can! Too faced has a lovely waterproof eyeliner you could try =] and I think rhinestones would be fine to glue on!

Thanks a lot! I'm going to look into that. I basically never use foundation, only to cover up pimple marks and under eyes, but should I use a foundation or powder or both? And would that be fine to use with the primers?

I'd look into a tinted moisturizer or bb cream so when your sweating it doesn't look like you're melting haha. And as long as you use a non toxic glue for the rhinestones, I think it will be fine :)

Lol thanks, and yeah the rhinestones is the least part it's just that they slide off your face and I want to make sure they stay cause that's what looks prettiest in the end. And yeah, that's my biggest concern, the sweat vs. the concealer, thanks so much! @kellym.

I usually go with my hair down and curled it.
One time I went and I teased it and curled it and pinned glittery butterflies on the side.
When I did straighten it I put frizz control in it and hair sprayed it. (:
For make up I don't put a lot on when I go cuz I just sweat it off lol. But I do just put a powder some glitter eyeshadow and some winged liner with a little mascara.
This is me and my baby at an insomniac event. If you can see lol.

I've curled it once for an indoor warehouse venue and it wasn't so bad. I usually straight iron it though and put on some bandana or headband because I know it's going to go straight up in a ponytail! Lol and yeah I usually wear the basic makeup, but now I'm realizing that I need to go with something lighter on my face but make sure I have sweat prevention. This was me going to Ultra last weekend.

I would say a face primer and then powder or you could just use some concealer to hide spots. Primer is fine to use with anything! And you could use eyelash glue to hold on the rhinestones?

You can wave your hair. I've done it a few times and it stays pretty well! and roll on glitter is good to;)
