Body Crayons Are The New Festival Paint

Festival season is in full swing, and we’re doing things a bit differently this year.

As a shift from the colorful, over-the-top bright festival looks we’re used to, this year we’re going for something a little cooler, simpler, and more subdued. We have these awesome colored Face Crayons on our site that are specifically here for festival season — but we love using them all over the rest of the body, too. They’re a lot less messy than typical festival paint (even though of course we don’t mind getting messy for festivals), but the main reason we love them is that they allow you to form cleaner lines, making it way easier to create anything you can dream up.

We especially love using black, white, and metallics to create cool yet simple designs on the hand, down the back, around the wrist, over the eyes, and on the upper arm. Maybe we’ll add in a pop of color here and there. Jana and I took an afternoon to experiment with these babies, and were quite pleased with the results. Here’s some inspiration for adorning your body with these incredible crayons this festival season!

I also love using liquid eyeliner in a variety of colors. It stays in place longer and you can achieve a richer color. Right now I am drawn to Lush’s Emotional Brilliance makeup line. Try their gold liquid eyeliner called Fantasy :)

Ooo good tip Hannah – about the liquid eyeliner. I have some waterproof liquid eyeliner that would be perfect. I rarely use it so this would be a good purpose for it.

Hey, So I am a high school student who reads this blog religously. I love free people so much and my dream is to one day work for the headquarters or blog or just create part of the amazing brand. Do you have any tips of what you did or what I can do while I am still young? Have you ever thought of having a young blogger or something like that? Thank you so much and I love your work Bridgette/ Free people
