An auditory extravaganza. Instagram fodder. The epicentre of pop culture. Or, perhaps, most simply, Coachella. There are a multitude of ways to describe the venerated music festival that was established 25 years ago; a once underground music- and arts-centred revelry that spanned two weekends in November before its official migration to April in the year 2001—a decision that has persisted to the present day. On 12 April this year, audiophiles flocked to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, to listen to the likes of Lana Del Rey, No Doubt, Vampire Weekend, and more, all of whom were sporting sartorially-forward ensembles alongside a fully beat face to boot. The make-up looks, particularly, were something to behold at Coachella 2024. Think dramatically bejewelled lids and razor-sharp eyeliner; a culmination of Y2K sensibilities and festival-friendly flair that held up in the desert’s sweltering temperatures.
And that’s far from all. Spy our compendium of the most stunning beauty moments spotted at Coachella 2024, from Bretman Rock’s jaw-dropping braid and bun hair configuration to Sabrina Carpenter’s lit-from-within glow.

Gwen Stefani
More is more. In a playful homage to the eyebrow gem trend she started in the early aughts, Gwen Stefani showed up to the main stage rocking neon blue liner, a scattering of facial diamantés, and a standout red lip.
2 / 8
Bibi
Face gems are an integral part of music festival attire, so it comes as no surprise that Korean singer—and Coachella alum—Bibi is all for it. Baby braids and a hint of blush is all that is needed to complete the look.
3 / 8
Sabrina Carpenter
Talk about a stellar glow game. The singer-songwriter sports a blinding blush-and-highlighter combo while performing her new single, ‘Espresso’, on the main stage.

Bretman Rock
Baby braids, but better. The beauty realm’s biggest baddie elevates last year’s trending Coachella hair look by amalgamating the style with textured buns.
5 / 8
Suki Waterhouse
Suki Waterhouse is proof that you don’t have to bring out all the stops to turn heads. The singer’s dreamy pastel wash along her lids and lips stands out amidst a sea of typical Coachella fare comprising face jewellery and neon brights.

Peggy Gou
Functional but with flair. Peggy Gou’s intricate braid configuration is a masterpiece in its own right.
7 / 8
Megan Fox
It’s official: Megan Fox has earned her moniker of colour chameleon with the introduction of a new mane during Coachella. We’re talking waist-length turquoise strands that are a distinct departure from her bubblegum pink tresses that she was rocking just weeks ago.

Chloe Bailey
Nothing says theatrical flair quite like lower falsies. Chloe Bailey adds an intriguing twist to this monochromatic look with strategically placed strands that amps up the sultry factor.
