Spring is here, and with April in full swing, it’s officially festival season—and the perfect time to reset your beauty and wellness game plan. Whether you’re prepping for beach days, travel, or just ready for a full glow-up, this is your moment to step into your best self by summer. Here with the must-have upgrades to get you there is celebrity makeup artist and beauty expert Mickey Williams.
First off, it’s not just spring—it’s April, which is Earth Month. I always like to spotlight one brand that truly excels in eco-friendliness and sustainability, while still delivering fabulous beauty results. Chosen as our Earth Month featured brand, Mad Hippie goes beyond traditional beauty by championing a deeper mission rooted in health, confidence, community, and global impact. Their commitment to sustainability is reflected in initiatives like sugarcane bioresin packaging, refillable products, and partnerships with Pact to reduce beauty waste, along with donating $1 from every sale to conservation and poverty-focused nonprofits—making them a standout for delivering both results-driven beauty and meaningful environmental change.

Heading into festival season? Don’t forget your SPF. We’re obsessed with this new gel formula from Neutrogena—it’s lightweight, easy to reapply, and perfect under makeup or over it, even on a sweaty Florida day.

Fragrance-free and powered with Vitamin E, this SPF delivers broad-spectrum protection for all skin types and tones, with up to 80 minutes of water resistance.
Another travel-friendly brand that just launched some of the best overnight masks I’ve seen is Purdori. These wake you up looking snatched and radiant—perfect for any skin reset, even when you need results by the next morning after a long festival day.
