Beyoncé may be the most hotly anticipated headliner at the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, but the reigning beauty queen of the desert will be this year’s Sephora tent. The retail giant is setting up shop in Indio, California, as the official Coachella beauty partner and bringing along some of its favorite brands to create looks that will basically turn you into Vanessa Hudgens.
