BOLD LINER AT ALICE MCCALL

The look for this year’s Alice McCall muse? Vintage 40’s vixen: think cool girl hair twists soft skin and exaggerated cat eyes, masterfully applied with pin-up precision. To achieve the look, MAC maven Nicole Thompson used the brand’s Fluidline eyeliner in Blacktrack to first outline eye and wing shape, before layering Mac’s Boot Black liquid liner for maximum impact.

SOMETHING BLUE AT HANSEN & GRETEL

“The look is very romantic, fresh and dewy. Today is all about celebrating the female form and enhancing natural skin tones. We’re also going quite bold with some of the models’ [eyelids], yet keeping the overall look romantic.” To ensure models’ complexions were suitably flawless, stylists applied Clinique’s Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer before accenting eyes with liner, mascara and/or stick shadow, in such hues as turquoise blue.

GLASSY EYED AT KARLA SPETIC

“Today’s makeup look was inspired by stained glass windows,” said Makeup Director Mikele Simone. “I wanted to achieve that stained glass finish by creating translucency throughout all features.” Drawing cues from the show’s beachside backdrop (and Bondi’s vibrant sunsets) eyes and cheeks were softly warmed with a blush of coral. To complete the look, eyes were highlighted with a dab of gloss artfully applied to inner eye corners.

FULL BROWS & FRECKLES AT DEADLY PONIES

MAC-up artist extraordinaire Pinkii created a soft, natural and beautifully freckled look for each of the show’s models; ‘The look for today is shiny, happy, healthy – cult. We want the models to look like characters from movie – the boys and girls need to look like they have been out in the sun in all summer.” Brows were accentuated, cheeks flushed and faux freckles added for an air of whimsy.

SEEING STARS AT LEO & LIN

Just as frocks were emblazoned with moon embellishments, so too were model’s faces dusted with a touch of intergalactic sparkle. Skin was kept, fresh natural and uber soft, with under eyes highlighted with silver glitter and star sequins. Napoleon at it’s sparkliest..

GRAPHIC EYESHADOW AT ROMANCE WAS BORN

It wouldn’t be a Romance was Born show without a little drama, and Makeup Director Peter Beard was the man tasked with curating a series of dramatic makeup looks to fit the show’s out-of-this-world air. From sequin stars to pink mascara, makeup was characteristically bold, beautiful and uber romantic. We love this detailed graphic eyeshadow that mirrored the collection’s fabric prints.

FLUSHED CHEEKS AT CLIENT LIAISON

Client Liaison’s debut MBFWA offering was every bit the Australiana party, so it should come as no surprise that the makeup followed suit. Channeling Aussie sunset vibes and war, sunburnt terrains, the look heroed a bold, terracotta  blush (alternated across model’s cheeks and eyes) that was illuminated with gold highlighter for extra dimension.

FRESH SKIN & EMBELLISHMENTS AT CAMILLA

It’s no secret the Japanese are renowned for their complexions, and in keeping with this year’s oriental aesthetic, skin was suitably fresh and flawless, with utilitarian embellishments to complete the look. Skin was first primed with Shiseido’s Essential Energy Gel Cream, before which the brand’s Synchro Tinted Gel Cream was applied to create an even base. Pre cut sheets of gold and silver glitter were gently affixed to models’ faces for a luxe, samurai feel.
