Christmas party beauty tips

Happy to ditch their hospital scrubs for party frocks, Jacinta Stapleton and Tammy MacIntosh joined their All Saints co-stars at one of Sydney Harbour’s most glamorous mansions for a casual-but-chic feast.

Celebrity make-up artist Chris Coonrod and award-winning hairdresser David Keough created our All Saints looks for the party season. Follow their step-by-step instructions on how you can copy Jacinta and Tammy’s “star” looks.

Get Jacinta’s look

Make-up: We chose a pale foundation to match Jacinta’s skin tone. Black eyeliner was applied close to lashes, accentuated at the outer corner of her eye. A soft gold loose powder eyeshadow was swept over the entire eye area, as her ’60s-style look means it’s all about the eyeliner. To match her short black hair and fair skin, a cherry-red lipstick was applied and a reddish-toned blush swept onto the apples of her cheeks.

Chris’s tips:

Always curl lashes before applying mascara. When applying eyeliner, begin at the inner corner of the eye, carry the liner to the edge of the eye then wing it up slightly to elongate the eye. I also added individual eyelashes onto the corners of the eyes to accentuate her look. Blot and then re-apply lipstick for long-lasting wear. I also used a lip liner first to prevent bleeding.

Hair: David defined Jacinta’s haircut by applying a volumiser to lift the shorter layers at the back for height, but kept the front looking natural and smooth. He then blow-dried it down with a round brush and finished with a light shine serum.

Get Tammy’s look

Make-up: A golden beige foundation was mixed with a few drops of liquid bronzer and applied with a damp make-up sponge. Lashes were curled and individual lashes applied to the outer corners of eyes. A smoky eye was created using a metallic gold cream on the eyelid first, with a shimmery brown powder brushed over the top. As the cream is gold and the powder brown, the gold seeps through. A soft pink lip gloss was brushed onto lips and an orange cream blush swept over the cheekbones.

Chris’s tips:

On a hot summer’s day try to avoid cream blushes as they tend to run or sink into the skin. Always set it with a powder brush for staying power.

Hair: A volumiser was applied from the roots to the ends to thicken Tammy’s fine hair and lift the roots. The hair was blow-dried with different-sized brushes to draw attention to her layers and highlights. The style was finished with hairspray and then a frizz cream applied to make it look fuller.
