Backstage at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2015, it’s organised chaos.
The Weekly’s beauty director, Sheree Mutton, joined the models, makeup artists and hair stylists to find out how to get that radiant and flawless glow you see on the runway.
Show: Watson X Watson
Make-up: Victoria Curtis for Curtis Collection: “I am referring to the Watson X Watson makeup look, as ‘day fresh glow’. It combines dewy see-through skin, the right balance of bronze and highlight, and is complimented by subtle coral accents on the cheeks and lips. It’s absolutely wearable, and universally flattering,” says Victoria. “We’ve gone for a luminous, dewy finish that looks really fresh on everybody’s skin”.

Hair: Philip Barwick for Redken: “The loose textured waves I created for the Watson X Watson show exude effortless confidence,” says Philip.

Show: Bec & Bridge
Hair: Alan White for KMS California: “The hair of the models was keep flat at the crown, but a soft wave was created for some movement. Very natural.”

Make-up: Nicole Thompson for M.A.C: The look makeup artist, Nicole Thompson, went for was “Amazonian girls with balmy, bronzed skin”. “It’s all about the tan, not too glitz and glam,” she says.
Tan: Michael Brown for St. Tropez: “Think shimmer, gloss and iridescence. We created gorgeous, warm and healthy skin that is perfect for the brand’s first foray into swimwear,” says Michael.
Show: Daniel Avakian
Make-up: Lara Srokowski for Lancome: “Soft contouring to accentuate the cheekbones and a light dusting of rose on the cheek proper gave the models a beautiful finish. A nude lip was offset by strong and defined eyebrows and long upper lashes.”

Hair: Jon Pulitano for Redken: “A dishevelled ponytail was the look for Daniel Avakian’s show. The slightly messy hairstyle gave the models a natural look.”
Show: Maticevski
Make-up: Nigel Stanislaus for Maybelline New York: “Nigel says the look for the Maticevski show is “timeless make-up”.
“Every face is customised based on the skin texture, the features and the shape of the face,” he says. The models had a caramel colour on the cheeks and creamy foundation to create a porcelain face.

Hair: Jayne Wild for GHD: “The hair for Maticevski was minimalistic and elegant with simple buns.”
