I love Melbourne Cup Race day. Absolutely adore it! The outfits! Fascinators! The horsies! Just the whole buzz about it!
This year I forgot to book the day off so I'm working BUT I'm still excited! We are having little sweeps at work and everything! So cute!
By far one of the things I most look forward to is the outfits and makeup and hair of all the socialites in the paper the next day!
Here are some of my looks for Race day!
When wearing a bright headpiece I would go for minimal eye makeup and a pop of colour on the lips. You don't want to look too heavy and remember.. Less is more! When it comes to eye shadow on race day anyway!
I'm wearing "please me" lip colour from mac. This is one of the most versatile lippies I have from mac. It's literally a must have!! For the eyes I just added my mac moon cake to my lids and near the tear duct to open my eyes up.
To finish I used my mineral skin finish powder. This really adds a nice shimmer finish and also locks all your makeup in.
(I will upload a tutorial later for this look :)
For my second look I stuck with the thought that "less is more". Usually I never ever think that less is more. It doesn't make sense. But when it comes to race day and you are mingling with good looking people all day and it's hot and a bit sweaty I do believe that LESS IS MORE!
I used Ardell lashes for this look. I think they are the Demi. I could wear these lashes all day every day! They make me feel like a Kardashian Sister or Princess Jasmine!
I again used my wonderful mooncake from Mac and also powdered my lids with Woodwinked from mac also. This colour is great for summer! Looks sexy every day of the week!
A quick flick of eye liner and Lucas pawpaw for the lips and I was done! Boom! Bang!!
Have a wonderful day everyone! Put your bets in and fingers crossed!!
