Be fascinating

Races fever has arrived. And although you may have found a frock and already picked your trifecta, it’s imperative that you break away from your regular face and become a little more fascinating in honour of the race that stops the nation.

No I’m not talking feathers, hats and jewels (although they do look smashing atop a perfectly groomed mane), I’m talking interesting hair and make-up – a look that will have the jockeys jumping for joy and see your racing cred soar.

The main thing to remember? The races are smart – you know, stylish. So just like with the Phillies, grooming is key. Save the shaggy beach ‘do for when you hit the sand, and opt for a more structured look, like a sleek top-knot, or a pretty side-ponytail. And of course, each look can always be glammed up with an interesting accessory.

As for your face, I recommend choosing a focal point – such as your eyes or lips.
Nothing says chic like a pouty red lip, so I suggest making it your own my mixing a blood red hue with a spot of orange or coral. We love Mavala Switzerland Mavalip Lipstick in Ibiza (a bright orange) teamed with Bloom Mineral Plus Lipstick in Swing (blood red) for a pout that packs a punch.

For the eyes? Stray from the classic smoky shadow as it’s better suited to a night time look. Instead, why not opt for a lilac lid with an emerald eyeliner? The colours complement any eyeshade and will have that little black dress look suddenly seeming a whole lot more interesting. For this, we love Beautycycle™ Eyeshadow Duo in Amethyst and Maybelline New York Unstoppable Eyeliner in Jade.

How will you look fascinating for Melbourne Cup? (Or any race day)
