Every year at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia designers, hairstylists and makeup artists showcase the hottest new trends for the season. Here at beautyheaven we love seeing all the weird and wonderful makeup and hair looks, so we’ve broken down a few of our favourite looks that you can take from the runway to real-way.

Cobalt eyes at Bec & Bridge
Nicole Thompson created seriously lust-worthy blue eye looks for M.A.C at the Bec & Bridge show. “We’ve used Chromacake in Marine Ultra and Zinc Blue and How Royal Eyeshadow over the top to create this thick line with a rounded edge,” Nicole told BEAUTYDIRECTORY. Get the look at home by applying a pretty blue liner to the eyelid or waterline. Equal parts striking and chic!

Milkmaid braids at macgraw
An ethereal look was created with milkmaid braids by hairstylist Byron Turnbull for Kevin Murphy. The key to this look is to add texture with the Kevin Murphy Anti.Gravity volumising spray and Doo.Over dry shampoo to give hair that floaty, carefree vibe.

Aubergine eyes at Alice McCALL
Another winning eye look from Nicole Thompson at M.A.C, this time at the Alice McCall show with pretty burgundy tones. “Everything is in aubergine, the liner and the mascara,” she told BEAUTYDIRECTORY. Try this look for day by adding a swipe of burgundy eyeshadow to your lids. Add a slick of black liner over the top to make lashes appear thicker and watch your eyes POP!

Pastel highlights at Karla Spetic
Goldwell hair stylist Dale Delaporte incorporated dusty pink and orange pastel highlights through sleek ponytails at Karla Spetic. Don’t feel like committing to the full look by dying your locks? Try a clip-in style for the same effect.

Braids with rings at sass & bide
Not content with just a good old-fashioned braid, Renya Xydis took things to another level for Cloud Nine at the sass & bide show. Little rings were added to each style to toughen up the sleek looks and each model’s look was unique. Try this at home by threading small rings through sections of your braid or plait. So cool it hurts!

Glitter eyeshadow at Romance Was Born
SEPHORA makeup artist Natasha Severino gave models a glittery disco look at Romance Was Born. And while this sparkle shadow is just screaming to be twirled around a dancefloor, those who want a more subtle approach might prefer to try glitter liquid liner like ulta3’s Glitter Liquid Eyeliner.

Brushed-out curls at Albus Lumen
Redken‘s John Pulitano curled locks at the Albus Lumen show with a flat iron, then brushed them out for an undone, effortless look. Redken’s Wind Blown 05, Volume Rootful 06 and Fashion Work 12 added body and texture. Perfect for all those lazy gals out there!
