Best Beauty: New Zealand Fashion Week

Bye bye boring chocolate browns, we're switching out our go-to neutral hues of colour for brick-red shades we saw on the runway at Eugenie. M.A.C senior artist Kiekie Stanners framed the eyes with brushed-out bold brows.

Want to get creative with your make-up this weekend? The runway at NZFW is all the inspiration you need.

Sometimes it takes a runway show to remind us that make-up is supposed to be fun. Lead M.A.C make-up artist Kiekie Stanners used a pop art colour palette on the PJ Harvey-inspired models at Miss Crabb.

There’s been no shortage of rich merlot-stained lips on the international runway, but its a look we’re yet to grow tired off. Lead make-up artist Kiekie Stanners paraded slick, vinyl-esque pouts down the catwalk at Harman Grubisa.

We love a catwalk look that’s easy to recreate at home. “Next day beauty, with slept in eyes and sweaty skin. The Stolen girl has put on her glossy lip for the morning after,” says M.A.C artist Kiekie Stanners.

Forget layers upon layers of gunmetal eyeshadows, imperfect, washed-out neutral hues with a touch of eyeliner is the new smoky eye. Lead M.A.C make-up artist Athena Pessione teamed the look with a barely there brick-red lip.

What’s not to love about the big, brushed out brows, luminous skin and perfectly sculpted cheekbones that M.A.C senior artist Kiekie Stanners created for Huffer?
