Luxury beauty brand, Runway Room, has announced Neighbours star, Jodi Anasta as the face of its cosmetics range. The actress, model and mother has officially launched the collection established by Melbourne makeup artist and photographer, Alex Fevola.
“I’ve been obsessed with beauty since I can remember, so I was very excited to jump at the opportunity to work with Runway Room. Given we are all so time poor these days a quick and simple makeup routine is key. I love the Runway Room range as it’s uncomplicated and effortless to use.”
I’m obsessed with the Runway Room Glow Palette at the moment. When I’m running out the door it’s great to have a palette that you can pop in your handbag – it has bronzer, blush and illuminator all in one!
“Although my beauty regime has always been pretty quick & simple the most important thing to me is ensuring the products are of the best quality.” said Runway Room Ambassador, Jodi.
Jodi embodies the Runway Room woman. She’s a natural beauty and exerts confidence – whether she’s wearing a full glam look, or her everyday minimal makeup, Jodi always looks gorgeous
We know you love keeping your makeup collection gorgeous and peachy.. alas, we've created a sleek, new product that will look good both in your stash AND on your face. Win-win? Actually, we've dropped FOUR new products.
Introducing our Quad Eye Shadow palettes, with each palette containing a combination of four different eyeshadows that work hand-in-hand with one another.
Why is this palette different to your regular makeup you ask? How much time do we have?
Its sleek, small, light and compact body makes it easy to store, and even easier to take with you 'on voyage'
The shadows are interchangeable, meaning if you 'hit pan' on a product, you can order the shade alone instead of waiting centuries to replace the entire palette. This one's for you, OCD.
100% MINERAL. Yes you read that right.. gone are the days of beauty coming at the cost of well, beauty. Some products that are being filled with harsh chemicals and other concoctions are doing you no favours. Rest assured that our mineral palettes contain naturally derived ingredients.
All the peace of mind that's synonymous with Runway Room; Made in Aus, not tested on animals, high quality and of course, high pigment. Run, don't walk.
CAMO PALETTE
Contains: Camouflage Eyeshadow, Snakeskin Eyeshdow, Chaps Eyeshadow and Soot Eyeshadow
A look designed for the bold, this dark, sultry green/camo look will draw attention to those gorgeous eyes and is a stunning go-to for a night out.

1) Jess, what made you want to get into Makeup Artistry?
I used to steal my younger cousins away to my bedroom at family gatherings and put makeup on them. By age 10 I was asking for cosmetics for my birthday and in my year 7 yearbook I said my dream job was a "makeup artist to the stars!", that idea never left me. I originally thought I would get into all areas of beauty as its been such a personal interest for me, but after I did a makeup course I realised thats all I wanted to do. I dont feel that doing makeup on someone is a job, its very enjoyable for me.
2) What do you think makes you stand out from other Makeup Artists?
I guess Im still pretty old school, I don't look at someone and think about ways I can contour and change their face to fit a trend. I look at them and think "what would I want to enhance and what would I want to disguise if I had this persons face". My goal is to make someone look as fresh and polished as possible and work within their style. Im always observing a clients clothes/handbag/hair to get a feel for the type of woman they are before I recommend a look for them.
3) What drew you to Runway Room?
I originally wanted to work for Runway Room as a freelance artist, I knew Alex had recently opened Hampton and was building her mobile team. Back then there werent many businesses providing that kind of work for independent makeup artists, and when I met Alex in person I just really liked her. So I was always keen to take any opportunity that came up.
4) Which RR products are your favourite?
Peach Punch blush is the best blush Ive ever used, and I also love our Summer Kiss bronzer, I use it on face body and eyes. Pink Flesh is a go to for dark circles, a good colour correcting concealer with the right consistency is hard to find on the market. I am also obsessed with Lip Prep, thats my desert island product for sure.
5) What has been your highest achievement in your career?
I feel like Im constantly learning in my job and Im often out of my comfort zone, my highest achievement has been pushing through those moments and getting better at things that have scared me at one time or another. 13 years ago the thought of a client asking for winged liner made me break out in a sweat, now I put a wing on anyone that will let me! I used to get really nervous doing demo's in front of a group, but since I have been teaching our academy I dont get nervous at all anymore and its actually my favourite part of the class.
6) What are you most looking forward to sharing in your workshop?
I look forward to showing everyone how simple yet effective a makeup can be when you choose the right product combinations, and use enough product. If theres one thing I see among beginner artists or the everyday woman is the fear of too much product. Thats often why the base looks patchy and worn by midday. A flawless base is what separates a professional application to an amateur one, but anyone can achieve a professional looking base if they follow the right steps :)
On Saturday 2nd March 2019, Runway Room had the pleasure of making over the faces of VAMFF, bumping shoulders with great designers and finally, enjoyed a runway show in the evening.
Our favourite look of the day was the one shown below.. Copper Please eye dust was worn on the eyes and Coral Matte Lip on the lip with a bit of Entrepreneur lipstick mixed throughout.
Have a peep and see what other looks our talented MUAs created on the big day!
A big welcome to this fabulous lady, Nicole Aqulina!
Nicole is a professional MUA who has had countless years in this industry painting faces and building such a reputable name for herself. We are so excited to have her with us to educate you all with Masterclasses that will help you bring your best face forward for any occasion.
1) Nicole, what made you want to get into Makeup Artistry?
I actually wanted to be a photographer, and I was always artsy and creative through school. I loved the idea of fashion photo shoots with glamorous models
(used to binge watch Next Top Model ) When going to uni for photography fell through, I thought about what it was that I really liked about photo shoots and what other way could I be creative- so thought makeup would be the next best thing! Never looked back...
2) What do you think makes you stand out from other Makeup Artists?
Hmmmm tough one!
I like to keep my looks minimal, and I’m all about the soft smokey blown out look! I can keep it light and natural whilst still giving glam and impact.
Theres a lot less artists with the sort of paired back approach, there’s a lot more of your heavy glam these days but I just focus on what I enjoy doing which id say my style sits somewhere in between. Whether that makes me stand out I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️
3) What drew you to Runway Room?
Alex! What an awesome lady! I love supporting boss women.
Being Australian made and operated is huge. And it makes me want to support more so than your bigger overseas stores! A makeup artist that has turned her passion into a business, which means you know it’s made carefully and with love!
4) Which RR products are your favourite?
Peach Punch blush! Such a beautiful youthful colour also LOVEEE the mascara!!!
5) What has been your highest achievement in your career?
I would say building my absolute passion into my business and then to a successful point.
I made myself from a nobody and nothing to what it is today. I’ve been flown overseas for weddings, done Brownlow makeup, makeup for campaigns and runways and had my makeup recognised by people I idolise.
So yeah I would say my business as a whole is my highest achievement.
6) What are you most looking forward to sharing in your workshop?
I can’t wait to show everyone my tips and tricks, but probably most excited- the question I get asked all the time- is how to achieve my warm smokey eye!
