Hello lovers!

If you’re reading this - congratulations... you’ve survived the havoc that is January and have officially made it through the craziest time of the year.

Now that everything is mellowing out, we couldn’t think of a more perfect time for one of our favourite dates to be right around the corner. The roses, the chocolate heart-shaped boxes… you got it. Feb 14; the time of year where cheesiness is totally acceptable and the perfect opportunity for whipping up your most impressive glam.

This year, we’re crushing on:

A glowy complexion and great-looking skin typically depicts good health, which is key to looking, and feeling, more attractive overall. Face Base is notorious for evening out complexion, whilst still maintaining that fresh, flattering glow. It is super lightweight so you won’t run the risk of looking cakey or overdone. So effortless, so ‘woke up like this’.

This blush is the perfect way to cheat your way to youthful looking skin and natural radiance. Found in our Glow Palette and on its on as a solo hero-product, Peach Punch is one of our best sellers and for good reason- the complexion it brings to the face is remarkable, and brings life to an overly-bronzed up look. Val Day is not a day to dull down, amp up your glam with this gorgeous peach shade and thank me later!

Having long, luscious lashes makes it easier to bat them at bae, right? Our Power Lash mascara is known to transform not only those with voluminous lashes, but also those who have lashes that struggle in the length-department. It is smudge-free and doesn’t contain parabens, so we think it’s the best thing you could do for your peepers!

To add some extra drama to your eye makeup look, our lash enhancements are definitely the way to go. Easy to apply, inclusive of glue - it’s a no brainer! We particularly love the effect of ‘’Luxe’’ lash enhancement, as its deisgned to have wispy segmented parts which are so flattering and lengthening.

We know your Feb 14 will most likely consist of eating, drinking and locking lips (no need to be shy), so having some reassurance that your lipstick will last as long as possible is a non-negotiable. Our Matte Lip will not only extend the life of your lips, but will keep your lips feeling soft and cashmere-y. Plus with a range of shades to choose from, we’ve got you covered if you’d like more of a nude look, or a bold statement.

To match the romantic vibes, we’re crushing on CEO and Governer lipsticks - CEO being a deep red and Governer a gorgeous, hot pink. They ooze feminity, vibrancy and are so soft and hydrating for your lips. There’s nothing worse than puckering up when you know your lips feel like a drought.

We’ve launched our brand new product and just in time - there are multiple Quad Eyshadow Palettes to choose from, however for a sultry look we can’t go past the Kimberleys palette. Featuring Brideshine (a gorgeous shadow for brightening the inner corner of your eyes), Rust Lust (a rich, golden bronze tone for the mobile lid), Dreamtime & Soot- both being a darker shade to smoke out to your heart’s content.

As you may have picked up by now, we love having your back in the lead up to important dates in your calendar (yep, we consider Val Day of the highest importance) - so we’ve prepped a classic look that we know you’ll fall head-over-heels for. Whether you’ll be spending time with a special swipe-right or your long-term beau, turn heads on your date night and feel your absolute best.

Runway Room HQ MUA Enrica is here to show us the most requested Feb 14 face, featuring smoldering eyes, lush lashes, and romantic red kissers.

That time of the year is here, beauty lovers!

Whether your holidays are going to be spent by the BBQ or you have to whip out your Sunday Best for a fancier celebration, we have your christmas face inspo right here.

If you decide to go with an au naturale look or sport a higher-velocity glam, these looks are guaranteed to impress the most opinionated of aunts! So sit back, relax, have a look at these easily-achieved festive looks, and prepare to fight off a zillion compliments.

LOOK 1.

THE ‘’KINDA AU NATURALE’’

This look is perfect for those who are wanting to step it up a notch at their ‘smart-casual’ Chrissy gathering, but not look overly done. You’ll have people wondering what you’ve done differently, and you’ll feel all smug that people are appreciating your festive face! Keep the base quite natural - the trick is that it’s all in the eyes. It’s all the little things that make a difference: falsies, eye definer and a smokier shadow than you’re used to.

WE USED:

Primer, Face Base Foundation, Pink Flesh Concealer, Setting Powder, Glow Palette, Brow Dust, Dreamtime Eyeshadow, Soot Eyeshadow, Power Lash Mascara, Brown Eye Definer, Locquacious Lash, Nude Matte Lip & Toffee Cream Lip Gloss

LOOK 2.

THE ‘’FESTIVE CHIC’’

Nothing screams Christmas Party quite like a red lip; it’s simple, it’s elegant and 100% approved by our HQ elves. The beauty of a red lip is its versatility - you can style it up if you’re heading to a fancy Chrissy celebration, or you can make it work for a family do!

WE USED:

Primer, Face Base Foundation, Concealer Palette, Setting Powder, Glow Palette, Light Brow Dust, Copper Please Eye Dust Rust Lust Eyeshadow, Black Eye Definer, Power Lash Mascara, Locquacious Lash, Red Matte Lip and CEO Lipstick.  

LOOK 3.

THE ‘’HEALTHY HOLIDAYER’’

If your ideal holidays are spent by the pool, the BBQ, going for a hike or just getting a stroll in with the family, then this ultra natural makeup look is just for you! Keep the base super natural and protected by using our Game Face pack! It is 100% Mineral, so it’s essentially makeup that your skin won’t punish you for using! It also contains SPF to protect you from that December Sun- it really is a no-brainer if you’re an outdoorsy buff. You can either keep the eyes natural with some mascara if you’re not a huge makeup-wearer, or you can do a colour wash (one colour) all over the lid for a simple statement eye.

WE USED:

Game Face Pack (Mineral Foundation Powder, Lip Prep, Glow Palette, Kabuki Brush), Power Lash Mascara, Brow Dust, Sunset Eye Dust, Rust Lust Eyeshadow.

LOOK 4.

THE ‘’AFTER DARK DRAMATIC’’

Flaunt this sultry smokey eye and you will have every head turning these holidays; absolutely perfect for cocktail-type parties this festive season, and definitely one to recycle for New Years Eve.

Keep the drama all in the eyes, and keep the lips simple, nude and glossy. A bronzey base works perfectly on this type of look so that there isn’t too much going on.

WE USED:

Primer, Face Base Foundation, Mineral Stick Foundation, Concealer Palette, Setting Powder, Mineral Foundation Powder, Glow Palette, Brow Dust, Black Eye Definer, Soot Eyeshadow, Coal Eyeshadow, Power Lash Mascara, Locquacious Lash, Nude Matte Lip, Toffee Cream Lip Gloss.

No matter which theme you’re feeling this year, bring your best face forward these holidays. 

Have a safe and joyful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

With love,

Hey guys! On the weekend I attended the Chadstone Polo, and so many people have asked about this look. So, I decided to do a quick blog to show you guys how to achieve a quick, glowing summer look! 

B A S E

Runway Room Spring Skin Pack E. This pack is full of the essentials: Face Base, Glow Palette & Foundation Buffing Brush. It is honestly the perfect pack for that fresh, luminous base. 

E Y E S

I used Runway Room's Illuminator powder all over the lid up to the brow bone. I then went in with Summer Dust eyeshadow in the crease and a bit of ‘Beaches’ eye dust on the inner corner of the eye.

L I P S

A touch of Coral Matte Lip pencil, with Gold Rush lip gloss on top over the top for a subtle shimmer.

Tips:

- I used plenty of Peach Punch Blush for this look- it paired beautifully with Summer Dust eyeshadow, but it is also such a great way to enhance your complexion and bring life to the face. 

- Exaggerated wing; I used a black gel liner but any liquid liner will do! This trick really amps up any natural glam. 

- For added volume and length, I used Power Lash Mascara & finished the look off with a Loquacious Lash lash enhancement.

- I packed on our llluminator powder to add a strong opacity of the colour.

Hello beauty lovers!

We're a hop, skip and a jump away from the jolly season, and we have some HOT tips and must-have products to too good not to share with you. So whether you've been naughty or nice, the little elves at HQ think you deserve to hear these hacks to help you sleigh all day.

Sorry, I'll show myself out.

_____________________________________________________________

1. 

DON'T DITCH PRIMER - How you base your face will set the tone for your makeup for the duration of the day, so make sure you nail this first step to combat that oil and shine before you even see it!

Apply Runway Room's Mattifying Primer all over the face. This will not only help you see your makeup right through to the end of the day, but will keep your face nice and matte. 

2.

DARE TO GO BARE - POWDER FOUNDATION IS YOUR NEW BFF - This just in, ladies - less is more! Powder is the product that everybody is opting out for in sweaty seasons, because it is known to absorb moisture and oil.

Bonus points for a MINERAL powder, right? Our Mineral Foundation Powder is an absolute essential for your tote this summer - made out of all natural ingredients &  contains SPF to keep your skin youthful and well-protected against UV rays. This powder also won't clog your pores and make you feel cakey like a lot of powders on the market. 

If you can't neglect your trusty liquid foundations, or you need some extra coverage for those summer nights, use them sparingly. More layers = more creases. Press the product right into your skin with some pressure as well (either with your brush or beauty blender), rather than leaving it sit on the surface of your skin. Just remember to use some Translucent Setting Powder if you do choose the liquid option to lock the product in - after all, what's wet needs to set!

3.

THERE IS SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH HIGHLIGHTER - Despite being one of contemporary makeup's most iconic products, we seldom need too much highlighter when it comes to those high temps. This is because your 'glow' will inevitably develop throughout the day, and when there is already too much applied, the SHINE is very emphasised. 

Additionally, try to avoid sparkly highlighters as they often bring out any form of texture in even the smoothest of skins - if you want just a touch of dimension on your cheekbones and cupids bow, light handedly apply Runway Room's Illuminating Powder - it has a pearly finish which mimics that natural radiance. 

4. 

OILY EYES? BAKE THAT LID - You spend quality time perfecting those peepers and then, only a couple of hours into the day, you find yourself trying to smooth out creases & clean up any areas where your liner has transferred higher onto your lid. If this is you - get yourself onto BAKING.

Baking is a process by which you allow setting powder to rest on your skin for a couple of minutes before lightly sweeping it off. It has proven to increase longevity of makeup and control the appearance of shine. Quite often, people bake under their eye areas to set their concealed areas, however this technique works a charm on oily lids! After applying concealer to your lid, let Transclucent Setting Powder sit for a while before applying eyeshadow (if any). Thank us later!

5.

SUMMER-PROOF YOUR LASHES - Whether you're going for a dip or just enjoying the sunshine, avoid that oh-so-familiar black smudge around your eyes. Find yourself a smudge-proof mascara that will cover you for all your summer activities. Or let us do the work for you - Power Lash Mascara is our secret to long, nourished lashes. Mascara is a really easy way to enhance the eyes and overall face with even the most minimal makeup looks. 

6.

DON'T HAVE A BROW MALFUNCTION -  Wet products such as crayons and gels that are often used to fill in brows can often lead to little (or big) blunders throughout the day. Sweat on your face can cause the product to move around, and upon making any form of contact with your brow throughout the day, you may find yourself in a sticky situation (read: BROW MESS).

Swapping your pencils or gels for a Brow Dust is a far better suited option for summer, as powder holds any moisture down and sets on the face far better.

7.

DAB DON'T RUB - If you're in too deep and can't avoid the heat & sweat, ensure you dab at your face (either with blotting paper or tissue). Gently dab off the area instead of wiping at your face. Wiping at the sweat will move the product on your face, leaving you in an even stickier situation. 

8. 

LUSH KISSERS ALL DAY LONG - With hot weather comes dehydration, and one of the first places you can spot lack of hydration are our lips.

Say goodbye to dry, cracked lips and let me introduce you to Runway Room's Lip Prep - with peppermint and menthol for plumping and hydrating the lips, this product is an absolute essential. Even if you have nothing else on your face, we guarantee you'll be reaching for this little piece of goodness (yes, little - it will tuck away just perfectly into your beach bag). You'll feel hydrated and nourished with just one swipe, and it can be worn alone or underneath lip products of your choice for longevity and hydration.
