RAFW preview: spring makeup trends

Written by Joanne Cleary on 27.04.11

As RAFW (Australian fashion week) again draws near and fashionisers click their heels in anticipation of one of the most celebrated (and busiest!) events on the Australian fashion calendar, those uber-talented creative types are busily working behind the scenes to finalise the looks which we will covet in the months to come. We were fortunate enough to chat with one of these creative minds who also happens to be one of Australia's most talented makeup artists - Nicole Thompson, senior artist for MAC Australia, official makeup brand for RAFW.
One look at Nicole's resume and you know the vision of RAFW is in more than competent hands. As a part of the International MAC Pro Team, Nicole spends part of the year travelling beyond our borders to rather glam assignments- international fashion weeks, opulent events and luxe photoshoots. Career envy starts now. Beyond the drapery, imagery and silks on display, Nicole and her 50 strong team will execute the artistry at RAFW to complement the vision of the designers.
Unsurprisingly, inspiration for the Australian catwalks begin with our European counterparts and spring 2011 trends such as the sumptuous metallics are expected to translate here, with a home grown twist. Read Nicole's exclusive preview of RAFW makeup and begin your inspiration now...
