Spring signals the start of racing season, but before you start hedging your bets, it’s a good idea to plan your ensemble and essentials. Just like any occasion, the key to the perfect race day look lies in its preparation.
Here, BD has compiled a list of 10 brands to help with trackside prep, including a bevy of beauty saviours to solve common complaints.
For truly show-stopping peepers, Australian lash masters MODELROCK Lashes offer false eyelashes that are 100 per cent hand-made. The reusable lashes are available in a range of different sizes to suit your personality and preferences.
As the races are filled with photo opportunities, a sparkling, white smile is a must. Keep your chompers looking as good as new with the help of Opalescence. Whether you undergo the whitening treatment at the dentist’s, or use the at-home kit, the gel will lighten the shade of your teeth dramatically.
Red eyes are hardly the ideal pairing for a fascinator. Keep your eyes bright with Murine. The eye drop formulations and wipes help to nix sore, tired, red, dry and irritated eyes caused by the dusty track (and a sneaky champagne or two) by gently moisturising and refreshing them.
NYX Professional Makeup
Any avid racegoer will tell you that your ‘face’ is just as important as your dress. NYX Cosmetics has you covered with its collection of special occasion make-up. The US-based company has a growing portfolio of products in a rainbow of shades to help you to create any beauty look you desire.
With the luscious manes of horses to compete with, you don’t want to be sporting flat hair trackside. Keep your locks in good nick with Viviscal - the volumising supplements and hair treatment range can boost hair thickness, scalp and hair quality with the help of organic ingredients.
For a bronzed glow with a side of ethics, try TanOrganic. The world’s first and only eco-certified self-tanning brand, TanOrganic is not only free from parabens, toxic preservatives, artificial drying agents, perfumes or fragrances, but is also odourless. The sunless tanning range is also ethically-made, environmentally-friendly and PETA-approved.
When you look like a vision, you want to smell like a dream, too. Let the florals of spring inspire your fragrance choice with Valentino’s fragrances. Inspired by Valentino’s hometown of Rome, the perfumes and colognes embrace notes of Calabrian bergamot, tuberose, and Amalfi orange blossom.
Whether you opt for a fascinator or not, the races is no time for a bad hair day. Sculpt that barnett like a professional with Luxcurly. The Sydney-based brand creates auto-rotating curling irons that will help you to achieve salon-style results at home.
Make sure your pout is in tip-top condition for race day with Zovirax. The clinically-proven antiviral cream banishes cold sores quickly, tackling them up to five times faster than a traditional cream.
