TIPS & TRICKS: DRESSING FOR THE SYDNEY AUTUMN CARNIVAL

Leading Sydney based stylist Jess Pecoraro shares her hidden gems for dressing for the 2020 Autumn Racing Carnival.

Jess has shared her top tips to make sure you are looking your best trackside:

FELT HEADWEAR is a must for autumn, this season anything goes from lace oversized bows, veils and of course traditional hats with a JESS PECORARO modern twist. Australian Turf Club Official Stylist BOOTS are a must-have this season to offset the floaty femininity and add an edge to your raceday attire.

EMBRACE AUTUMN-ESQUE LAYERING by pairing a blouse under a dress to achieve a multi dimensional look, coupled with a pussy bow.

HOSIERY is a great way to keep warm during the colder days, while also adding an extra element to an outfit. OPT FOR A STYLISH AND COMFORTABLE SUIT paired back with pops of burgundy and burnt orange to incorporate Autumn tones.

ADOPT DEEP TEXTURES in fabrics, bags and headpieces which will help elevate all looks especially in darker hues.

48 TRACKSIDE BEAUTY TIPS

LIPS Autumn Racing fashion welcomes a bold lip. Use your fingertip to press in lipstick, which acts as a stain with great staying power. Finish with a liner to define lip edges and a touch of gloss in the centre to create a reflective pout. Top ti; A lip liner one shade deeper than your lip colour will add definition and shape to your lips

HAIR Sleek and chic hair styles are my picks for Autumn Racing. Use oils, hydrating lotions and dry wax to create healthy, elegant hair. Avoid too much hairspray and ‘fixed’ hair styles, as they don’t always look as fresh a few hours into the day. Top Tip; Less is more with hair, simple styles work better for long days at the races

SKIN Hydration is key as it guarantees makeup looking fresher for longer - it’s better to over prep the skin, than under prep. Top Tip Dab a few drops of a face oil onto the cheekbones before applying foundation. It gives an all-day natural glow on an area that reflects light the most.

EYES Autumn Racing is all about lashes and brows, which can really lift the face once defined. Play with textures and contrast from your outfit. Top Tip instead of traditional black liner, try navy, berry, chocolate or even granite to really make MICHAEL BROWN your eye colour pop. Australian Turf Club Beauty Expert CLUTCH ESSENTIALS FOR TOUCH UPS Lip colour, concealer & a pressed powder. LONGINES PRIZE FOR ELEGANCE
