Makeup Brush Guide
With a bevy of brushes on the market, it’s
hard for a girl to know what the essentials are.
Unless you’re a professional
makeup artist like our committee member Bec, the beauty section of the store can be a
little overwhelming.
We sought out some tips from resident girl of cool, Lauren Conrad
on the essential beauty arsenal.
Foundation: A synthetic brush. Can also be used for applying
cream blush.
Concealer: A narrow, synthetic brush with a slightly tapered edge.
Powder: A big, soft natural-fiber brush.
Contouring: A soft brush with a flat, angled edge. Also used for bronzing.
Blush: A soft medium-full round brush. Natural fiber is best.
Eye Shadow: A tapered, flat brush that is good for blending.
Fan Brush: A light brush that is great for highlighter. It’s also good for brushing away loose eye shadow.
Eyeliner: A narrow, angled brush for applying gel liner or shadow as liner.
Eyelash and Brow Comb: The side with the small, plastic comb is used for removing mascara clumps from lashes. The bristled side is for grooming eyebrows.
Eyebrow: A firm, angled brush used for filling in eyebrows with brow powder. Go for something with coarser bristles.

2013 TFF Event I’m most looking forward to:
All events are going to be great, but I think the 'Cocktail Couture' event on Thursday night will blow me out of the water the most.

The Making of a Fashion Festival - Bec Dainer
The TFF Committee are a bunch of local people who work tirelessly without recognition to make the Townsville Fashion Festival a success for their local community.
The team are a mix of local business people, designers, hair stylists, make up artists, event managers who are genuinely interested in the prosperity this event will provide for the economy.
The festival brings to life the North Queensland culture and talent showcasing the wonderful destination 184,000 people call home.
TFF will be showcasing the pool of volunteer talent who work behind the scenes to bring together the event. Putting a festival together is no easy feat, but when passion unites, no task is impossible.
Bec Dainer is one of TFF's talented makeup artists who whips up the looks for our models by painting faces, layering palettes of colour and gluing eyelashes like the professional she is backstage, without a scrap of complaint.
Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more behind the scenes peeks into the making of the Townsville Fashion Festival...

Your role on the Townsville Fashion Festival committee:
Coordinator for the Makeup Team.
Fashion industry experience:
I have been involved in various fashion parades, however they do not compare to being on the makeup team in last year’s Townsville Fashion Festival. That was the first time I had been involved in the fashion industry on such an impressive scale and with so many talented designers.Favourite designer:
I would have to say ‘Camilla’ I adore her beautiful Kaftan’s, the prints are so vibrant, full of colour and the designs are so feminine and floaty, they are just stunning!
Style staple:
Comfort comes first for me, I am such a homebody, I prefer flats over a heel, however I do love earrings and prefer to dress up a simple outfit with a nice big pair of dangly earrings. Unless of course I had a ‘Camilla’ Kaftan in my closet, that would be a style staple on its own.
Why do you live in Townsville:
I was born here in Townsville so it’s always been home to me, I have moved away with my family in the past but have always come back. It’s the big country...small city town, with everything I need, half my family if here, the sunshine, laid back lifestyle, cyclones and all I don’t need to live anywhere else.
2013 TFF Event I’m most looking forward to:
The opening night on Thursday 24th October is where the Hair and Makeup team get to unleash the creative, so I am really excited to show what we can do as a group that night. However I do look forward to the Runway Show on the Friday night the most, it’s a buzz being backstage and being amongst the action. There’s this high energy and constant race out back to make everything work out, yet so calm and cool on the runway, call me crazy, but I love that chaos!!

MBFWA 2013 Spring 13/14 Trends Recap
The Mercedes-Benz Brisbane Fashion Festival steamed ahead this year as a successful consumer-driven event. The unique festival directly promotes the local fashion industry by shining a spotlight on new season collections as they drop in store, rather than a season ahead.
In its eighth year, the festival is not shy of success as it launched the 13/14 Spring Summer trends.
The Spring runways were awash with fresh hues, patterns and unusual silhouettes. Reports are that 90s made an appearance in the form of midriffs and psychedelic prints. Beauty was simple with middle parts, straight shiny locks allowing the bold clothes to take centre stage.
Here were some highlights from the shows...
1. Overstated Silhouettes
Sleeves took the front seat this Spring with designers experimenting with bell shapes in luxurious fabrics.
2. Midriffs
This is one unforgiving trend that's in for a few more seasons yet. Crunch time?
3. All White
A trend that emerged months ago is still a favourite with our Aussie designers. TFF loves the crisp white tailoring seen at MBFWA.
4. Sheer Delight
Sheer sleeves, sheer panels and sheer lace popped up this season in an array and textures and hues. Still perceived as an off-limits trend by some, sheer garments require a touch of sophistication to be pulled off.

Numerous
runways presented key looks reminiscent of trends from the 90s (think
Kate Moss in all her glory), with exposed midriffs, psychedelic prints
and exaggerated silhouettes making up the top 3 on my lust-list.
Beauty looks took on a similar 90s persuasion with middle parts, straight, shiny locks and teased accents. When it comes to hit vs miss, the following are my fashion favourites for next year’s summer season.
