Dress to impress with this killer race day look. Team a classic smouldering eye with a deep red lip for a look that will have all eyes on you - opt for a simple bronze, glowy base and let your eyes and lips do the talking. Make sure you’re prepared with a handbag mirror and your fave deep red lipstick to top up your lips and make sure you slay all day. We’d recommend teaming this killer race day make up with a super shiny, sleek ponytail that will give the horses a run for their money…

Don’t like following the crowd? This look is a boho lovers’ dream. Team beachy waves with super-bronzed make up and a statement floral headband for the ultimate boho look. The night before the races, wash your hair and spritz on plenty of salt spray (we LOVE the Balmain Hair Texturizing Salt Spray), sleep with your hair in a loose braid to wake up with gorgeous, beachy waves. As for your make up, keep it super-glowy, bronzed and simple for a ‘just stepped of the beach’ look, TheBalm’s Betty Lou Manizer 3-in-1 Bronzer will be your new BFF for this race day make up.

You can never go wrong with a gorgeous, classic look. Team a sleek bun with a soft smokey eye and a classic red lip for a gorgeous yet understated look that will be sure to get you noticed. Opt for a red lipstick with a blue undertone to keep your make up looking fresh and bright - the girls at HQhair cannot get enough of the Chantecaille Matte Chic Liquid Lipstick in Carmen.

This race day make up and hair is effortlessly gorgeous. With tousled waves, a red lip and a huge hat, all eyes will be on you. Invest in a good setting powder (we are obsessed with the RMK Translucent Face Powder) to set your make up under your eyes and your T-zone to make sure your make up lasts as long as you do!
