2011 RAFW Backstage Beauty Report: Little Joe Woman Starring Yasmin Le Bon!

by POPSUGAR Beauty AU 0

Little Joe Woman backstage was the place to be if you wanted to catch a glimpse of Yasmin Le Bon. The British beauty jetted into Sydney to walk for her good friend Gail Elliott's label alongside Aussie beauties Samantha Harris and Rachel Rutt. All the models, including Yasmin, had the same "edgy but feminine" makeup palette, which featured a smoky eye, complete with kohl on the water-line. The hair was in part inspired by Gail, but where as Gail's known for her "glamazon" glossy mane, hair director Brad Ngata gave models a drier, more textured finish by using a double moussing technique before tonging hair.

• Colours: Granite, purple
