If there's one thing we love the most in the beauty world, it's when stars go nude. No, not that nude — we mean their faces. Whether they're working a popping lip colour or a shimmery eye, nothing sets it off better than a face that looks fresh, bare and beautiful. Derby Day in Melbourne today has been the perfect example. While we were, of course, taken with the fashion, we were most impressed by Lara Bingle's gorgeous freckles (no earpiece this time!), Kate Waterhouse's naturally bronzed glow, Nicole Kidman's porcelain skin and so much more. It was gorgeous looks galore as our fave celebeauties hit the green carpet (and by green carpet, we mean grass) in Flemington today — click through the gallery and check 'em all out!
