Lastly they headed over for an appointment at S&S Hair and Beauty to create fabulous party appropriate hair dos.

Rachelle was styled with relaxed curls to softly frame her face.

While Jo went with a sleek and sophisticated pony tail.

We kicked off the makeover with a pampering session at ProfessioNail.

The team attended to Jo and Rachelle’s cuticle needs and finished it off with vibrant summer shades.

Next, the talented make-up artists at Wax’d enhanced their beautiful porcelain skin with a warm rouge.

Clare was given a bright lip colour as the finishing touch to her fabulous new look, while Stephanie’s makeover was completed with autumn hues, complementing the patterns and maroon features of her new outfit.

Next up the girls met with Felicity at Ella Baché.

The resident make up artist set to work enhancing the girls’ natural beauty with youthful shimmer based eye shadows and pink lips.

If you’re rocking two looks in one day like Rachelle and Jo, get your make up to go the distance by opting for subtle, natural colour tones.
