ISSADA Cosmeceuticals is a proud sponsor of Brisbane Fashion Festival
Queensland's most prestigious fashion event of the year
Behind the Beauty of Brisbane Fashion Festival
To date, Brisbane Fashion Festival remains the premier fashion event that shines a spotlight on key issues including sustainability, female empowerment, gender fluidity and neutrality, diversity, and inclusivity within the fashion industry.
ISSADA is proud to be an official sponsor of this prestigious event. It’s one of many exciting opportunities for our makeup artists to showcase bold, creative looks on the runway. Delivering a show of this calibre requires immense preparation—from developing concept looks, coordinating with talented artists (including our team, stockists, and past ISSADA professionals), ensuring sufficient product and consumables for all three shows, packing photography backdrops, to organising photography and more.
It’s a true team effort, with every member playing a role in the preparation or execution—and of course, a few of us get to enjoy the magic from the audience too!
Modern Glam, Runway Ready
This elevated runway look brings together modern elegance and soft definition. Skin was sculpted and glowing thanks to the seamless blend of Prostick Contour and Highlight, creating natural depth and light-reflecting radiance. The eyes were softly smoked using Earth Eyeshadow, adding just enough intensity to frame the gaze without overpowering the overall aesthetic.
To complete the look, Amplify Mascara delivered length and lift, enhancing the lashes with precision. The finishing touch? Melrose Lipstick—a rich, rosy mauve that added a fresh, sophisticated pop of colour to the lips. The result: a refined yet wearable glam that translates beautifully from runway to real life.
Soft Glow, Strong Statement
This look radiates sun-kissed confidence with a soft, bronzed finish. The base was perfected using Mineral Velvet Cream Foundation, delivering smooth, buildable coverage with a naturally flawless result. A touch of Hydra Bronze was then swept across the high points of the face to warm the complexion and add that healthy, runway-ready glow.
Eyes were sculpted using the Rich Earth Eyeshadow Palette, blending earthy neutrals and deep tones to create soft definition and smoky depth. The cheeks were brought to life with a flush of Champagne Diamonds Blush—a shimmering rose-gold hue that catches the light effortlessly. The overall effect: radiant, grounded, and glowing with earthy elegance.
