We’ve partnered with the crew at Lenovo to go behind the scenes at VAMFF and interview Australia’s most prolific fashion identities.

Her career launched during “5 minutes of Naomi Campbell’s life that she’s probably forgotten,” yet Rae Morris is now one of the most recognisable names in the beauty industry on a global scale.

After entering the industry as a hair dresser, Rae claims she landed in the makeup business by accident, having proven her ability to apply clear lip gloss on the go. She proves that sometimes you need to jump in to things head on and ‘fake it till you make it’ while building a name for yourself.

Rae spoke to TheVine’s host Jasmin Howell about her role as the Beauty Director for the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival, her foolproof fresh skin and bushy brows combo, and how to pair a runway ensemble with its perfect beauty companion.
