What will your ball night look be - cool, sassy, vintage or sweet? The Stephen Marr team have created a range of hair and beauty looks to inspire your ball night style, as part of Belle du Jour.

Stephen Marr hairstylist Lauren Gunn gives us some inside tips for
your big night. Her top ball hair advice?

"Do your own thing, have fun with a look that shows off your personal style and rock it with confidence, keep it simple and go easy on the hairspray!"

1. SASSY COLOUR
"If you're planning on sporting a bob to the ball, turn up the volume with a sharp fringe trim on the day and a wash of sassy colour - just don't match your hair to your outfit no matter what! You can get this look with a temporary toner guaranteed to be gone with a couple of washes when you come back down to earth after the big night."

What to wear: Gwen from Clyne wears a vintage cocktail dress, fox fur and heels from Fast & Loose, and Lewis from Clyne wears a Kmart T-shirt with Kate Sylvester slacks.

What to use: Kevin Murphy Straight defence $46, Powder pigment from Geoff's Emporium, Ghd Classic Stylers $349, iD Minerals Eyeshadow in Cultured Pearl, $52. Blinc Liquid Eyeliner in Black, $55. Lips Becca Lip Colour in Alina, $55. Cheeks Becca Blush in Sylph, $65.

2. SHORT BUT SWEET
"Girls with short hair can tap into speakeasy glamour with shiny head-hugging waves, which look especially good if you're planning to show off a lot of glowing skin."

What to wear: Anouk from 62 Models wears an outfit by Cybele, and Jeremy wears an outfit from First Scene.

What to use: Becca Mascara in Brown, $52. Becca Lip and Cheek Creme in Turkish Rose, $63. Becca Lip and Cheek Creme in Turkish Rose, and Angel, $63. Sebastian Gel Forte $34, Sebastian Halo Mist $38.

3. OLD FASHIONED CHARM
"A little Moroccan Oil dried into your hair will give it a condition boost and leave it looking clean and product-free. If you're feeling like a vintage French look, sweep your hair up in a soft roll that dips over your brows and tuck the ends away. Stay on theme with old fashioned peaches and cream shades on your eyes and lips and cheeks."

What to wear: Gabrielle from Red11 wears Lonely Hearts.

What to use: Moroccan Oil $59.95, Sebastian Zero Gravity $36. Becca Mascara in Bronze, $52. iD Minerals Lipstick in Parfait, $50. Becca Lip Tint in Coconut Ice, $53. Cheeks Nvey Eco Blush #953, $45.

4. SCARFIE
"A bit of colour puts a twist on the classic up-do; wrap a scarf into your hair and tie it in to a bow, it's the perfect accessory for a frock that is short and sweet."

What to wear: Kat from Red11 wears a dress and scarf from Karen Walker.

What to use: Becca Lipliner in Nougat, $42. Nvey Eco Lipstick #363, $48. Becca Shimmer Powder Hyawatha, $79. Kevin Murphy Motion Lotion $36, Sebastian Zero Gravity $36.

5. OLD SCHOOL WAVES
"If you have long shiny healthy hair it would almost be a crime not to show it off, put big waves in with Ghd Salon Stylers and let it set in old-school rollers for 10 minutes while you perfect a killer dark lip."

What to wear: Ella S from Clyne wears an off the shoulder dress from Miss Crabb.

What to use: Semi-Permanent Lash Extensions Half Set, $80. Nvey Eco Lipstick #359, $48. Becca Blusher in Wisp, $65. Ghd Maximise Mousse, Ghd Polishing Serum.

6. THE EDGE OF COOL
"For those who are right out on the edge of cool, load your hair up with Sebastian Liquid Steele and scrape it back into a tight perfect three-strand braid, bind the ends with cotton thread and team it up with bare neutral makeup and hefty lashes."

What to wear: Sakura from 62 Models wears a Salasai dress and Beau Coops from Black Box Boutique. Karl from Red11 a Kmart T-shirt, Kate Sylvester pants and a vintage jacket.

What to use: Sebastian Liquid Steele $34, Body St. Tropez Spray Tan at Lucy & The Powder Room, $65. Semi-Permanent Lashes Full Set, $120. Becca Concealer in Sherbert on lips $75. Nvey Eco Lipstick #359, $48. Nvey Eco Organic Bronzer, $62.
