Who: bec & bridge
When: 1 pm, April 1. Bay 22-24, Carriageworks.
Hair: Alan White for KMS
Hair style: "Downtown 'it' girl - very cool. We've added some movement to the lengths as though it was already there, while keeping it nice and flat at the crown. We want it to look done but undone, very natural. I've been using the Silk Sheen range for a beautiful silky finish that's not dry like beach waves - it's more of a polished wave. Any sort of kinks, frizziness or dryness, we're trying to make look healthy. We want it to look sexy, healthy, beautiful and as though she's done nothing with it. Products used are KMS SILK SHEEN Polishing Serum and KMS Hairplay," says Alan White.
Make-up: Nicole Thompson for M.A.C
Make-up style: "The statement is the tan, it's not a make up look today. Basically, we want the girls to look as though they've just rolled out of the Amazon looking amazing. We don't want it to look too glam or glitzy and we're not using anything shimmery - it's all about creating a really balmy skin. We've used Face and Body, starting at C5 and going darker. Everybody is C5 plus today, even if they're really pale - we're making them dark. Each girl is quite different and we are adding pigmentation freckles to some who need it, just to create a bit of depth in the skin. We're also filling and brushing the brows back quite messily, which adds some toughness, " says Nicole Thompson.

Tan: Michael Brown for
Tan style: "Today we want a really active, healthy glow on the skin. We're using the St Tropez Instant Tan in Deep, for a deeper tan that'll look great with the lighting. This is massaged in really well using the St Tropez Tanning Mitt, so that it looks natural and isn't sitting on top of the skin. Then once we have the colour, we're using the St Tropez Skin Illuminator to highlight the collarbone and places the light would naturally hit to make it fresher and healthier, instead of just one block colour. It's not about changing the skin colour, it's more about smoothing it and enhancing the colour they already have," says Michael Brown.
Skin: Skinstitut
Skin prep: "We prepped the skin with the Skinstitut Hydrating Mist, to protect and freshen it right up. Then we used the Skinstitut Eye Believe for any puffiness, which we also spread a bit further over the face to tighten pores. Then we chose different moisturisers for each girl based on their skin type. So if they had oily skin we used the Oily Skin Moisturiser and for the rest we used Normal," says Kylee Merrick.
