Who: Bianca Spender
When: 3 pm, April 15. The Theatre, Carriageworks.
Hair: Michelle McQuillan for O&M
Hair style: "The clothes at Bianca are really pretty so you can go a bit grungier with the hair. We're doing a nice high ponytail at the crown, tying it off with an elastic, and then twisting it into a messy knot leaving the ends out. We're then using the Sukuroi Cream just around the hairline and on the ends because we want it to look a little oilier and wetter. We're using Rootalicious to thicken the hair and Surf Bomb Sea Salt Spray to give it grit," says Michelle McQuillan.
Make-up: Victoria Baron for M.A.C
Make-up style: "Our inspiration was a girl who has a femininity about them but they're still quite tough - they're not pushovers, they've got a bit of an edge to them. We wanted all the girls to go down the runway feeling like they've got a little bit of strength in there. We've got very clean, hydrated, moisturised skin. It's effortless, no foundation, just concealing where you need to - it's all about the skin prep. We've pushed the eyebrows up a little bit, given them a bit more of a masculine shape and taken out any of the arches. We're brushing them the opposite way than what they would normally go so they've got a masculine, bushy, sparseness feel but still filling them in so there is a strength in the brow. With the lips, we've got some girls going through with colour and some without. The bold lip is Lady Danger with a Neon Orange Pigment to give it an edgier vibrant matte finish. On the eyes we have no mascara and no eyeliner - just very clean and open," says Victoria Baron.
