Who: CS Edit X Kirrily Johnston
When: 11 am, April 16. The Theatre, Carriageworks.
Hair: Renya Xydis for Wella Professionals
Hair style: "The look is inspired by a soft version of a gladiator style - we took the idea and we made it quite feminine and beautiful. The texture of the hair style is dry rather than tight and wet to the head, and we've left the beautiful tendrils so that when she moves, the hair moves with her. We've put in a lot of Wella Ocean Spritz Spray to lift the hair from the scalp, before adding both hairspray and dry shampoo to it. It is something that can be recreated at home - you would just need to plait the hair by four front sections, with two main braids at the back. Then tie the braids up and twirling it over at the back," says Renya Xydis.
Make-up: Liz Kelsh
Make-up style: "Kirrily wanted a goddess vibe to the make-up, a little Grecian, a little Roman. We made a nod to that feeling but we also took that look to Coachella, making the look a little bit more festival and more wearable. It's really a simple look - just black eyeliner, heaps and heaps of mascara and then we used gold leaf as an eyeliner on both upper and lower lashes. It's all about that beautiful dewy skin so we spent a bit of time massaging the moisturiser in before using a highlighter that was mixed up with gold pigments and used it on the cheekbones. The lips are mostly a nude lip, but it's a very wearable, flattering nude lip as opposed to something bleached out. Every now and again there will also be a girl adorned with a vibrant orange matte lip, which totally matches the colours of the collection. This show was quite exciting because there is no make-up sponsor so we really got to do whatever we wanted," says Liz Kelsh.

Nail look: "In-keeping with the Roman, Grecian brief, we wanted a nail look that was quite decadent with a lot of gold. We used a fleshy tone that we created by using a base layer of CND Vinylux in Blush Teddy with a layer of CND Vinylux Romantique over the top. Gold foil was then hand-placed on the nail, snaking down the centre from the cuticle, matching the make-up. A number of models will also wear nail jewels. The nail designs themselves are quite wearable and can be worn as a nail feature - to recreate it you would only need a use base and some embellishment of gold foil or gold leafing," says Danelle Barr.
