Who: Ixiah
When: 4 pm, April 15. The Box, Carriageworks.
Hair: Clive Allwright for KMS
Hair style: "We wanted to do something completely different to what we did last year. We've gone for the opposite to last year's show, which is sleek and which is elegant. We are working with a disconnected ponytail created with a hair piece woven into the hair accessory. Even though this hair style is quite a statement, it's not over-the-top - this look is elegant, feminine and rather simplistic. What we've done is use the Add Volume Mousse to give the hair a lot of structure, we've done a lot of ironing using the H2D Irons and finished with the Anti-humidity spray to leave a lot of gloss and a lot of shine," says Clive Allwright.
Make-up: Tre Dallas for
Make-up style: "I interpreted the tribal aesthetic of the clothing with a beautiful flicked line on the eyes. The dresses are quite flowy and sexy so I wanted to keep the make-up subtle. We used two different liners with the look - a white pencil as a base and a gold eyeshadow to give that beautiful line. The skin we kept very dewy and contoured using the AC ON TOUR kit. I want the make-up to be there, but it's not - very subtle overall. We also used All Over Face & Body Tint on the skin - it's a tint but it gives you a bit more coverage. This keeps the skin really light and fresh, and creates a base for the contouring. Those two products are just like food and water for me, they are so essential, especially if you want to recreate the look for yourself," says Tre Dallas.

Tan: Sharon Blockley for Fake Bake
Tan look: "To complement the clothes we wanted to create a goddess-like look, using a lot of light-reflective tones. We just wanted to accentuate what the natural skin tones of the models with a natural glow. Skin was first prepped with Fake Bake Smoothing Oil, which is just a dry oil to give the skin a bit of moisture before the tan and add a bit of a dewy look. On top of this we have used the Fake Bake Bronzer to provide a deeper tan, the Faux Glo on those with paler skins for a nice bronzed look, and then the tinted body glow has been used over most of the tans as a highlighter. We've used this to highlight and contour the shoulder and collar bones, and down the front of the legs.
