Who: Jennifer Kate
When: 1 pm, April 15. Elston Mezzanine, Carriageworks.
Hair: Marie Cain for Goldwell StyleSign
Hair style: "The hair is cool and undone but with a point of difference. Essentially it is a low slung, floaty bun but it's as if a guy had tied his hair back into a low ponytail - there's no worries about it, it's very relaxed and falling out. There's a lot of soft hair draping around the face so when the girl's walk down the runway you get that soft floatiness around the face. There's an interesting point of difference through the back because we've done a tight clean section cornrow braid. We've used the StyleSign Hot Form spray, we've saturated the dry hair with this, working it through from roots to end and then blasting it in to get a textured blowdry. After that we've gone through with the Dualsenses Ultra Volume Dry Shampoo, we've been very heavy-handed with that to give a chalky texture. We've then taken through the braid with the StyleSign Big Finish Volume Hairspray to give some shine," says Marie Cain.
Make-up: Nicola Burford for Gorgeous Cosmetics
Make-up style: "The make-up is very much inspired by the space. It feels like an art gallery, so the idea was born out of the idea of a girl looking around an art gallery and being consumed by absolutely every art work and colour and texture around her, so that it's translated on to her face. The girl is very young and fresh but essentially beautiful. We've created beautiful skin with lots of highlights, a really soft peach glow on the cheeks and the lips, but the eyes are made up of a paint - either a demim pastel blue or a pure orange. That's been dabbed over the top of a white paint to give a brush-stroke painterly effect and then finished off with Helen Dowsley's lashes," says Nicola Burford.

Lashes: Helen Dowsley for Helen Dowsley Lashes
Lash look: "Today we're putting individual lashes on so the girls look naturally blessed with beautiful thick lashes. We're not extending and we're not bringing them out, we're just thickening them out. We're putting some mediums on in the middle to open that eye up and then shorts on either side," says Helen Dowsley.
Nails: Karon McKendrick-Taylor for FABY Nail Lacquer
Nail look: "For Jennifer Kate we're doing a matte bright nail in Optical White with the Matte Topcoat over the top. Rather than the clothes, we're complimenting the stage," says Karon McKendrick-Taylor.
