Who: Phoenix Keating
When: 4 pm, April 14, The Box, Carriageworks.
Hair: Alana Dunphy, Prema for
Hair style: "Today we're doing a couple of looks, but all are 90s inspired. It's a great era and we really wanted to showcase that in the hair. The first look is the zulu knots, which was very popular in the 90s. But instead of the geometric and gridded look, we're going to make the sections uneven and super sleek. The second look has more of a grungy, party girl vibe. We started by making it the hair dirtier and wetter, drying it as though she fell asleep on the couch and dented her hair. We then braid the hair underneath so that what's left on top and at the front is really whispy. Then we use mousse to set the hair and clip all of the front back. Products used are Catwalk by Tigi ,Tigi Bedhead, Tigi Bodifying Spray and Tigi Finishing Spray," says Alana Dunphy.
Make-up: Mikele Simone for Illamasqua
Make-up style: "Today we have taken inspiration from the 90s and the grunge look. We want it to look a bit like it's the morning after a big night, as though it's a bit worn. The eyes are adorned with a beetle shade that's multi-coloured, with green flecks. It's only the shadow on the eyes, no masacra. We want all of focus on the colour. It's a new take on the bronze smoky eye. We've kept the skin really fresh and dewy, but not perfect - we want it a bit undone and bold. The lips will then have a 90s fill, using deep lip liner, applied quite intensely around the edges and then left as is. The cheeks are quite structured and contoured, with highlighter perfecting that dewy look," says Mikele Simone.

Nail style: "The theme of the show is 90s party girl, Pheonix is channeling Gwen Stefani. He was really fixed on the idea of a stripe so we thought we'd try a negative space manicure, using just a base coat with a singular stripe down the middle of each nail. The stripe is the whitest colour from the essie range, Blanc," says Ali Magliveras.
