Who: Strateas.Carlucci

When: 11 am, April 13. The Theatre, Carriageworks.

Hair: Todd Arndt for La Biosthetique

Hair style: "Today's hair we wanted to achieve very glossy, healthy, expensive-looking hair. The style is loosely tonged in the mid-lengths using La Biosthetique Volume Mousse. We've got a simple side part on the right, the hair is heavily hanging over the left eye, with just a little bit of movement in the mid-lengths. It's uncomplicated and compliments the Strateas.Carlucci designs. I've used the Volume Mousse from roots to ends and blow-dried it in with a round brush to give it that expensive glossy look. We've then tonged it and used a Volume Powder at the roots to give it some extra oomph," says Todd Arndt.

Make-up: Gordon Espinet for M.A.C

Make-up style: "The definition of the look is effortless luxury. Because the clothes have really luxurious tailoring and fabrics, pairing back on hair and make-up was really important. The make-up is really about the woman's face and not the make-up - each girl is just looking like herself. Ultimately it's male grooming - we're doing the same make-up on the boys as the girls. I say male grooming because it's all about lots of skincare. We've given them all a boyish brow using products in a lighter colour so that even though the brow is fuller, it's not dark. It's not to look Eastern European, it's about looking innocently tailored. It's a tailored face, there's no strong feature that comes out. The one element that we added is to give them that look like they're in cold weather. No mascara," says Gordon Espinet.
