Who: Wang Yutao
When: 6 pm, April 15. The Theatre, Carriageworks.
Hair: Philip Barwick for Redken
Hair style: "Our hair for Wang Yutao has a 60s vibe to it. The actual clothing has a nod to the 60s, so we wanted to make the hair a modern, rougher, texturised rendition of that. We've worked with elements including volume at the crown, a low parting, and sweeping fringes that are part of that era. We wanted to put texture in the hair to give it that young Rolling Stones-type feel, almost a bit dandy. For our boys, we used Redken Rootful 06 to give the hair a lifted effect, then we used the Shape Factor 22 and roughly raked it into the hair to give a dewy wetness. Next, we used a large barrel curling iron to put a young Mick Jagger-esque curl in the hair. With the girls, we gave them a directional blow dry using the Rootful 06. At the nape, we braided out the hair to give it a collapsed feel. Then we worked through lots of Rootful 06 to make it damp and used some Guts at the temple. We roughly used a large-barelled curling iron at the back and then pinned it in and finessed it around the ears to give it a really nice broken-down feel," says Philip Barwick.
Make-up: Meg Forrester for Evohe
Make-up style: "The look is mysterious, sultry glow with a depth and intensity brought by the fierceness of the eye look. I'm giving the girls a dewy healthy glow with out mineral powder mixed with the 369 Omega. We've done a nude lip and used a slight pink tone on lips and the cheek and then they have a dramatic and intense eye look," says Meg Forrester.

Skin: Ai San Beaumont for
Skin look: "We created a basic skin ritual backstage at Wang Yutao's show. He's really after that moist, dewy skin so we used Cleansing Water Eye and Face and our Eye Makeup Remover to remove any make-up residue. We then rebalanced with our Softening and Balancing Toner, and we did the signature La Prairie eye massage using the Platinum Eye Essence to improve the illuminosity and plump the skin, then we applied Skin Caviar Instant Lift which is a facelift in a bottle," says Ai San Beaumont.
