Who: Bondi Bather
When: 2 pm, May 19. The Box, Carriageworks.

Hair: Philip Barwick for

Hair look: “Our Bondi Bather girl is someone who has an outdoor lifestyle but she lives close to the inner city as well - so she's basically a glamorous utilitarian type. What we've done with the hair is two different braided designs with a sporty-come-fashion edge to it. One look has the one central braid and the other is splitting the hair in half with a centre part with braids down the sides. To get these looks, we've firstly used our Pillowproof Express Primer for heat protection and we've also coupled that with one of our volumises - the Rootful 06 - which is applied to dry hair. We then do a directional blowdry to get the hair back from the face and sitting up on the sides - which makes it easier with our sectioning. We then do our three strand braid - tie it off at the ends and then use the new Tripletake Finishing Spray to finish up the design."

Make-up: Janeen Brown for Harlotte Cosmetics

Make-up look: "Today is the most beautiful luminous skin, so we want that transient luminosity coming through. We've got a very bronzed up eye and a thick lash on top of that to complement the girl's look. There is a bronzed cheek with loose powder over that. We have a white centre part on the cupid's bow of the lip and then a glossy lip to follow through."
