Who: Cynthia Rowley

When: 7pm, May 19, The Runway, Carriageworks.

Hair: Richard Cavanagh for 

Hair look: “The look was inspired by a jet-set, resort lifestyle - we have created a two strand, rope braid for the show. The look I created for the show exudes the collection’s diversity and international resort mood. Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam created flexible control, and Powder Grip 03 Texturizing Hair Powder was used to create the matte, undone texture. "

Make-up: Nicole Thompson for

Make-up look: “It’s fun and fresh. The collection isn’t too serious, and we wanted a look that will go with a whole range of different outfits as both Ready To Wear and Surf and Sun will be shown. We chose a bright lip but we also wanted to keep that fun, fresh Aussie vibe - that ultimate sheeny skin. We’ve conditioned it with my favourite pre-done mix - half Fix+, half softening lotion, and 10-15 drops of the Careblend Oils. It was sprayed onto the skin and massaged in - it creates almost a glaze rather than a moisturiser. The skin is also highlighted and sheered out like a glazed donut, and with the highlighter placed on first we didn’t need as much foundation. The lip has been created to look like a neoprene texture. It’s a matte lip in a custom watermelon shade then Magenta Madness pigment is patted over the top and the edges blurred to keep it young and fresh."
