Who: Di$count Universe
When: 6pm, May 18. The Theatre, Carriageworks.
Hair: Renya Xydis for Wella Professionals
Hair look: “It's all about a coloured pony tail. It's like My Little Pony hair meets a little bit of 90s ghetto. The pony tails [featuring long dyed hair extensions] hit the ground when they walk - so it looks very interesting from afar. We've coloured in hair pieces in Wella colours to make it look real - there's no synthetic colours on there. The ponytail is done mainly with hairspray Ocean Spritz at the roots and then we're using StayStyle hairspray to pull it tight."
Make-up: Nicole Thompson for
Make-up look: “The Di$count Universe show is all about gloss, gloss, gloss, colour, colour, colour. There's a lot of shiny things in the collection - so gloss was the main thread that goes through all of the bonkers looks. The base of the looks is a beautiful raw skin because we wanted to make sure it had a cool factor, so you're not seeing too much foundation. There's a bright royal blue going through the collection - so we're doing eyes oozing blue tears, kind of like a cartoon if anything. We're using acrylic paints, mixing two colours - High Definition Cyan and Marine Ultra - together and then applying with a tiny brush and a wobbly hand. We've got blood mouths, which is the hero of the looks as most of the girls have the blood mouth. It's basically an oozing blow-up doll blood lip. We're overdrawing the lips and we're using Cherry Lip Pencil, Crimson Lip Mix and Clear Lip Glass. Then we have a bunch of half faces and different multicoloured looks - we've got black eyes with Feline Pencil and Carbon Eyeshadow finished in Lip Glass. It's just about these sharp, bold looks with blurred edges."
