Who: Rebecca Vallance
When: 4 pm, May 16. The Theatre, Carriageworks.
Hair: Violet Sainsbury for
Hair look: “The inspiration comes from the collection - we really wanted to stay true to the brand's aethestics of being a little structured but also a little feminine and playful. Through the front, we've gone for a slick look. We're using a combination of the Heat Styling Protection and the Styling Gel and we're securing everything behind the ear. We want that area to be so shiny that as the runway lights hit the hair, you see that shiny band and it's very reflective. Everything below the ear, we're just doing a regular blow-out - just really soft and bouncy. For that, we're using a combination of the Styling Gel and the Oil Treatment."
Make-up: Carol Mackie for
Make-up look: “Rebecca Vallance wanted the make-up to be slightly Palm Springs - so it has that resort feel to it. It's very creamy and very fresh, with the models looking healthy. Some of the girls are having a red lip, and some aren't. We've got a highlight going on using the Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel mixed with Cream Colour Base that gives a golden glow to the skin. That is used on the high planes of the face - so on the cheekbones, down the centre, down the nose, down the cupid's bow. On the eyes, we're using a couple of shades from the M.A.C Trend Forecast Fall 16 Eye Palette. Brows, we've got the Big Brow Pencil brushed slightly through the brow, and then we're brushing them up with Clear Brow Set to keep them in place and lift up the brow - it's not overly drawn on."

Tan: Michael Brown for
Tan look: “Today for Rebecca Vallance, we wanted nothing too changing of the skin - so we're just lifting the girl's body tones. It's all about healthy, active skin. We're using luxe dry oil, spraying it on so it dries quicker but leaves a beautiful sheen. The oil-based factor really nourishes the skin - so it resembles that healthy, active lifestyle look."
