Who: Gary Bigeni
When: 8 pm, April 13. The Runway, Carriageworks.
Hair: Richard Kavanagh for Redken
Hair style: "What we wanted to create was an effortlessly cool, very youthful, almost teenage-like hair. We wanted it to look like it's just been freshly washed and then tucked behind the ears and left to dry. So to do this we shampooed and conditioned the hair, towel dried it and and applied a couple of drops of Redken Diamond Oil into the mid-lengths and ends. We then used the Redken Pillow Proof Primer for some heat protection, before parting it down the middle and blow-drying with a bristle brush. Using a pure bristle brush allows you to smooth the oils all the way through the hair for a compact, highly polished surface. We then tucked the hair behind the ears and used a curling iron to put a tiny little bend in front of the ear, as though it'd been tucked there for a while. We then clipped it into place to cool. Once cool, we let it go, letting the hair come out from behind the ears so it has a little curtain wear it hangs, opening up just near the cheek bones. We finish off with Redken Fashion Work 12 to tame any flyaways. " says Richard Kavanagh.
Make-up: Nigel Stanislaus for Maybelline New York
Make-up style: "Today we're going for a very beautiful, peachy, youthful look. We want to represent innocence and happiness - every girl should look dainty. So to do this we're applying a base of Maybelline Dream Wonder Foundation for a velvety finish. Then there is the blue pigments on the eye, which we want to look like a sticker - kind of like a jigsaw puzzle piece. We've kept the shape round, with semi-rectangular edges and customised it depending on the eye shape of each girl. It almost looks like a bubble. Then we curl the lashes and apply just a single coat of mascara for a subtle, pretty look. For the cheeks, we're applying bronzer ever so gently on the apples down towards the jaw, rather then up towards the ear. For the lips we're keeping it very natural, by using just Maybelline Baby Lips," says Nigel Stanislaus.

Nails: Ali Magliveras for essie
Nail look: "Today we've done a negative space mani, which in this case is a clear base with a half moon that's white. So to start we've used the essie ridge-filler base coat to hide any imperfections, then painted on the half moon with the shade Blanc and finished with the essie quick-e drying drops." says Ali Magliveras.
