Who: Serpent & The Swan
When: 9 pm, April 13. Precinct 75, 70 Edith St, St Peters.
Hair: Koh Tanyawanichapong for O&M
Hair style: "We wanted the hair to look as though they've just come out of the shower. Fresh, nice and effortless. The collection is very wearable, so we wanted the hair to be just as easy-going. We start by manipulating the hair a lot, using thickening spray and leave-in conditioner. We then apply O&M Project Sukuroi to the ends to make the hair smooth, but still with some texture. Once we've layered on the hair products, we then blow-dry the hair using fingers to work through the heat rather than a brush. We leave the hair once it's semi-dry so that it still looks wet. Products used are O&M Know Knot, O&M Atonic, O&M Rootalicious, O&M Style Guru and O&M Sukuroi," says Koh Tanyawanichapong.
Make-up: Kimberly Forbes for oneninetynine management
Make-up style: "The look tonight is fresh, dewy skin with a tribal marking on the girls faces. The collection uses the colours white, black and blue - like the sea and fossilation, so the make-up ties in with that. For the skin we've applied three to four layers of different moisturisers, as well as cream highlighters and contours, which we've applied subtly. Lip scrubs is another key product we've used to achieve that young, fresh look. For the tribal markings on the eyes, every girl has a different design. Some have white, while some have black, depending on their skin tone. The lines and designs of each change depending on the girl's eye shape and face shape. To create the tribal markings we've used a panstick and rope. We rub the rope through the panstick and then roll the rope over the eyes to create lines that look more like an imprint. We want the lines to look worn and lived in, just like the lines of a fossil," says Kimberly Forbes.
