Who: Albus Lumen
When: 11:00am, May 14, Carriageworks
Hair: Travis Balcke for BALMAIN hair couture
Hair look:
"Pablo and Picasso was the deisigner's vision for the show so we've created two looks with a masculine and feminine vibe for the hair. One of the looks is quite Spanish with a deep centre part, hair tucked behind the ears – we've created texture with the Volume Mousse and Stronghold Gel. We've extended the hair with some human hair extensions and we've created a long braid down the back of the hair to give a local Spanish girl vibe.
The girls with brushed out hair were prepped with a braid saturated in leave-in conidtioner. Once it was dry we brushed that through and enhanced it with dry shampoo.
Before the girls go out we're going to use the BALMAIN Silk Perfume which is an oil but gives a high shine gloss."
Make-up: Lara Srokowski for Lancôme
Make-up look:
"The inspiration I was given was a strong, confident, feminine look; but to also be quite unisex. We wanted femininity and masculinity so you will see that there's two looks. All the models have radiant skin as we've done our signature skin look – called the Parisienne Glow. For that use our iconic product Lancôme Advanced Génifique with a device that helps the product penetrate deeper into the skin and capture luminosity. Minimal foundation was used, but we used our Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation mixed with Teint Idole Ultra Wear Custom Glow Drops to create a dewiness and the illusion of a second skin by thinning out the texture. The glow drops are also used to highlight the skin.
Six models have a dedicated sun-kissed look inspired by girls making terracotta clay pots in the sun and having the clay splash up. The product we're using for this is an eyeshadow that we're launching in 2020."

Grooming/brows: Kristen Fisher
Grooming/brow look:
"We're doing a rich, textured, virgin brow today inspired by Spanish women with a dark brow. All the products used are my own [Kristen Fisher] and we've used a brow gel to brush them up, a pomade to set them in place and a powder to fill them in."
