Who: Christopher Esber
When: 7:00pm, May 16, MCM House, Paddington
Hair: Richard Kavanagh for Redken
Hair look:
"The context is teenage hair, slightly boyish, teenage hair. We've got a clean centre part with hair staying close to the head - we want it to look like teenage girl hair. We want the hair to feel like it's just 'in a moment' but to achieve that we have to do quite a lot of prep work to contain it. Then right before the girls walk, I'll run my hands through it to give a bit of texture. The girls who have thicker, coarser hair, we've used Redken One United Multi-Benefit Treatment and on the girls with thinner, softer hair we're using Redken Guts to thicken it up. We'll blow dry the product into the hair to make sure it doesn't look like there's anything holding it up."
Makeup: Janelle Erika for Mecca Cosmetica
Makeup look:
"We're inspired by the Mediterranean, so keeping the skin fresh and raw, and we're going for more of an androgynous look. We prepped the skin with the Clean Slate Micellar Water and the Hydrating Moisturiser which is perfect for underneath makeup and gives a beautiful glow. We then started with the base, the In A Good Light Tinted Moisturiser, and added a bit of highlight with the Lit From Within Primer before using the Enlightened Lit From Within Illuminating Balm which is a beautiful cream balm that gives a real luminosity to the high points of the face. That's just worked in with the finger tips. To intensify that and to lock it into place we've used The Enlightened Trio palette. To finish it all off on the lips we have the Tinted Lip De-Luscious Lip Balm in Nude. We've brushed the brows up with a little spritz of the All Set Makeup Perfecting Mist on a mascara wand."
