See all the MBFWA 2017 backstage reports here.

Who: Dion Lee
When: 4:00pm, May 14, Sydney Opera House

Hair: John Pulitano for Redken
Hair look:
"The look is inspired by Dion Lee's highly anticipated Resort 2018 collections. We have adopted Lee's distinctive utilitarian aesthetic and signature detailing and the style exudes the unmistakable glamour of a resort escapade. The look is achieved by creating a middle part, smoothing the hair behind the ears. Redken's Rootful 06 Root Lifting Spray is then worked through the mid-lengths and ends. Using a tong, we've curled random sections of the mid-lengths to create definition and movement, then gently tousled to create an undone mood. Redken Wind Blown 05 Finishing Spray is then used throughout the hair from the roots of the ends to promote grip, texture and lightweight hold. We've then sprayed Redken Wind Blown 05 Dry Finishing Spray."

Make-up: Nigel Stanislaus for Maybelline
Make-up look:
“We're spending a lot of time customising the looks to make sure each girl is looking their best. We're not really doing makeup transformations per se but we want to bring out the best in their features. Each makeup artist will have to use their own formula in order to bring out the best in the models' features because everyone is different. The end story is effectively clean, beautiful makeup but we want the girls to look like their born with it. We've used a smart collection of colours. First we use the Superstay 24H Primer, that leaves the skin in great condition, and then we use the cushion foundation all over the face to make sure that it's even and nice but not too flat. Strobing is going to be a huge trend this season, we'll use it on the high planes, down the nose, top of the lip, chin to make sure the face is glowing. We use the Maybelline V-Face Contour and Highlight Duo Stick which is really easy to use. We then use the Brow Precise for feathering the hair and The Blushed Nudes Shadow Palette on the eyes.”
