Who: Karla Spetic
When: 3:00pm, May 14, Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club

Hair: Richi Grisillo for Oribe
Hair look:
"We really wanted to work with something quite relaxed because of Karla's aesthetic. We bought it back to something that quite quintessentially Karla because it's her tenth year as a designer. We worked with a strong volumnising spray – the Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray – through the roots, to create almost like a grunge pieceiness and then we've used a lightly oil-based blow dry spray for more of a silken gathered feeling. We've also used a Topsy Tail which really helps to add texture to the back of the hair. A lot of the girls have quite blunt, single length hairstyles so this tool helps create quite grungy layers."

Make-up: Mikele Simone for Smith & Cult 
Make-up look:
“The inspiration behind the look was to give the girls a translucent feel throughout, like they were being lit from within, a bit like a stain glass window. The skin isn't overly dewy, we've seen a lot of that in the past, so to modernise it, we've given it more of a pearlescent feel. The only thing that's glowing is the inner corner of the eye which gives the girls a lovely ethereal look. A lot of Karla's fabrics have got a beautiful sheer glow and that's what I wanted to achieve with the makeup. The colour palette is coral and we've used the same colour on the eyes and on the cheeks with the Smith & Cult Book of Sun Chapter 1 palette.

On the lips we're mixing two shades from the Smith & Cult Shining Lip Lacquer range: Milk for Hunny and Marriage No.2. The combination of the shades gives a hint of colour that's really soft and matches the cheeks. Eyebrows are simply gently brushed."
