Who: Nextgen
When: 11:00am, May 16, Carriageworks

Hair: Ben Martin for Redken
Hair look:
“With Nextgen, because it’s new designers and there’s a more youthful feel to the show, we’ve created two looks. One’s a very undone wave to simulate a young woman who doesn’t have very much time to do her hair, and the second look is a knot that replicates how younger people tend to bunch up the hair when they tie it up, but for the runway it’s a more refined take on this. Both looks will have an undone fluffiness and a billowy feel to them when the models walk down the runway. We’ve used Redken Wind Blown 05 and Redken Fashion Waves 07, which is part of the Redken Runway Ready range, to prep the hair and give it a texture and dryness. This means that when we do go through with the setting it’s not going to be weighed down by product.”

Makeup: Anna Papadopoulos for Napoleon Perdis
Makeup look:
“The look is a little bit rustic. A lot of work has been done with just blending in and moulding with fingers and everything is a little blown out. There are no harsh lines. We’ve done a really beautiful coppery-smokey, medium intensity eye. For this we’ve used Napoleon Perdis Colour Disc Eye Shadow in Copper Topper and to round the lash line for a bit of definition we’ve used Napoleon Perdis Mesmer-Eyes Mascara which is really rich and thick. We’ve used three coats on top and one on the lower lashes. Around that we’ve used the Napoloeon Perdis Brown Sugar Pencil but really fused out. On the cheeks we’ve used one of our new Napoleon Perdis Miss Jean Lipsticks in MJ 10 and on lips we’ve gone for a rosy stain using the Napoleon Perdis Mattetastic Lipstick in Marlena which is the fused out with the fingertips. The skin has been left bare on most of the models but we made sure it looked really hydrated and luminous on all the high points of the face.”
