Who: Raffles International Showcase
When: 11:00am, May 18, Carriageworks
Hair: Philip Barwick for Redken
Hair look:
“We wanted a universal look for this show because there are quite a lot of designers being featured. We’ve got a combination of textures both wet and dry. We’ve taken a large portion of the hair - some of the girls have a lot - and we’ve braided it away to make the hair leaner and give it a more streamlined silhouette. Then we’re creating a zigzag pattern by giving the hair a very deep set side parting. The products we’ve used to achieve this are Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Treatment Primer Cream which provides heat protection, we’ve then gone in with Redken Rootful 06 and a directional blow dry so we can set the hair in bit by bit. We’re finishing with Redken Triple Take 32 which is quite a strong spray but still moveable if needs be. We’ve compressed the shape and pushed it into the hair and covered it with netting to set - It can be a little challenging to get the hair to be anti-gravity with a style like this if you know what I mean.”
Makeup: Independent makeup artist
Makeup look:
“I wanted to bring the fresh energy of the new designers in the bold strokes across the eye. We’ve applied it roughly but it’s still powerful. This contrasts with the dewy skin which we’ve slightly contoured. There is a little bit of mascara on top but that’s it. We’ve kept things very simple as we wanted the bright stroke to be the standout element.”
