Who: Aurelio Costarella
When: 6pm, April 30. The Tent, Overseas Passenger Terminal.
Inspiration: A botanic and equestrian feel inspires the look.
Hair: Lee Preston for Goldwell Professional
Hair style: "The inspiration we were given from the designer is a botanical and equestrian feel, so I wanted to think about the horse's tail and what was going on in that. I wanted to keep it really clean and directional, so that's where the ponytail's coming from. Rather than just doing a ponytail, we've taken it that one step further by putting two together and tying them together in a knot. To add a bit of drama for the catwalk, we've mixed chalk powder with some gel, and we're just going to paint that on the front just so it gives it more of a striking feel. I wanted to keep the hair minimal and more directional rather than go big and fluffy because the clothes are so detailed," says Lee Preston.
Make-up: James Molloy for
Make-up style: "This look has definitely got a gothic element about it. It's a very rounded, shadowy eye. It's not about eye shadow, it's about natural shadow. We've used a big brush to wrap the shade right around through the brow. It's slightly 1920s, with a little bit of sadness to the eye. We've started with that, and then we've blended together a wasabi-like tone to press onto the lid. Then to finish, we're taking one of the M.A.C pigments towards the outside of the eye. Skin is really polished, pretty as usual, but then to make it a little bit sweet, I'm taking a creme colour and pressing it right onto the apple of the cheeks. So even though it's a little bit dark and shadowy, there is still some sweetness about it."
