Hair: Jayne Wild for ghd

Hair style: "The whole inspiration was a masquerade party. Fernando did not ever want traditional masks. The brief was something very untraditional, quite strong. So we were calling them face-cinators, not fascinators. They're quite ornate, heavy masks that the girls are wearing but there are simple pieces as well. Any hair we did, Fernando didn't want overdone - simple. Every girl's hair is different and every mask is different. The hair is the mask on some girls, but all the masks are also made out of hair which we've been doing for the last two weeks. They're all individualised. Products we've used include the ghd Heat Protect, some ghd Volume Foam and everything is being put together with ghd Final Fix hairspray," says Jayne Wild.

Make-up: Kate Squires for 

Make-up style: It's a masquerade party and Jayne's doing amazing masks that she's made from hair. Fernando's main thing was that he didn't want the make-up to be too Venetian, it's a little more rock and roll and rough around the edges. With the make-up, he said he wants it to still be beautiful and polished but like it was once upon a time perfected and it's now worn a little bit. We're doing it in a way that it's starting to look a bit smudgy, but it still looks beautiful. We're using a lot of black around the eye and winging it out and extending it. It's a bit 60s inspired. The rest of the face is quite neutral. We're working contours quite a bit because the room is really dark so we want to make sure they've all got beautiful sculpture to their face. For the models we're doing a nude lip and then tweaking that for each of the celebrities [the show is featuring eight celebrities including Kym Ellery and Lara Bingle] and tweaking the eye a little bit. It's black and greys and taupes being used on the eyes,” says Kate Squires.
