Hair: Linda Fioraliso for Préma

Hair style: "The designers have worked with Aboriginal artists, they've taken their designs and put them into their fabrics. When we looked at the clothing it was very much about oranges, reds, yellows and blues - it was more about the earth - so we didn't want to do anything too high fashion. We thought a ponytail with a little bit of texture and a little bit of product would create that look. There's a braid to give it a bit of a twist and something new. We've used Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam for a lot of volume, Volumising Tonic for a lot of shine and a little bit of Control Force hair spray to lock in the braids," says Linda Fioraliso.

Make-up: Stephen Gaskett for

Make-up style:

"The look came from the direction given by the show's creative director Kelvin Harris who said he wanted the girls to 'look like the came from the earth'. Our national make-up artist Stephen Gaskett will be creating a contemporary nomadic look that is natural with warm, earthy, terracotta tones," says Elizabeth Arden Australian public relations manager Simone Cunico.

"We're going for that earthy tone, so to create the look we've gone for a matte foundation using Intervene Foundation. WIth the cheeks, Kelvin wanted that wind-burn look so we've gone for a terra rose blush with a bronzer over the top. With the lips, we've gone for a matte lipstick in ginger and we've finished it off with a bronzer over the top to give it a matte finish. The key products that we used for the look was our 8 hour for the brows and for the cheeks, our Intervene Foundation and to finish off the lip - we've used our Crystal Clear gloss," says Stephen Gaskett.
