Hair: Jon Pulitano for Redken
Hair style: "The inspiration was spring flowers in Paris. Being a couture collection, we wanted to do the hair up with a bun, but we thought we would add a little detail to it. Because it's couture and because it is such a beautiful collection we just wanted to make it a bit more modern and futuristic. We have put the hair into a centre part and used Redken Fashion Works 12 to put the pony tail in, leaving a couple of sections around the front. Those sections we have saturated with Redken Forceful 23 Hairspray, and then with a three-pronged waving tong we put a thick wave in that we secure with bobby pins. Then we put the back area into a bun," says Jon Pulitano.
Make-up: Klara Sabotkoski for Klara Cosmetics.
Make-up style: "We are trying to keep the girls very luminous, so they are beautiful and reflective. They are full of that inner and external beauty walking down the catwalk, and we wanted to create a dimension of white crystals on the face. What we want to do is make the actual eye colour stand out, the beautiful lids. It is almost like back in the 18th centuries when the girls didn't have much make-up on. They would highlight the cheeks, the inner lips and around the sides of the eyes, which is what we want to achieve, so that when the light hits them we get that strong look. With Betty Tran's couture and her strong beautiful gowns are all about that gorgeous woman. We have kept the skin as matte as possible, and we try to keep it as close to natural as we can. We really want to keep that 'teenage eyebrow before waxing' look, so we are giving them a bit of an extension and giving them more texture. We have put a small amount of glitter on the lids, and just in the middle where the eyeballs are we have created a white and diamond shadow. For the lips, we have used a light amount of lipstick with a touch of shimmer," says Klara Sabotkoski from Klara Cosmetics.
