Hair: Mark Rippon for
Hair style: "It is all about creating the hair that a woman would have that wears couture every day. It is a less energetic, very natural hair-do that is the type of style that kind of woman would just whip up herself. We have added the Shu Uemura products to dry out the texture, to give it a nice clean, natural and floating feeling. As a foundation for the hair we have used Shu Uemura Depsea Foundation and we have used Liquid Fabric to really dry it out and give it bulk and texture. We have also used the Sheer Lacquer Hairspray for hold," says Mark Rippon.
Make-up: Cristabel Draffin for Evohe
Make-up style: "It's all about being effortless. Evohe is a very natural brand, we are 100 percent natural Australian ingredients and it is very much coming from a skin care base. It uses all naturopathics and bush flower essences but it transforms the skin because it has an olive oil base, so it allows those natural ingredients to absorb into the skin. It's good for the models skin as well, we have been doing facials for them that leave a gorgeous base for make-up application. Lan Yu looked at the zodiac for the inspiration, and all of the gowns represent the nature of that archetype. It is all about radiant skin, we have used the Mineral Powder Foundation with the Evohe Repair Intensive that makes it a liquid, which is really revolutionary as it is creating a mineral liquid powder which has lots of hypoallergenic loveliness. We have done a lovely brow, and brown on the eyes using Banksy Brown Eyeshadow, rimming the eyes and adding lots of lashes. We are also using the Liquid Lips as a stain tapped onto the cheeks and on the lips as well. We are using the stain on the cheeks as it looks like real skin," says Cristabel Draffin.
