Who: Watson x Watson
When: 2 pm, April 13. The Runway, Carriageworks.
Hair: Philip Barwick for Redken
Hair style: "The hair at Watson x Watson reflects health, it's lifestyle driven and effortless beauty. The whole thing is that she would have shampooed her hair, tied it up while she was doing her make-up and chatting to friends, taken it out just before she goes out - and that's the result. The movement starts from the cheekbones and then billows through. We started off with our Pillowproof Primer, it works as a heat protectant and speeds up the drying. We then have two volumising products that we work through the hair in abundance - Redken's Rootful 06 and Guts 10 - that is put through the hair until it's very damp. We then dried that into the hair not using any brushes and made sure it was totally dry. Once dry, we brushed it out to give the hair a volumised feel. We then divide it into three at the side, back and the top. The bit at the nape of the neck is wound clockwise, the next section is wound anti-clockwise and then the top is wound clockwise off the face. We then finished with our Windblown 05 to give that elemental feel to it," says Philip Barwick.
Make-up: Victoria Curtis for Curtis Collection
Make-up style: "The look is day fresh glow. We've gone for a luminous, dewy finish that looks really fresh on everybody's skin, very wearable. Basically it's all about illuminator and perfect skin - really amping up that luminosity and glow and adding that into the foundation. We've striped the Radiant Glow Illuminator down the cheek bone and the bridge of the nose and we've used our Airbrush Concealer in a V technique - colouring the corner of the nose to the corner of the eye - which elevates the face and adds a glow instantly. This makes the eyes sparkle and the cheekbones come alive. Then we contoured with our Illuminating Bronzer and finished with a strong brow using our Brow Tint and a lip gloss on the lips in a coral-peach colour," says Victoria Curtis.

Lashes: Helen Dowsley for Helen Dowsley Lashes
Lash style: "Today we're using New Love, which is a light, fresh lash. Rather than elongating the lash, it has a higher point in the middle so it opens the eye," says Helen Dowsley.
Nails: Karon McKendrick-Taylor for FABY Nail Lacquer
Nail look: "The nails are a deep navy blue with a silver undertone and then we've got waves of glitter over the top of that. The waves are not precise, it's not over the whole nail, it migt just be on the tip, it might be down the side. We used Save the Drive-In and The Milky Way," says Karon McKendrick-Taylor.
Tan: Rebecca Colalillo for Glow by Beca
Tan style: "The tans are all about an effortless natural tan - giving them that slight glow to complete the look. We used the Chocolate Ash Mousse self tan," says Rebecca Colalillo.
