Who: We Are Handsome
When: 8 pm, April 14. White City Tennis Club, Paddington.
Hair: Garreth Lenagh for KMS
Hair style: "We've got two looks. Because we're launching active, we've decided to keep the girls in an active look. The two looks we've got are during workout and post-workout. The first look we've done is a really textured knot, it's almost as if the girls have done it themselves, pulling it back just off to the side. It's not a centre knot, we really want it to look like they've done it themselves. Post-workout look is 'wet to dry'. We've called it 'wet to dry' because we've gone in with a little bit of the Wave Foam to give it that wet look at the front and then let their natural texture kick in so that it looks like they've stepped out of the shower and tied their hair up in a ponytail. So it's not too neat, we've tied the ponytail with really deconstructed elastics - we've left it all out and showing - which is something we did to help make it look like they'd done it themselves. Products we used for look one was the Tame Frizz Lotion, Tame Frizz Oil and the Playable Texture through the ends, and for look two, we've used Wave Foam, Hair Spray and Playable Texture," says Garreth Lenagh.
Make-up: Nigel Stanislaus for Maybelline New York
Make-up style: "The look is inspired by women with an ative lifestyle, so we're going to have the girl's make-up done like they're going to the gym. Skin offers a healthy glow, mascara adds definition and glamour, and then we're giving them power by adding a flash of silver - either from underneath the eyes up or from underneath the brow. It gives a superhero vibe and adds a little excitement," says Nigel Stanislaus.

Tan: Michael Brown for St.Tropez
Tan look: "The brief for us was that fitspo trend, active, it's all about that gym glow you get. We want the skin to be a bit warmer, to have that summery vibe, so we're using the Instant Tan in the deep colour because it has a more green undertone, giving an olive complexion. It makes the colours pop in the collection. Once the colour is deep enough, we're adding pops of light with the skin illuminator. The pops of light have a gold undertone that marry beautifully with the olive of the Instant Tan. This replicates the post-gym glow you get," says Michael Brown.
