Who: Swim
When: 9:30am, May 14, Carriageworks
Hair: Katy Reeve for Toni & Guy
Hair look:
"With Swim there are four designers so we have four different looks. Our first designer is Fella and we're working with a low ponytail and keeping everything very slick, very shiny, very high gloss. The second designer is Duskii and for that we've two looks – one has a very beachy, very lived-in natural wave to the hair and a couple of the models will have their hair up in a very loose, soft top knot with a little hair scarf wrapped around. Then we've got Camp Cove which is all about individuality. For this we wanted to work with the models natural hair shape and texture so leaving curls and natural waves as they are. And the last designer is Pam Pam which is all about the soft, 90s, grunge rock curl – think Claudia Schiffer with a natural bounce that moves with the models walk. We've been working a lot with Toni & Guy Sea Salt Spray Texturising Spray, Toni & Guy High Definition Spray Wax Spray to give a really high shine and hold and good old hairspray – can't beat it!"
Make-up: Kate Squires for Napoleon Perdis
Make-up look:
“We've got four different looks so each of the designers has their own time to shine. For Fella, a brand that's quite traditional and beachy, the look is fresh, natural and dewy. We gave the skin a really good cleanse with our Milk Cleanser, this retextures the skin and makes it look really soft and creamy. Then we've literally added moisturiser and a bit of coverage if the girls need it with a really good lick of mascara and gloss on the lips.
For Camp Cove we've had a little bit more fun because there's more of a street vibe. Again, skin is fresh and natural but we've added a pop of colour to the eye and an elegant little wing at the corner of the lid. This is either in a pastel mint or more of a marigold orange-yellow colour. There's a nice glossy sheen on the cheek bone and a nude-matte peach on the lip.
Duskii is a little bit more resorty and the girl is super bronzed and luminous. We've done a bronze smoky eye which is all quite shimmery and then there's a nice accent of gold on the centre of the lid. There's lots of mascara, a metallic shine on the cheekbones and we've contrasted that with a nude matte on the lips which is the new Total Bae Patrol It! Lip Squad in Spinning. It's a burnt peach and works really well across lots of different skin tones.
Lastly for Pam Pam there's a bit of a contrast, so this girl is a little bit more Brigitte Bardot, a little bit more rock n' roll. So the skin for this is quite matte but still with a beautiful sunkiss and we're smoking up the eye with a classic sixties wing. There's also an accent of pink on the eye. There's lots of mascara to keep it feminine and sexy and we've gone for a nude on the lips.”
