MBFWA 2016: C/MEO Collective

See all the MBFWA 2016 backstage reports here.

Who: C/MEO Collective

When: 10.00am, May 18, The Runway, Carriageworks.

Hair: Lauren McCowan for evo

Hair look: “It’s an effortless, modern knot. We have two different looks - one is a figure eight knot right at the base of the neck, while the other is a mid-height twisted up bun. The hair needed to be off the face as the collection has lots of beautiful high necklines and really gorgeous fabrics, so the idea is to have it look almost as though the girls could do their own hair but with a slight hint of structure. We have used evo water killer through the roots and the front hairline to get a really cloudy finish, then scrape the hair back, place it in a low ponytail at the nape and twist it up and fold it down. The hair is then pulled into another elastic to hold into place and sown into the rest of the hair with really fine invisible crafting thread. When she walks down the runway it will be floaty and beautiful but there’s still enough structure to make it cool and modern.”

Make-up: Nigel Stanislaus for Maybelline New York

Make-up look: “It’s a beautiful, sculpted, warm look. It’s very vacation skin, the CELINE kind of girl. She never tries to hard - she’s chic, she’s effortless, she’s together. I can imagine her at the next table in Cannes. It’s all about the complexion - foundation pressed onto the sides of the nose, no contouring, just some Blushed Nudes palette washed over the eyes and whatever’s left on the brush is swept underneath. Terra Sun has been swept over the forehead, right under the jaw line, with Master Hi-Light also used to create a 'JLo' glow - right on top like a headband, an on the cheek. Nude Perfection pencil is then patted onto the lips to block out any rosiness. It’s a more sophisticated look than a rosy red. “
