Who: House of Cannon
When: 11am, May 20. The Theatre, Carriageworks.

Hair: Jon Pulitano for

Hair look: "The brief for today had a detroit street vibe, so we wanted to give the hair a bit of a street look. We've done Rootful on the roots, blow dried it all back into this beautiful shape with a big low side part. Then we've used Shape Factor Wax all on the roots to comb it all in and give the right shape. The top is a little more greasy and the bottoms are dry - but we don't have a wet-to-dry texture, it's a very seamless transition. Hair is left out and dead straight, and we have a little plait in one side to give a streety vibe. We're securing the plait by spraying it with Forceful 23 Hairspray and then ironing over the plait so there's no elastic at the bottom, it's just kept their naturally." 

Make-up: Kellie Stratton for

Make-up look: "It's a complete street vibe, the faces are almost being left natural. There's concealer where necessary and we're using strobe cream to pick up highlights. We're using a mixture of Silver Fog Pigment and the Water Base Mixing Medium to do a sweep across the eyes to give a kick in the corners and through the lid area. We're then putting a little bit of Taupe Liner into the lash line. Every girl is having a custom-mixed different lip - so some have the same, some have different. We're mixing in some of the pigments for the lips just to get the right tone because there are quite a lot of brights in the collection as well as black and white."
