IXIAH backstage report - Tuesday June 1, 2021

HAIR BY:

De Lorenzo stylist and ambassador, Brad Ngata

INSPIRATION:

"We’re bringing a cool girl energy to hair, so it's undone and it's textured," said Ngata. "We’re kind of embracing new quirky textures in the hair, instead of pulling it out and manipulating it. We’re working with the girls’ natural texture but kind of elevating it a little bit. It’s a little bit flyaway and it’s a little bit imperefct."

GET THE LOOK:

"Use De Lorenzo Densify, a spray gel at the roots and blow dry it in to give traction and grip. Then use Quick Sand, a mattifying texture powder applied through the hair to build and give the flyaway texture.

KEY PRODUCTS:

- De Lorenzo Densify
- De Lorenzo Quick Sand

MAKEUP BY:

Hair and makeup director, Sarah Laidlaw

INSPIRATION:

"It’s all about flushed cheeks and perfected skin," said Laidlaw. "There’s a little smattering of faux freckles across the nose, a gloss on the lid and just generally that healthy, pretty just gorgeous luminous girl walking down the runway."
