Who: Emilia Wickstead X MATCHESFASHION.COM
When: 1:00pm, May 15, Wylie's Baths, Coogee

Hair: Katy Reeve for Toni & Guy
Hair look:
"There's been quite a strong story for the girls today, it's fifties and sixties inspired and the hair is lending itself to the beach, the ocean and the fashion. We were driven by the location of the show and what better excuse to go with a just-out-of-the-pool wet look. For us it was about ensuring we had the right texture, the hair needed to look wet but not be wet. Some of the girls are wearing head wear so it was also about placement, making sure that you can still see the hair despite it being slightly covered.

In terms of product we combined something with a matte texture, with a shine texture – the label.m Soufflé and the label.m Sleek Blow Out Cream. The latter is like a primer, its quite loose with a translucent feel. We wanted a glisten to finish and for that we might use plain old water!"

Make-up: Isabella for La Roche Posay 
Make-up look:
"We used a sun protection first, because of the environment we're in, but for us today it was all about achieving the most flawless beautiful skin. We did that with lots of cleansing – two or three times in fact – and massaging. This was to bring the blood back to the surface of the skin. We used a jade roller to get the circulation started, to create luminosity and add a bit of colour. Then we edited a little bit more with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Teint Bronzing Powder but we focused on using the peach shade only. We popped it where it the girls would naturally flush and then on the eyelid before adding a gloss. We used a tiny bit of mascara on the base of the lash and popped the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Lips on the lips. Finally we used the Thermal Water to ensure the girls looked like they have been drenched a little bit."
