Kate Sylvester SS18 hair and makeup wrap-up

Who: Kate Sylvester SS18
When: 6:30pm, April 5, China Heights, 16/28 Foster St, Surry Hills.

Hair: John Pulitano for Redken

Hair look:
"The look we've gone for has quite a whimsical feel, there's lots of colour and we want them to look windblown. We want the girls to take on their own persona, so girls with curls are keeping those but girls with no curls will get some added movement and texture but in an irregular kind of way. We're using a tong but we're curling in a couple of different directions and then shaking it out and brushing it at the end. 

The key products we're using are Fashion Waves 07 and Rootful 06 – those are going to give a real fly away kind of texture and a beachy feel. After the tonging is done we're going to use a mixture of Pillow Proof and Windblown which is more of a dry shampoo.

On the girls with curls we're using the Curvaceous CCC Spray and the Curvaceous Curl Refiner Primer. Start with that on wet hair which provides moisture, and set with the CCC Spray. After the diffuse dryer has been used we'll go in with Windblown."

Makeup: Panda Peng for Shu Uemura 

Makeup look:
"The show is all about happiness and freedom, the red balloons are a symbol of that! I've actually bought a lot of colour into the look with a renewed version of Color Atelier - 100 eye shadow shades inspired by Tokyo (but these ones aren't out until late June). Kate picked about seven different colours for the looks and I've used whichever one is suitable for the skin tone. For example, some of the blues might look green on Asian skin so we've avoided that. For the face it's a really glowy look using purely face oil.

We've used lip balm only on the lips and on the eyes a big pop of colour. It's a thick line that's blended up a bit, no cat eyes, just a smudge – perfection comes from imperfection!"
