Who: Roopa Pemmaraju
When: 12:00pm, May 16, Carriageworks

Hair: Paloma Rose Garcia for Redken
Hair look:
"The hair is really beautiful for this show, as you can see it’s just very healthy and gorgeous. What we did was step by step create a really beautiful blow dry using the Pillow Proof Primer, because I really want all of the girl's hair to look expensive and shiny; and obviously there’s so much influence from that Indian theme throughout the show - and obviously Indian women have really gorgeous, healthy hair. Then we’ve used a large barrel tong to create a lazy ‘S’ bend through the hair. We used Forceful 23 Hairspray before we tong, and for a few of the girls with longer hair we’ve put in some plaits as well. So it’s very simple, but I think it’s going to look very beautiful.”

Makeup: Lara Srokowski for Lancôme
Makeup look:
"We’re going for that grungy look, but there’s a lot of playful colours in the collection so we’ve kept that in mind. We’ve taken our Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl Waterproof pencil in black and smudged it through the lash line then blended up; so the idea is that you want it to look like she’s gone to sleep with her makeup on and woken up with this smokey eye look. We’ve just added a bit of Hypnôse Mascara, brown on the bottom lashes and black on the top lashes just to balance the eye, and brows have been left quite nude so we have that really strong focus on the eye. The lip we’re layering a few different nude shades to keep it quite natural looking and lip balm-y. We’re using our Effacernes Concealer to prepare the eye, and conceal the face. For the base we’ve used two primers mixed together - La Base Pro and the Lancôme Eclat Miracle. The foundation we’re using is our Miracle Cushion and we’re doing a slight bit of contour but keeping it natural so it looks like the natural contours of the face."
