Who: We Are Handsome
When: 10am, May 19. The Runway, Carriageworks.
Hair: Garreth Lenagh for KMS
Hair look: “We've gone for an active look to go with the brand's modern swim collection. We have a wet look that is almost as though the model has come out of the shower and scraped it back off her face. We've got a natural texture to the hair. The way we've created that is by giving the girls' hair a bend with the tongs. We've then gone through with a Gel Wax and the Dry Wax from KMS - it has a wet appearance, but actually feels quite dry. Through the top we have given the hair some fine detail texture panelling which mimics the panelling from the clothes. The make-up is quite strong, so we wanted to pull all the hair back away from the face while still avoiding a ponytail. We've got some gold clips creating dishevelled detailing on the side of the girls' heads, and what that is doing is bringing the gold out of the trainers into the hair style. We started with the Hair Play range with Sea Salt, Gel Wax and Dry Wax and then we've used the Tame Defrizz Oil to soften any frizz."
Make-up: Nigel Stanislaus for Maybelline New York
Make-up look: “The girls are going to be fighters on the runway - quite gangster! We're giving the girls a velvety face with the Dream Velvet Foundation - giving them full coverage with a large brush buffing it in. We've got lots of highlight on the planes, down the bridge, in the middle of the eyes - it's really luminous with a sculpted cheek. Then we're using the Eyestudio Gel Pot Eyeliner in Black to paint in the brows and in the lips. We found the lips started looking a little blue, so we blended the Vivid Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Possessed Plum over the black to warm the lips up. Then we're using the Colossal Extreme Leather Black Mascara to layer on the lashes so they're spidery and like matchsticks."

Tan: Michael Brown for
Tan look: "Being an active wear brand, there's a lot of skin showing and a lot of colour with an edgy tough girl kind of look. We wanted to keep that tough girl image, so rather than having the bodies looking quite glowing and dewy and fresh, we thought we'd do a matte deeper tan so there's no sheen or oil-based products. We're using the Dark Classic Spray Mist and pulling back with the spray gun so it's misting on the body - landing on the more exposed and larger surface areas. We're doing two coats, so much more darker than the normal spray tans and Fashion Week tans you would see, but it will work well with the colours in the collection and the gold boots the girls are wearing."
Nails: Zoe Vokis for Manicare
Nail look: "The palette was in nude, black and gold. The final edit was a short soft squared natural nail with a naked moon and a high gloss black. We used the Mirror Shine Top Coat which gave it that beautiful gloss finish."
Hair accessories: Lizi Aston for Lady Jayne
Hair accessory look: "We're using the Gold Double Bar Pin, which has a rose gold effect. Because the hair has a sleek look to show off the costumes, the pin keeps the hair all in place and gives some colour and jewellery to the hair."
