The intersection between fashion and beauty hits the runway this week at Australian Fashion Week 2017 with amazing beauty looks created from Australia’s most talented artists in the world of makeup and hair. We’ve picked some of our favourite beauty looks from the first three day and go behind the scenes of how they were created.
REDKEN FOR ALBUS LUMEN
John Pulitano’s Hair Look for the Albus Lumen Show was inspired by the romance of a European Summer escapade with a distinct resort mood.“The Albus Lumen Hair Look exudes the laid-back glamour of the Italian Riviera. I enhanced the soft texture and amplified the lived-in mood with REDKEN Fashion Waves 07 Sea Salt Spray.”
Creating the look involved preparing the hair by liberally spraying REDKEN Rootful 06 Root Lifting Spray throughout the roots and lengths of damp hair, and then roughly blow dry to accentuate the fly away, soft texture. Then using a medium tong, John ran the tong through the hair leaving the ends out and spritzing the hair with REDKEN Fashion Waves 07 Sea Salt Spray and allowed to dry. The hair was then sprayed all over with REDKEN Wind Blown 05 Dry Finishing Spray to finish the look and enhancing the undone texture.
