Backstage at Mercedes Benz Sydney Fashion Week

Sydney Fashion week is in full swing for 2012 and we have been busy little bee’s buzzing around the overseas passenger terminal with Kms hairspray in hand styling the models locks for the runways.

Here we have our backstage glimpses of Toi et Moi who this year launched their “ready to buy threads”. Traditionally having to wait 5 months from runway to purchase Designer Gill Lawrence is appealing to the Consumers with  the “buy now, wear now” mentality.”You do fashion week to build awareness for your brand but people lose interest if you don’t capture the moment”.

Stay tuned for more backstage images……

The countdown is officially on for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia, sending fashioniastas nation wide into a frantic fashion flurry. Once again, the good folk over at KMS California have cemented themselves hot contenders in the style stakes, working overtime in preparation for a hectic week of high-end shows. The team have honed in on their exemplary expertise by hand selecting Hair Directors and matching them to designers. These flawless fits will see Anthony Nader (RAW Anthony Nader) team up with Gary Bigini, Clive Allwright (Our Place Salon) take the reins at Ellery and Stephen Seago (Roar Hairdressing) work his magic at Toi et Moi.

As a keen supporter of the Australian Fashion industry KMS California jumps at the chance to back homegrown talent, most recently teaming with emerging label Saxony who debuted their AW Collection on 11 April at Australian Technology Park. A selection of KMS California stylist’s were selected to work with Hair Director Kenneth Stoddart including Emma Attenborough and Emma Howie from Emma Dean Salon as well as Amanda and Nancy Mafaddi from Hair Allure. Maintaining a high fashion feel hair was slicked back from the forehead falling into a long sleek ponytail to compliment the raw and beautiful show aesthetic.

To achieve this sculptural look, follow KMS California’s step-by-step:

1.             Prepare the hair by applying ADDVOLUME Root Lift Spray around the front hairline and finger-dry into the hair for volume and texture

2.             Section the front part from ear to ear and braid the back middle section of hair into a tight braid then pin it close to the head to hide the bulk of the hair at the back

3.             Pull the sides of the hair straight back and close to the head then cover the braiding with a ponytail positioned in the mid back section and leave it textured through the front top section

4.             Some hair extensions may be applied for length and sprayed with HAIRPLAY Sea Salt Spray - leave quite natural

5.             Take a small selection of hair and wrap it around the ponytail and set it with HAIRSTAY Maximum Hold Hairspray, spraying it close to the section and set it with a hair dryer on low heat

6.             Finish with HAIRSTAY Anti-Humidity Seal for shine

For men, it was very polished and groomed:

1.   Apply HAIRSTAY Max Gel all over with a tiny brush and mold to the head

2.   Set in place with a hairdryer on low heat

3.   Spray HAIRSTAY Maximum Hold Hairspray and allow to set

Sydney Wedding magazine shoot- behind the scenes

By On · Add Comment

Here is a snap shot of behind the scenes of a photo shoot that i did  for Sydney Wedding magazine.

We had a ball shooting this at the lovely Curzon Hall, although it was poring down rain and so windy we managed to get some amazing shots.

 

 

The mood for the day was soft and flowing natural hair and makeup with a romantic feel.

 

 

Our 2 little flower girls Tilly and Misha were so brave in the cold.

 

 

The colours worked amazingly together against the sandstone backdrop, i guess being overcast and raining was great for the lighting.

The dresses were a selection of Australian designers and the makeup was done by Garry Suits.

Fixing hair in gale force winds and rain-fun!

Beautiful models Marnee Kidd (left) and Courtney Wells (right) having a laugh between shots.

 

Styling was done by Rosemary Slade at Sydney wedding magazine.

Photographer was Tim Robinson and his assistant Mitch.

Look out for the December edition of Sydney wedding magazine to see the 14 page spread.

INIKA Makeup Story

INIKA Story

INIKA CEO Miranda Bond accepted that due to her struggle with endometriosis, she would probably not conceive naturally. Thankfully, things changed when she discovered the book, Hormone Heresy by American holistic wellness guru Dr. Sherrill Sellman.

The book suggested three things: 1. Changing one’s diet to an anti-inflammatory and organic diet. 2. Eliminating products that contain potentially harmful chemicals, particularly endocrine disrupting chemicals (found in makeup, nail polish & household cleaners.) 3. Using natural progesterone cream prescribed by a doctor.

As she began to detoxify her life, Miranda realised there were potentially harmful chemicals hiding in everyday products, particularly cosmetics and skincare products.

After being on her new regime for three months, Miranda fell pregnant and was suitably chuffed. During the course of her pregnancy Miranda’s endometriosis cleared up completely. Following all of the life-changing recommendations from Dr Sherrill Sellman, Miranda’s health and vitality skyrocketed.

Miranda was resolved to focus her life on helping to educate and empower women to seek out more natural alternatives and to inspire women to choose natural and organic whenever possible.

Miranda continued her work by giving workshops on health related topics including Toxic Free Living. Through this she met Jenni Williams, whose son suffered from severe allergies. In 2005 the two friends launched the Thriving Healthy Women web site.

After a flood of emails from women searching for an all natural cosmetics brand, Miranda and Jenni decided to create their own natural and organic makeup range.

The result was INIKA, a 100 percent natural beauty brand incorporating mineral makeup, vegan and organic products that are completely free from synthetic chemicals and harmful ingredients.

INIKA is committed to delivering the following:

A phenomenal success since its inception in 2006, INIKA’s full natural makeup range is now sold in more than 16 countries around the world.

Miranda looks forward to continuing the INIKA mission of bringing world class natural and organic makeup products to women all over the world.

 

 

Eye colour chart

By On · Add Comment

 

When it comes to your wedding day one thing to remember is you want to look like yourself. On trend fashion colours will date quickly and the last thing you want is to look back in 5yrs time at those beautiful photos and say “dear lord what was i thinking”. (80′s blue eye shadow anyone?)

I love natural but flawless skin and neutral tones for eyes and hair colour, it’s timeless and looks good with any shape or skin tone. It’s ok to introduce a hint of  colour around the eyes but remember the colour that’s in for this year will not hang around long where your photos will be on your wall for years.

I like to keep with neutral toned eye shadows and introduce colour in the eyeliner or a slight enhancer in a soft shadow in the outer corners of the eye for just an illusion of colour.

Here are the power shades to enhance and draw attention to your eye colour.

Brown eyes - Greens, champagnes, bronzes, golds, browns and blues. Also try peach, corals, copper, pink, pale purples and burnt oranges.

Blue eyes - brown/orange, taupe, grey, violet, purple, deep blue and silver. To emphasize blue eyes try brown and rose shadows.

Green eyes - Brown colours from light beige’s – deep chocolate browns. Light purples and pinks will compliment green eyes, but stay away from greens olives and silvers.

Hazel eyes - Browns, gold, pink and lavender. Plum, khaki and mocha. Purple makes eyes more dramatic and use soft pink for a more romantic look. Avoid – Blue, silver, grey and blue black.

Fair skin should always avoid anything remotely orange or brassy as this will look  un-natural every time.

Mature eyes should always avoid anything with shimmer as this will enhance lines and age you more.

Keep the inner-eye  light to avoid looking tired and never use purple on fair skin as it will look like a bruise.

If your skin is naturally pink or red avoid anything pink around the eyes as this will only make it worse.

To lighten up tired eyes you can apply some Visine (from the chemist) and some chamomile tea bags (wet and refrigerated)over the eye to reduce redness, then apply a white eyeliner on the insides of your eyes.

Consult a professional eyebrow shaper to have your face shape and eye shape taken into consideration.

Always use mascara to finish the look as this will enhance ad open up the eye.

 

 

 

Beauty Super Foods

By On · Add Comment

Here are some foods that you can incorporate into your daily eating plan to fight skin problems and reduce wrinkles.

Apple cider vinegar- besides having amazing healing properties, apple cider vinegar keeps skin supple. It’s heavy concentration of enzymes helps to peel off dead skin cells and breaks down fat to help digest food properly.

Carrots- Carrots maintain the outer layer of skin to prevent premature ageing, works the same way as Retin A.

Citrus fruits- Hold the skin cells together by forming Collagen. Collagen cannot be added to the skin topically, which is why fruits and fruit juices are such and important part of the daily diet.

Garlic- Helps to combat wrinkles and restore tissue.

Sweet potatoes- Vitamin A is known to be a remarkable anti- wrinkle agent . Sweet potatoes are full of this, important for clearer smoother skin.

Tomatoes- Rich i Vitamin A vitamin C and potassium, this super trio helps to restore and rebuild skin cells.

Wheat Germ- To get rid of pimples quickly add 2-3 table spoons to your cereal or yogurt.

Along with a good skin care regime and daily exercise this will keep your skin clear and bright.
