Delivered in more muted tones at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week (AAFW), Matteau’s collection was inspired by the notion of escape. The hair, makeup and garments all worked in synergy to transport the audience to an escape from reality, a place away from the ordinary, writes Ashleigh Matheson.
The neutral tones and relaxed silhouettes of the collection were complemented by understated and simple but beautiful hair looks by R+Co.
Backstage R+Co’s hair director Paloma Garcia explained that the inspiration behind the hair looks was “quintessential Australian resort wear. Everything is very relaxed, very beautiful and effortless”.
“We want the girls to look they’re on holidays, very fresh, very beautiful. We’re working to enhance each model’s natural hair texture rather than alter or change it. We created soft natural bends through their hair, with parts that are centred and strong. Hair is gentle tucked behind the ears, sitting behind the shoulders to ensure the finished look is a fresh and achievable daytime aesthetic,” Paloma said.
The hero products behind the looks were R+Co Waterfall, Two Way Mirror and Leon Lights, offering maximum moisture and shine.
Achieve the effortless, daytime aesthetic with the guide below.
Get the look:
Stop 1: Working with damp hair, apply a 10 cent piece of R+ Co Waterfall Moisture + Shine Lotion, a super hydrating balm, through mid-length and ends only.
Step 2: Next, apply 1 pump of R+Co Two Way Mirror Smoothing Oil through the ends only to add extra shine.
Step 3: Using a comb add in a clean, central part, then comb through all hair with a wide tooth comb and let hair completely air dry.
Step 4: With a medium hair tong, create bends starting at the midpoint of hair, down to ends.
Step 5: To finish the look use R+Co Outer Space Flexible Hair Spray so there are no fly aways.
