The looks of Runway 3 and 4 at L'Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival

The looks of Runway 3 and 4 at L'Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival

If the runway is anything to go by (and trust us, it is) old Hollywood glamour is back in a big way.

Runway 3

The look: A super metallic look, the eyes shimmer with silver and the blackest mascara while the lips provide a strong counter focus in a dark plum. “The hair gives a nod to the starlets of the 1940’s – ultra feminine, soft full bodied curls, maximum shine. Think Hollywood glamour meets classic French boudoir,” says Brad Ngata, Hair Director for L’Oréal Professionnel.

Why we love it: Old Hollywood glamour is channelled with soft curls and a focus on a deep plum lip. Ripped from the red carpet, this look is a scene stealer.

Start by double-moussing the hair with L’Oréal Professionnel tecni.art Volume Lift. To double-mousse the hair, apply one layer of mousse, dry it in a little, then apply some more!

Next, create a low side part from the arch of the eyebrow, pulling the hair back to the crown. Then, completely dry off the hair, keeping the top lengths smooth.

Section the hair into three parts, left side, middle and right side. Beginning on one side, take a small section of hair; lightly spray with L’Oréal Professionnel tecni.art Pli and use medium curling tongs to create the curl. Make sure the hair is flat when you wrap it around the curling tong, this ensures you get the right curl formation.

Continue the process through the remaining middle lengths and ends in a brick layering fashion, wrapping the curl in the same direction every time. Pin each curl to the scalp and allow them to set and cool.

Once completely cooled, remove pins and gently brush hair downwards with a soft bristle brush, and shape lengths around the face. Finish with L’Oréal Professionnel Elnett to hold style in place and spray a quick mist of L’Oréal Professionnel tecni.art Crystal Gloss for true Hollywood shine.

Runway 4

The look: Celebrate a golden glow with this ultra chic look that makes the most of beautiful golden eyes. The eyes are deepened with the addition of a darker outer shadow and the lips bring it all together with a soft warm lipstick.

Why we love it: This look embodies the ultimate girl-next-door, soft, side swept hair combined with a warm lipstick and neutral tones make this look the kind you want to have a picnic with.
