GRAFITTI MEETS BEAUTY

M.A.C. GRAFITTI

Huffer is a quintessential streetwear brand and this year’s show was all about communicating the essence of the label to an international audience. Hair for Huffer’s runway was youthful, effortless and natural – finished to look clean and fresh. With a centre part tucked behind the ears, it showcased the individual in a utilitarian manner.

To create the look, Redken Artist Richard Kavanagh first applied a drop of Beard and Skin oil to the ends of the hair for flexibility and softness and misted a small amount of Rootful throughout the rest of the hair. For extra reinforcement in fine hair, a light mist of Fashion Waves around the front helped with control.Kavanagh then parted the hair in the middle and blow-dried thoroughly with a medium round brush for polished and soft movement. He completed the look by raking through the hair with fingers and tucking behind the ears.

For the makeup; looking on-trend, M.A.C. Cosmetics worked with Huffer at New Zealand Fashion Week on this stylish street look. Inspired by Brooklyn street graffiti, M.A.C. created a unique lip on their models that added a splash of colour to the otherwise natural look. A refreshingly casual-style, the models looked amazing on the runway.
