Key Hair & Makeup Concepts
Hair:
As a collaborative show, the hair styling varied across each brand; however, a glossy texture infused with subtle Asian nuances served as the unifying aesthetic thread.
The hair and makeup delivered an impactful presence strong enough to complement the highly individual looks, offering a distinct approach that diverged from typical Japanese styling centered on effortless nuance and relaxed ease.

Makeup:
The makeup designs were uniquely tailored to complement each of the three designers' fashion aesthetics:
•Rhett Eala: A classic look highlighted by gracefully arched eyeliner and bold red lips.
•Joey Samson: A natural, refined look focusing on meticulously prepped skin, polished brows, and delicate facial contouring.
•Jaggy Glarino: A striking, high-impact look featuring vivid red pigment boldly diffused from the eyelids across the cheeks.
