Disco Fever at RIXO

London Fashion Week means one thing to us and that’s getting the best creative talents at Secret Spa together to create the hair and make-up looks to put the finishing touches to RIXO’s presentation.

The ‘Liberated Territory’ collection takes its inspiration from the carefree hedonism of the 70s disco scene; like the clothes, the make-up and nails were awash with colour and glitter and hair was curled and backbrushed to Jerry Hall-esque effect.

As always, it was a blast putting it together and working with two of the most talented and cool young businesswomen we know, Henrietta & Orlagh of RIXO. We can vouch that the presentation knocked the socks off everyone who went – hard not to with drag queen Rileasa Slaves commandeering the dance floor.

Check out our beauty notes below to create the looks at home, start with the disco lashes! We promise you don’t have to be a model to pull them off.

Step two: Apply generous amounts of Buxom Big Tease Mascara on both the top and the bottom lashes to create a messy, clumpy effect paying special attention to the tips.

Step three: Apply Anastasia Beverly Hills Glitter Adhesive to the lashes and layer up to three times.  Carefully apply a touch of Anastasia Beverly Hills Loose Glitter in Gold over the top lashes, holding a tissue underneath to catch any excess sparkle.

Step Four: For the lip, apply Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Malt or Ashton (depending on skin tone)

HAIR

Stylist: Tina Guhataoura

Step one: Prep clean and dry hair and lightly spritz the hair with Wella Ocean Spray

Step two: Working up the whole head, curl the hair in an upwards motion using the tongs, leaving at least 3 inches from the scalp. Pin curls as you go.

Step three: Remove the pins smoothing the non-curled root area down using a heavy amount of Wella Shape Me Gel and a comb, this will ensure no flyaways are present on the top of the head. Once smooth place hair grips all around just above the curl so it can set.

Step four: Separate the curls using your fingers to pull them apart in different directions to create texture. Once complete back-comb the curls with a comb to create a serious amount of volume while keeping the curl visible. Throughout this process ensure to use a good amount of hairspray to give hold.

Step five: Remove the grips from the back of the hair and leave the front two rows in to give a touch of 70s glamour.
