Style Wylde went back stage with Rene Furterer and MAC Cosmetics at the David Tlale Spring 2014 presentation to get the low down on all the hair and beauty being created for the show.

The make-up, created by MAC artists, was fresh and pretty and "highly reflective" using cream blushes and shadows to play up the model's youthful dewyness.

The hair, which was created by Rene Furterer's artistic team lead by legendary artist Junya Nakashima, was sleek and slicked back for a fresh,  hyper-clean look that wouldn't overpower the extremely intricate pieces in the collection. To do this the team started with a liberal amount of René Furterer STRAIGHTENING GEL to dry hair and combed it through from roots to ends. Using a blow-dryer with a nozzle attachment,the team  then straightened hair in sections with a Mason Pearson brush. After blow-drying, the team took hair in small sections using a tail comb and ran a straightening iron through hair. Next, they used  René Furterer VEGETAL MOUSSE to saturate the hair from the top of the head to a little past the crown. Next, they sprayed René Furterer VEGETAL FINISHING SPRAY throughout hair while blow-drying hair down. On models that had flyaways a small amount of René Furterer GLOSSING SPRAY  was used to smooth any stray hairs. To further set and maintain the shape of hair the team clipped tissues strategically onto the sides of the models’ hair and across the point where the two textures of hair met. Finally, once the models’ makeup was in place and they were dressed for the presentation, the team took out the tissues and clips and once again sprayed René Furterer VEGETAL FINISHING SPRAY throughout hair to hold everything in place and to keep hair as sleek as possible.

 The result: a simply natural and utterly gorgeous youthful look that worked perfectly on all the models.
