A Hair and Make up show was organized together with the graduation ceremony, to display the many creative talents they posses, polished and guided by the immense knowledge provided by Ramani during their study at her Academy.
Hair is often described as a crowning glory, and each of the segments in the show proved its triumph as an artistic medium blended seamlessly with their creativity in Makeup.
The students were grouped into different sections and were assigned a theme each. They were allowed thereafter to use their imaginations and the knowledge gathered during their period of study.
Inspired by the hair and makeup of ancient Egypt, the first group of students was given the theme ‘Egyptian Inspiration’, to which they have created a modern fantasy of contemporary hair styles and make up.
The second group had based their creations on the variety and versatility of the color now available for hair, makeup and nails.
Ruchira Silva –of the popular designer label “REBEL” provided all the evening dresses for the above segments enhancing the glamour of their creative talents which were show cased.

Each creation was unique in its own way and the students had maintained high levels of standard in all their creations.
Being one of the most interesting segments of the show, the ‘FANTASY’ creations were exclusively created with hair and make up to evoke all of the feature of a Rain Forest – trees, water, flowers, birds and insects.In addition to show casing their individual creativity ,they also highlighted the versatility of hair when the imagination is given free rein.
The timeless beauty,grace and elegance of the sari was highlighted in the last section “Eastern Splendour”.while the saris were all contemporary,combining the exclusivity of batik on silk by Eric Suriyasena Batik ,with the exquisite good taste of the Saree Mandhir Collection,the make up was upto the minute with a bias towards an Indian “look” while the Retro inspired hair reminded us of times past.
