Behind the Lens with Lauren & Tash’s in Bali
Photographer Lauren Schulz and producer Tash Galgut travel the globe for Retreat Magazine, infusing our pages with vibrant fashion and breathtaking destinations. In this issue, their journey takes them to the enchanting island of Bali.
What’s your go-to fashion accessory for staying stylish in Bali’s tropical climate?
Tash
A fan and sunglasses to hide the sweat! It’s so hot and sticky, so you need to be tactical.
Do you have any beauty hacks for looking fresh and flawless despite the humidity?
Tash
Slick your hair back! It keeps the sweaty hair at bay and you can sneakily wipe the sweat from your face back into your hair for extra slickness.
What’s a quick tip to transition your outfit from beach day to sunset drinks?
Lauren
Sarongs! They can be used as a cute cover-up and turned into a fashionable beachy crop top. Some jewellery goes a long way to amp up your outfit!
How do you keep your hair looking fabulous amidst Bali’s humidity?
Tash
I’m sticking with a slick bun or ponytailed braid.
Lauren
Slicked bun always!
Favourite beauty product to combat any unexpected skin issues while travelling?
Tash
I started to double cleanse with Sukin cleanser and it fixed my unexpected blemishes right up.
Lauren
Tinted sunscreen and liquid blush to keep my makeup light but still cute!
What’s the must-have item in your beach bag for a day of sun and style?
Lauren
A sarong, a speaker, and some body spray so the sweat never wins!
Any fashion tips for respecting local customs while staying chic?
Tash
Always respect and smile at the locals. Be truly interested in learning about their culture, language, and religious customs. They have so much to teach us, and we could learn a thing or two about community and kindness from them.
Quick advice for finding the perfect backdrop for a spontaneous fashion photoshoot in Bali?
Lauren
Do your research, as many spots would be deemed inappropriate! Finding a nice hotel or villa is best!
What’s your secret for packing light while still having plenty of stylish options for your Bali adventure?
Lauren
Don’t stress about bringing more than one pair of shoes and just slick your hair to avoid having to bring product!
