RAFW 2011 Day 3 (Part 2) Michael Lo Sordo

Michael Lo Sordo (Backstage)

I was flattered to be invited to the Michael Lo Sordo show as special guest by iconic nail polish brand Essie. Before the show we went backstage to check out the pre-show model mahem and see what Essie was doing with the nails for the show. I’ve always been a classic ‘french manicure’ girl so seeing Essie’s unique twist on the traditional French manicure was super cool!

They used a pastel combination of Lilacism on the base, tipped with Mint Candy Apple and washed over with Adore-a-Ball. It was a perfect combination for the predominately white collection that flowed down the runway.

The make up done by shu uemura was a clean and polished. The fresh illuminated look was done with a nude pallete with soft touches of blue eye shadow in shu uemura pressed eye shadow matt blue 600. I absolutely loved the soft nude lips created with shu uemura’s rouge unlimited beige 990 matte.
