Who: Michael Lo Sordo
When: 7:00 pm, May 16, Runway

Hair: Philip Barwick for Redken
Hair look:
“The inspiration for our hair today was to look really cool, confident and celebrate individual beauty - beauty that’s totally uninterfered with. Each girl has got a different look to the hair, and we’re going off what looks good for their face shape as well. They may have a centre part, they may have a side part, it just depends. Then we’re going through with some really subtle products. Using our Pillow Proof Primer first to protect from the heat, we then go through the hair with our Diamond Oil Glow Dry to deliver shine without a lot of weight. We’re using Rootful 06 to help set the shape and then Wind Blown Hairspray to finish.

Makeup: Max May for Avon
Makeup look:
“Michael’s doing this whole sexy secretary vibe throughout the range and he just told me that he wanted the girls to look really beautiful and lived-in; so I’m doing this really glowy, young, fresh skin with a nude pink swipe of colour across the lid with a high sheen gloss. I’ve chosen four girls who will be apart of the Michael Lo Sordo army and they’ll be getting the signature Michael Lo Sordo red lip. To start I’m using Avon’s Natura Effects Moisturiser, and really massaging that into the skin. Then I’m using the Flawless Foundation on the skin and setting it with the Colour Correcting Radiant Pearls, which is giving it a bit of a glow. It’s sealing the foundation without it looking like a powder. Then I’m using the Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick with the True Colour Glazewear Lip Gloss over the lip for the army girls, and then those who don’t have a red lip are getting their natural lip. No mascara and just curling the lashes - there’s going to be an out-of-focus, youthful look to the eye.”
