Yesterday in Toronto, World Mastercard Fashion Week showcased their second day of designer collections. I was on hand last night for all the backstage fun and excitement and also managed to take in a few shows with good friends Jenelle & Dee. Designer Melissa Nepton’s Spring/Summer 2015 Collection consisted of sexy cutouts, diaphanous fabrics and crisp summer whites. For a complete look at how to achieve the gorgeous beauty, nail and hair looks, as well as some visual inspiration, keep reading!

Beauty Look

Grace Lee, lead makeup artist for Maybelline New York and the creative mastermind behind all 35 of the makeup looks at Fashion Week did it again by creating another effortless look for Melissa Nepton. She kept skin looking fresh while “well-groomed, bold brows brought focus to the eyes”. Skin was contoured then mellowed out by adding a highlight along the upper cheekbone. A matte nude lip topped with a touch of gloss completed the look. Here is everything you need to re-create this natural everyday look at home:

Nails

Rita Remark, lead nail artist for Essie Canada created a beautiful blue-green & silver nail to pair with the dreamy contrast whites shown on the runway. In the fast-paced backstage environment, Rita and her team managed to shift gears quickly when the designer decided that she wanted to move in a different direction. Before I could even blink, the team was adorning fingertips with this new, fresh colour combination. Here’s how to replicate these #essielove nail looks at home:
1) Nourish & revitalize cuticles using Apricot Cuticle Oil 
2) Fill in any ridges using one coat of Essie’s Ridge Filling Base Coat
3) Paint your nails (all but the ring finger) with 2 coats of one of the following 3 polish shades: Where’s My Chauffeur? (punchy aquamarine), Turquoise & Caicos (tropical aqua) or Absolutely Shore (green sea foam). *note: the models had their choice of any one of these 3 shades
4) Paint your ring finger on each hand with 2 coats of No Place Like Chrome (silver ultra-metallic)
5) Finish off with a coat of Good to Go Top Coat and a drop of Quick-e for rapid drying.
