Backstage at Eco-Ganik

Ecoganik was one of my favorite shows at L.A. Fashion week, and the makeup for the show complimented the clothing perfectly.

makeup artist Lori Taylor made sure the look was very organic-looking by keeping the skin fresh and natural. she gave the eyes a bit of shimmer to the lids and the inner corners, and also added false black wispies to the top lashes and brown wispies to the bottom lashes. this helped to give the eye a bright-eyed femininity. the lips were made glossy with both peach and pink shades.

here's what was used:

Smashbox High Definition Healthy FX Foundation SPF 15

Single Eyeshadow in Champagne on the lids and Oyster in the inner corners

Cream Eyeliner in Midnight Brown,
Bionic Mascara
Brow Tech

Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion to highlight the cheekbones and also a bit was added to the tearducts to make the eyes "really glowy and beautiful"

Bronze Lights in Sunkissed Matte to give a peach-y tone to the cheeks while adding a contour.

Lip Enhancing Gloss in Afterglow and Beauty.

L.A. Fashion Week: Eco-Ganik

Eco-Ganik was one of the shows i was able to attend during my time in LA. i, thankfully, had a second row seat, so i was able to capture the fabulous collection by designer Hoda Mallone.








Hoda's desire was to create a line that was still fashionable while being "green". all of the fabrics are eco-friendly, and because of this, special care had to be taken when dying and the cutting fabric.





this is Hoda Mallone's first runway collection. believe it or not, she has only been seriously designing for about a year. she says if she weren't in fashion, she would be doing something in law.





Hoda Mallone

overall, this is a very sophisticated and smart line that will appeal to every fashionista. i was really impressed, and trust me, my pictures don't do the clothes any justice!
