MODA Lookbook Episode 2: Patch Test

MODA Lookbook Episode 2: Patch Test

Welcome to Episode 2 of MODA Blog’s Lookbook series! We wanted to offer our wonderful team the opportunity to create and direct more editorial content for your viewing pleasure. Completely student styled, modelled and produced, the MODA Lookbook hopes to inspire, empower and challenge the talent of our community. Keep your eye out for more lookbooks coming soon~!


For this Lookbook, we explored a huge array of Korean Skincare and beauty products that had one thing in common: they were applicable and removable. We were fascinated by how flamboyant and theatrical some of these products were despite being worn only in the comfort of one’s own home. We thought to take these products only used in private and expand them to be used as looks for this series, and four brave models sat in Logan 014 with us and let us stick patches and masks all over their faces.

We extend a gracious thank you to our four wonderful models who followed through with our absurd concept as well as our wonderful Creative Director, Jaire Byers, who fantastically captured this story. I hope you all enjoy MODA Lookbook Episode 2!

Masked Lady: Model Feven Jembere wears Rouse Natural Eye Masks for Dark Circles as a masquerade mask. On her lips she wears L’Oréal Paris Rouge Signature in 422: “I Don’t” ($12). To prep skin for makeup application, we recommend applying Benton’s Aloe BHA Skin Toner ($19) for maximum hydration and light exfoliation.

Heart Eyes: Model Ting Ting Shi wears Secret Key Pink Racoony Hydro Gel Eye and Cheek Patches across her face and décolletage. On her lips she wears Maybelline New York Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick in 085 Pink Fetish ($9).

Clean Hearted: Bonus tip for glowing skin is to cleanse with an oil cleanser, pictured here is Hanskin’s PHA Pore Cleansing Oil ($20), and to stay hydrated with plenty of water.

Whiteout: Model Tinyan Dada wears NYX Professional Makeup White Liquid Liner ($7) on her eyes and brows and Covergirl Melting Pout Vinyl Vow in 250 ‘Hustle’ ($8) and assorted Eyelid Tapes on cheek and collarbones.
