FALL'S MOST WANTED

MAKEUP LOOKS

Nature has an ingenious way of balancing colors so that nothing bold ever appears outlandish or garish. Case in point: The plumage of a bird. Inspired by the beauty and color of exotic birds, our new Limited Edition Autumn/Winter 2017 Makeup Collection: Birds of Paradise, is an interplay of bright and subtle hues reminiscent of the plumage of a bird, which looks as gorgeous on skin of any tone as it does in the wild.


“The collection’s palette of jewel tones in indigo, rose and golden yellow are offset by vibrant berries, saturated plums as well as soft ivories and petal pinks,” says Janell Geason, Aveda Global Artistic Director, Makeup.


In the spirit of the seasonal trends, here are two looks Janell created for this collection.
