Fall/Winter 2012 Makeup Collection Tips: PASSION FLOWER

This season, luxurious petal tones grounded by sophisticated neutrals cast features in a provocative new light.  The look is yours to define, with color-saturated lips or richly contoured eyes.  Aveda makeup goes beyong minerals, with plant-derived ingredients to help care for your skin, and is formulated without parabens, talc or carmine.  Check out these tips from the collection’s creator, Janell Geason.

RED DAHLIA

“Cat-shaped contouring elongates the eyes, while feminine colors and soft blending keep the look sophisticated.” -Janell Geason, Aveda Artistic Director, Makeup

  • Eyes: Apply bittersweet petal essence single eye color to lid from lash to the crease.  Contour lid from outer to inner corner in night iris eye color, and brush night iris along outer 2/3 of bottom lash line.  Softly wing out the contour to create a cat shape, and diffuse the contour edges with bittersweet eye color.  Smudge brown velvet rose eye color along outer 2/3 of upper and bottom lash lines for definition.  Highlight inner corners with callalily eye color.  Curl lashes, apply earth mosscara and fill in the brows.
  • Face/Lips: Create luminous skin with inner light mineral tinted moisture spf 15.  Highlight cheekbones with callalily eye color, contour with peach lights petal essence face accents.  Accent apples of cheeks with plum touch face accents.  Prep lips with nourish-mint renewing lip treatment smoothing lip color.  Add a touch of shine at the center of the lips with star dahlia nourish-mint rehydrating lip glaze.
