We love learning from Aveda's Global Artistic Director of Makeup Janell Geason because she creates beautiful, on-trend makeup finishes that last all day, and night. When we saw this fresh face, we knew we'd have to track down the steps. Here's how she did it:
Complexion and Cheeks
Prep the skin, and create a luminous, radiant complexion by applying Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisture broad spectrum SPF 15 and concealer where needed. Set lightly with Inner Light mineral loose powder. Accentuate the cheekbones by applying Petal Essence Fade Accents in Seychelles Sand and Tesserae with a blush brush.
Eyes
Prep the lids, and apply Aveda's Petal Essence Single Eye Color in Rare Lily from the lash lines fading past the creases with an eye contour brush. Apply Petal Essence Eye Definer in Cacao along the top of the lash line and smudge with a smudger brush.
Lashes & Brows
Curl the lashes, and apply Aveda's Mosscara in Black Forest to the top and bottom lashes. If needed, fill in the brows by applying the appropriate shade of Petal Essence Eye Color Trio in Gobi Sands with a brow/lash brush.
Lips
Apply Aveda's Nourish-Mint Smoothing Lip Color in Pink Zinnia around the lip lines and fade into center. In the center of the lips apply Nourish-Mint Smoothing Lip Color in Pinkstone. Apply Nourish-Mint Rehydrating Lip Glaze in sheer flamingo to the center of the lips with the medium eye color brush, and lightly press in.
