Jewels of the Earth
Ladies, it’s time to update your makeup stash! This autumn and winter, have fun with rich, vivid jewel tones that add warmth to winter skin and chicness to your fall and winter style. On Sept. 1, Aveda will introduce its limited edition Jewels of the Earth makeup collection, a combination of gem-inspired eyeshadow and lip color hues that complement every skin tone and hair colour, and can be used to create dramatic or subtle yet stunning looks. “Jewels of the Earth is a palette of rich, intense tones,” says Janell Geason, Aveda’s global makeup artist. “Metallic, velvety-dark colours reflect depth and nocturnal elegance. The looks suggest a somber, antique and artistic mood, and the notion of old becoming new.” The collection includes six Petal Essence Single Eye Colours (available in Crushed Citrine, Terraverte, Sanidine, Azurite, Amethyst and Jade), which are are crease-resistant, lightweight and long-lasting and boast a silky, petal-soft texture for effortless blending thanks to jasmine and geranium waxes; one Nourish-Mint Sheer Mineral Lip Colour (available in Sheer Petalite), made with plant and fruit waxes to smooth fine lines, plump lips and add moisture, and has mineral-derived pigments for a flattering touch of colour; and two Nourish-Mint Smoothing Lip Colours (available in Tanzanite and Vanadinite), a creamy lipstick that gives lips full-coverage colour for a va-va-voom look. If rich makeup colours intimidate you, relax, and recreate some of this autumn and winter’s standout looks from the Aveda Collection.
