Makeup artists responded by spending extra time masking models and using certain skin care products as highlighters. Notes Janell, “I spent a lot of time prepping skin backstage at the Hellesy Autumn/Winter 2017 show during New York Fashion Week, if the skin didn’t look nice, nothing else would work.”

Janell suggests using two of her backstage staples, the Aveda Tulasāra™ Wedding Masque as a primer to plump and soothe skin, and the Aveda Tulasāra™ Radiant Oleation Oil as a highlighter to make skin “look fresh and alive.”  

Subtle Chic
Hair color that’s single-processed, yet luminous and rich is an ideal complement to autumn's fresh-faced complexions. Techniques like elliptical balayage–applying various, yet similar tones in an oval around the head–add depth and dimension, and can also be used to make hair appear fuller. Says Bruno, “Playing with not just one shade, but two to four similar hues create more texture, allowing hair to catch the light easily.”

Getting creative with tones also keeps subtle hair color fresh. Says Bruno, “You can apply a single-processed, vibrant copper color then mute it a bit with a deep purple. The color feels modern and a bit smudged.”

Pop Art
Going bold with your hair color for fall is always an option. Pop Art-inspired colors like orange, red, yellow and even green and blue all make a powerful statement.

A commitment-free way to partake in the Pop Art craze is with Aveda’s new Birds of Paradise makeup collection which offers gorgeous, vibrant hues for eyes that play well with the season’s dewy complexion.

Says Janell, “Just apply concealer as needed, then you can go as bold as you like with other elements.”
