So I hope that you enjoy
this, and let's get started.
Recently, I went
to an Aveda salon
for their hair shine treatments,
and you can learn more
about this in the last video I
did hear on the Aveda channel.
It's an everyday hair tutorial
with a lip combo for brunettes,
but believe me,
people will notice
how good your hair
looks at the next event
that you attend this winter.
It's 93% naturally derived,
completely customizable,
so you can choose demi-permanent
hair color or a clear gloss.
My hair instantly looks
just so much better overall.
The color is more rich and
intense, it feels super silky.
It's super shiny, and I
cannot recommend this enough.
It only takes 20 minutes, so
you can be in and out in no time
and off to your event.
I'm going to begin this
look with second day hair.
It's my favorite way
to start a look that
requires hold because you'll
have a little natural texture.
So the first product I'm
using is the Aveda Brilliant
Emollient Finishing Gloss
on the top section of hair
and on the bottom.
I'm skipping the middle
section, and you'll
see why in just a minute.
And I like to apply
it onto my fingertips.
I smooth it in
between my fingers,
and then with a light
hand, I apply it
by running my fingers
through my hair.
It's going to help achieve
a very polished feel,
and then I'm going to smooth
my hair with the Aveda paddle
brush to detangle
and get my hair
prepped for a low
ponytail, and I'm
going to leave out a section
in the front to frame my face.

I'm using the Pure
Abundance Hair potion next.
The formulation of this
product is amazing.
It transforms in your
hand from a powder
to a lightweight,
absorbent lotion.
I've never seen
anything like this,
and it works instantly to
add texture and volume, which
is going to make my braid
appear thicker and more full.
The Pure Abundance
Hair Potion is also
going to create a
matte texture, which
is going to give great
contrast between the shiny top
and bottom sections of the hair.
And now I'm creating
a fish tail braid.
So just split your
hair into two sections,
then from the
outside of each one,
you'll grab a few
pieces of hair bring it
underneath into the inside
of the opposite section.
This may take you a few tries
if you've never fishtail braided
before, but once you
get the hang of it,
it is very easy to do.

And here's a close up for you.
So it's just two sections.
I'm grabbing hair from the
outside of one section,
bringing it behind into the
inside of the other one,
and then I'm going to end this
a few inches from the base.

Secure with an
elastic or a hair tie,
and then start to fan out
sections and pull on the braid.
This will give it
much more drama,
and it's going to make the
entire braid appear larger.
The Pure Abundance Hair
Potion works really well
to give the hair
flexibility while still
holding the style together.
For even more hold
and staying power,
I just create a
hole there and then
I loop the hair
through it at the end.
And I'm also wrapping a strand
of hair around the hair tie
to hide it, and securing
with a bobby pin.
And lastly, I'm going to
curl any face framing pieces,
and also the end of the braid
to give it a little lift
and just really
complete the look.
And onto makeup now.
I'm going to shape
and sculpt my face
with the Petal Essence Face
Accents, and 160 Peach Lights.
It's a warm, soft peach
to deep natural peach,
with three color variants.
There is a bronzer,
highlight, and blush
all in one with Petal
Soft Face Powder Bouquets.
I'm also using the Pure
Nourishment Lipstick Collection
with 23 long wearing satin
shades expertly matched
to complement your hair color.
There's also eight lip
liners in the collection,
and first on the
four course menu
is the Pure Nourishment
Lip Treatment, which
is 98% naturally
derived and it's
going to smooth and
moisturize my lips.
And step two is a primer, and
it's going to smooth my lips
and creates an even base.
Step three is lip liner.
This is the shade Bayberry.
It's highly pigmented, and
it's going to shape my lips.
It's also designed to
maximize lip color benefits.
And my favorite shade in the
collection for a formal look
is Goji, it's number 20.
It's a vibrant red,
as you can see,
and all these lipsticks
stay true for eight hours.
They do not feather and
require very minimal touch ups.
They're all in satin finishes
from neutral to bold colors.
