Virtual try on

Want to take the leap and try these fun summer hair colors but can’t quite commit yet? Use our Virtual Color Tool to try out dozens of hair colors right from your computer. This hair color tool gives you an interactive experience, allowing you to test hair colors on yourself through your computer camera, or by simply uploading a photo. You can try on 64 different shades in blonde, brunette, red and vibrant colors.

To take Ian’s trends for a spin with the Virtual Color Tool, look for the Very Light Copper Blonde among the blonde color choices, and the Medium Copper Brown shade under the brunette colors.

To experiment with different vibrant hues, try our “Color Melt” ombre effect, with 30 energizing colors to pick from. You can vary the coverage of these shades, while playing with different combinations against your existing hair color. “From a discrete dip dye to full coverage, our ‘Color Melt’ ombre effect lets you see what works best for your hair and how you would look in your favorite color,” Ian says.

Once you find the best summer hair color for you, you can share a screenshot with your Aveda Artist and be your own inspiration for your next color appointment.

Janell's top summer makeup looks

As our resident makeup master, Janell Geason is always in the know when it comes to the season’s latest trends. While inside the last few months, some of us may have been going au naturel, but as summer kicks into high gear, we’re ready to experiment with some feel-good color. “Makeup is a mood booster,” Janell says. “Whether you choose soft neutral tones or bolder colors, it is color therapy for many of us.”

Bold eyes and neutral lips

Another makeup trend for summer that highlights your natural glow combines dramatic eyes and more pared-back lips. To create this playful feel, Janell recommends using feed my lips^TM pure nourish-mint^TM lipstick in Cacao Bean, Honey Ginger and Bronzed Pecan for beautiful natural shades. For daring eyes, she suggests the Violet Bloom, Aqua Pearl and Azure Rain eyeshadow palettes from our petal essences^TM eye color trios collection.

Makeup you can feel good about

Our feed my lips^TM pure nourish-mint^TM lipstick provides rich color, full of depth and dimension, all in a 95% naturally derived^* formula. Certified organic cupuaçu fruit butter helps nourish and moisturize for beautifully soft lips, while a blend of botanical oils, including certified organic kukui, jojoba and sunflower, helps smooth lips.

Once you apply it, you won’t have to worry about feathering or color fading during the day: its balanced blend of botanical waxes helps deliver long-wearing benefits—color that stays true for 8 hours. Its signature aroma of certified organic peppermint, vanilla and ginger will help make each application extra special.

When it comes to eyeshadow, our petal essences^TM eye color trios offer three vibrant, complementary colors in a silky, talc-free powder that builds and blends effortlessly. Our eyeshadow creates rich, reflective hues while aromatic flower waxes from the petals of jasmine and the leaves of geranium create a super-soft texture and floral aroma.
