Soft Autumn

Soft Autumn lipstick

Compare a sheer and a full-coverage version of a compatible lip color. The same shade can look softer when applied lightly.

Gentle olive, warm taupe and rose clay share a softened warmth. Choose colors with a little gray or brown in them, and let neighboring shades blend easily.

Colors to begin with

Rose-brown, muted peach, soft terracotta offer starting families for Soft Autumn.

A practical rule

Lip color combines with your natural lip pigmentation. Test on the lips, rather than relying on a wrist swatch or online product photograph.

For this softer palette, try colors of a similar depth together before adding a strong contrast.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
