Soft Autumn

Soft Autumn makeup

Use the palette to choose a color direction for lips, cheeks and eyes. Product opacity and your natural coloring change the result.

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.

Lips

Try rose-brown, muted peach, soft terracotta; compare a sheer and fuller application.

Cheeks

Use a light layer in a related color family, then check the dried finish in daylight.

Eyes

Start with three neutral depths. Choose the contrast and coverage you find comfortable.

A practical rule

These are color-family suggestions, not foundation shades. Match foundation to actual skin and swatch products before buying.

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.
