Soft Autumn

Soft Autumn is warm-leaning and softly blended. Gentle earthy shades — terracotta, sage, and honey gold — enrich its glow; icy or electric colors drain it.

Makeup for Soft Autumn

The same logic, applied to makeup.

Lips

Warm rosy nudes, soft terracotta, and muted peach sit naturally on Soft Autumn skin. Skip blue-based pinks and stark reds.

A muted warm peach blush melts into the skin for an effortless glow.

Eyes

Warm taupes, soft bronzes, and olive tones flatter Soft Autumn eyes. Brown liner keeps definition soft.
