Best Makeup Colors for True Autumn

Lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush shades that enhance your natural coloring

True Autumn (Warm Autumn) coloring is rich, warm, and earthy. Your makeup should embrace these warm, golden tones - think rust lips, copper and bronze eyeshadow, and peachy-terracotta blush. You can handle more saturation than Soft Autumn while keeping everything in the warm earth-tone family. Cool colors will look completely disconnected from your natural warmth.

How to Know If You're Really True Autumn

True Autumn (also called Warm Autumn) is the quintessential Autumn - warm, earthy, and golden. Here's how to identify this season.

Signs You're True Autumn

Your skin has obvious golden or warm undertones
Earth tones make you look healthy and vibrant
Gold jewelry is clearly more flattering than silver
You look great in rust, olive, warm brown, and terracotta
Cool colors (blue-pink, icy pastels) make you look washed out
Your hair and eyes likely have warm tones (auburn, golden brown, warm hazel)

Common Confusion

True Autumn is often confused with True Spring and Deep Autumn. The difference from Spring is mutedness (Autumn is earthier, Spring is clearer). The difference from Deep Autumn is depth (True Autumn is medium, Deep is darker).

Try a warm coral versus a muted terracotta. True Springs look better in the clear coral; True Autumns look better in the earthier terracotta. This shows the difference between clear (Spring) and muted (Autumn).

Frequently Asked Questions About True Autumn

What colors suit True Autumn best?

Rich earth tones are your signature - rust, olive, warm brown, pumpkin, mustard, terracotta, and forest green. These colors make your skin glow and your overall look feel harmonious.

Can True Autumn wear red?

Yes, but it should be a warm red - tomato red, rust red, or orange-red. Avoid cool blue-reds, burgundy, and wine tones. Your perfect red has obvious warmth and earthiness to it.
