Soft Autumn makeup
Makeup is where a season palette pays off fastest — a single correct lipstick changes a face more than a whole outfit does.

- Moss gold
- Warm mushroom

Frequently asked
What lipstick suits a Soft Autumn?
soft terracotta (#C4756B), muted rose (#B5697A) and warm nude (#C98D7A). If you buy one, make it soft terracotta — it is the shade that does the most work with the least effort for this season.
What blush should a Soft Autumn use?
soft peach, warm rose and muted apricot. The test for blush is simple: it should look like the colour your own face goes when you have been walking in cold air. Anything more saturated than that reads as makeup rather than as you.
What eyeshadow colours work for a Soft Autumn?
moss gold, warm mushroom and soft teal. These sit close enough to the palette to harmonise while still giving definition. Keep the finish matte or satin — heavy shimmer fights muted colouring.
What foundation undertone should a Soft Autumn look for?
Look for warm or golden in the shade name. Test along the jaw in daylight, never under shop lighting, and check it again after ten minutes — foundation oxidises and often shifts warmer than it looked in the bottle.
