Best Makeup Colors for Autumns

The warm, earthy beauty of an Autumn is elevated by rich, muted tones that echo the golden hues of the season and blend effortlessly with their natural depth.

• Eyeshadow: Muted, warm tones such as sage, peach, apricot, light browns like caramel, and pale orangey pinks. Avoid cool silvers, blues, deep purples, or anything too cool-toned. Look for matte or soft shimmer finishes - the warmth of Autumns does best when it blends in with the natural depth as opposed to having too much harsh contrast.
• Check out Color Me Beautiful’s Color Pro Eyeshadow in Sunlit Sage or Color Pro Eyeshadow in Gilded Apricot
• Lipstick: Warm, muted tones orange and red undertones like terra cotta, spiced cinnamon, rust, and brick red. These types of tones harmonize with the natural warmth of an Autumn. Look for creamy or satin formulas that feel warm and easy to blend.
• Check out Color Me Beautiful’s Color Renew Lipstick in Cinnamon or Color Renew Lipstick in Spice

• Blush: Muted orange and brown-toned pink tones like coral, cinnamon, terra cotta rose, salmon, and soft melon. Avoid anything too cool-toned such as cool roses or icy pinks. Look for a matte finish.
• Check out Color Me Beautiful’s Color Pro Blush in Coral Crush or Color Pro Blush in All Spice

• Eyeliner: Try green and warm-toned brown eyeliners to enhance the natural beauty and sun-kissed warm glow of Autumn eyes. Avoid anything too cool-toned like navy and deep purple.

Additional Tips

• Search for products with muted, rich warm colors similar to autumn foliage or exotic spices.
• Your best colors are typically shades of moss, rust, and terra cotta.
• Pay attention to the undertones of your makeup. Autumns should generally lean towards makeup with warm undertones that make them glow and avoid makeup with cool undertones that can feel too heavy.
• Don't be afraid to break the rules! These are just general guidelines, and you can always experiment with different colors to find what looks best on you.
