Top Product Picks for Fall’s Trending Colors
Fall is the perfect time to refresh your makeup with colors that reflect the season's energy. Inspired by Shirley Zaccheo’s insights, we’re exploring Pantone’s Fall/Winter 2025/2026 palette and showing you how to translate these shades into your makeup collection with products that work for your unique seasonal palette.
What is Color Analysis?
Color Analysis is the art and science of discovering which shades of clothing and makeup harmonize best with your natural coloring. As the original authority in the field, Color Me Beautiful popularized this system in the 1980s and has since helped over 26 million women discover their best shades. Each seasonal palette captures a unique combination of undertone, depth, and clarity.
Each season the Pantone Color Institute releases its Fashion Color Trend Report highlighting the shades they expect to dominate in fashion, design, and culture. The Fall/Winter palette is carefully curated to capture both the mood of the moment and timeless versatility, blending bold statement-making hues with classic core shades.
The Fall/Winter 2025/2026 Pantone Palette:
This year’s selection continuing the tradition of offering colors that speak to creativity, confidence, and individuality. Shirley Zaccheo has organized these trending colors into seasonal delegations to help you find your best look.
Winter & Summer Palettes
For those with Winter or Summer undertones, rich and deep shades can complement your natural coloring. Shirley notes that while Winter tones are often bold, softer shades like French Roast and Crown Blue can add elegance to your fall wardrobe.
For Lyons Blue: We recommend the Icy Luminary Palette to capture this deep, regal blue.
For Damson: Use Silver Lilac to reflect this sophisticated, muted purple tone.
For Primrose Pink: Pink Peony blush is the perfect soft, cool-toned match.
For Winterberry: Glam lipstick offers that bold, cool-toned richness.
For Hot Chocolate: Define your eyes with the Dark Chocolate Eye Pencil.
Spring & Autumn Palettes
Spring and Autumn tones shine with vibrant hues. Shirley highlights Poppy Red as a standout for Spring, and when paired with core colors like Bark Brown, it can work beautifully for Autumn as well.
For Brandied Melon: Try Sweet Melon blush for a warm, earthy flush.
For Bronze Brown: The Toasted Luminary Palette provides all the essential warm bronze tones.
For Poppy Red: Mango Punch lipstick offers that clear, energetic red.
For Chili Oil: Embrace the rich, warm depth of Brown Sugar lipstick.
