The rich earthy tones of Autumn with colors ranging from rich rusty reds, browns, oranges, yellows and deep greens, all evoke the foliage and beauty of the season.
It's a warm and inviting palette of softly blended warm and deep colors, and yet it also includes the striking tones of teal, peacock and a yellowy-soft moss green to add vibrance. These are colors used for fashion and interior design alike.
If your own color characteristics are equally warm, soft and deep then the AUTUMN color palette will allow you to re-create your natural coloring in the clothes and makeup that you wear.
This creates COLOR BALANCE and harmony!
If your color characteristics are WARM, SOFT and DEEP then this is the palette for you; richly blended tones with a golden hue and a classic sophistication.
When you echo your natural coloring in the clothes and makeup you wear you create Color Balance. Your skin and eyes will be clearer and brighter.
Your eyes:
will be warm green, golden or deepest amber, hazel, turquoise/teal - often with yellow flecks.
You have medium contrast - there is usually a reasonable contrast between your eyebrows, skin and hair color.
Your hair:
is likely to be auburn through to a rich Warm Deep chestnut, sometimes even darker.
Your skin tone:
is WARM - ivory, golden beige through to a deep coppery tone - and always with a golden undertone. You may actually look quite fair against dark hair and have freckles.
The beautiful array of colors in your COLOR FAMILY will enhance and intensify the warm golden undertones and bring your coloring to life. Your skin and eyes will be clearer blemishes will be minimized. A natural bloom will appear; the right make-up will enhance this even more.
The colors to flatter you are:
It's misleading to think that because Autumn colors are WARM, DEEP and MUTED that they can't be VIBRANT and yes almost BRIGHT! It is this rich blend of color that makes the Autumn palette so intense and almost dramatic but retains the softness.
You don't have to look like a pile of Autumn leaves!
I've compared forest color with a spectacular Florida sunset proving that the Autumn color palette isn't bound by climate or season of the year.
Holding
your brand new color swatch in your hand is exciting - but the next
thought is often panic as you wonder what on earth you're going to do
with it.
It can be really difficult to visualize how all the beautiful color shades will actually transform themselves into an outfit and find their way into your wardrobe!

No - your natural coloring is genetic so it never really changes.
However, as your hair begins to transition into grey losing pigment, your skin can also lose color tone.
If the brighter shades feel over-whelming, you may feel more comfortable in the softer shades.
But that's by no means the norm! Louise was surprised to find that the Autumn colors were so good for her. Although she chose these colors naturally years ago, she was concerned about how her hair color change had affected her choices.
Whereas her contrast is now actually stronger than before!
How to cope with hard-to-wear colors
Raspberry, royal blue, blue red - are not your best
shades. If you must wear them, team them with a warm soft shade close to your face to soften the effect.
