About this season

True Autumn is the quintessential Autumn - warm, rich, and deeply earthy. Your colouring has a strong golden or copper warmth to it. Think auburn hair, warm brown eyes, and skin that glows like autumn leaves in afternoon sun. You were made for the colours of harvest season - the rich reds, burnt oranges, deep greens, and golden yellows of October forests.

The True Autumn palette is warm, earthy, and richly saturated. Unlike the softness of Soft Autumn, your palette can handle more depth and intensity. Think of mahogany, burnt orange, forest green, mustard, deep teal, and warm chocolate brown. The palette feels abundant, earthy, and deeply warming.

What to step away from

Cool blues, icy pastels, and anything with a pink or purple undertone clash with your warmth. Black is harsh - swap it for deep chocolate or espresso brown. Cool greys and washed-out pastels also don't work.

How to wear it

Building your wardrobe

Rich, earthy, warm tones - burnt orange, forest green, mustard, deep teal, and rich chocolate brown. Chocolate brown is your best dark neutral - far more harmonious than black. Forest green works as a year-round neutral for you. Burnt orange is your power colour - wear it head to toe for maximum impact. Amber, tortoiseshell, and wooden accessories all look naturally at home on you.

Prints and patterns

Patterns that work for you

Rich, earthy botanical prints, warm plaid and tartan in rust, forest green, and mustard, and organic animal prints in warm tones. Paisley in your palette is very harmonious. Avoid cool-toned or high-contrast geometric patterns.

Finishing touches

Gold and copper jewellery only - silver looks lifeless against your warmth. Chocolate brown, cognac, and warm tan leather all work beautifully. Amber, tortoiseshell, and wooden accessories feel naturally at home on you.

Hair

Hair

Auburn, copper, warm brown, and dark honey tones are your best. Rich copper balayage and warm red highlights are stunning on you. Avoid cool ash, platinum, or blue-toned black - your palette demands warmth from roots to tips.

Makeup

Makeup

Warm earth tones across the board. Burnt orange, warm brick red, and deep coral lip shades are stunning. Bronzer and warm peachy-gold highlighter work beautifully. For eyes, copper, burnt orange, forest green, and warm brown shadows complement your natural colouring. Gold and copper liner rather than black.
