People with these types of colorings are often thought of as a Winter, due to the darker eyes, or perhaps a Deep Autumn. Her hair is mostly a neutral brown with some golden highlights. The eyes are a mixture of soft olive, warm brown, greyish-green.

The warmth in Amy's skin is undeniable, but it does seem kind of neutral and muted. But I advise not to go too flat and dark nor too light/platinum blonde, and add warm highlights and/or lowlights to add depth and dimension.īelow is a photo of her with a range of hair color, and she looks great in all of them :) Darker brown or lighter blonde will work, and neither is better than the other. As I tell all Soft Autumns (and Soft Summers), there is a pretty wide range of hair colors that she could wear. Speaking of hair color, she asked me which hair color was better blonde or darker brown. Had her hair been light blonde naturally, I would have no problem labeling her a Dusty Soft Autumn, even a Sunlit Autumn had it been very golden blonde. Another reason was that even as a young child, her hair was not that blonde. I believe she is a Smokey Soft Autumn. I chose the deeper soft Autumn because of the depth of her eyes, though she actually is more mid-value.

Warming things up slightly will amplify the subtle warm tones in her. But she clearly has more warmth than coolness.

This means that she can successfully choose colors from both sides of the spectrum as long as they are not cool or too warm. She has blended temperatures, and as I always say, one will be more dominant than the other one, even if it is just slightly. If she were, perhaps a Soft Summer, warming up her top and adding warm makeup would not be flattering. Her eyes are simply too warm to be a Cool Summer. Along with the navy top and pinkish lipstick and blush that was already there, I added some light grey eyeshadow to test out the previous Cool Summer assessment she received from someone else. I also think of a spice market in an exotic asian or middle eastern location, seeing colours like turmeric yellow, hot paprika spice, warm golden cinnamon etc etc - these seem to be the dominant shades that make true autumn original and unique as a season.The photo on the left (above) was the original photo she sent me. I have to admit that my first impression upon hearing of true autumn, I thought warm autumn leaves that change colour to a rustic-brownish orange, bright mustard yellow, orange-red and golden brown. Since playing around with the true autumn palette and sucessfully matching some warmer neutral shades to the sci/art true autumn fan, there seems to be a difference in how these colours 'harmonize' in terms of creating a look that represents the landscapes of 'true autumn'.
