Autumn Warm tone: colors, makeup and K-beauty shades

Rich, warm and muted. Your skin has real depth and an olive-gold cast that thrives in terracotta, camel, olive and brick. Bright cool shades sit on the surface and look artificial. Korea reads this as the 'mood brown' palette: brick lips and bronze lids.

Makeup

Autumn Warm makeup tips

  • Bronze and copper eyeshadow rather than cool taupe.
  • Brick and terracotta blush placed low and diffuse for a warm flush.
  • Matte and velvet lip finishes hold their own against your depth.
  • Gold highlighter only; silver reads gray on you.
