True Autumn

True Autumn (also called Warm Autumn) is defined by warmth with medium depth. Golden, earthy colors make your skin look rich and even, and cool or icy colors tend to look disconnected from your face.

  • Warm brown, auburn or copper hair
  • Warm brown, amber or olive-green eyes
  • Skin with a golden or olive cast

Common traits, not rules. Plenty of True Autumns have none of them.
