Warm undertone with depth honored — never lightened out.

Deep Autumn coloring is warm (golden/yellow-based), deep in depth, and moderately clear. Foundation is the one product where getting the undertone wrong is visible from across a room, so test it on your jaw in daylight and look for the shade that disappears rather than the one that matches the back of your hand.

Deep Autumn makeup: common questions

What is the most flattering lipstick shade for a Deep Autumn?

Rust Deep (#9B441D) — it is the most pigmented lip-range color in the Deep Autumn palette, which is why it is the one shade to buy first. The wider direction from the Deep Autumn report is oxblood, brown-berry and spiced brick — depth is your signature.

Can a Deep Autumn wear a nude lip?

Yes, and the Deep Autumn version of nude is Aubergine Brown (#4E2A33) — the lightest, least pigmented color in the palette's lip range. A nude borrowed from a different season is what reads as "wrong shade of concealer" rather than nude.

Should a Deep Autumn wear bronzer or gold-toned shimmer?

Deep Autumn metals are gold, and shimmer follows the same rule as jewelry. Lead with gold-toned product; bright silver, chrome and white gold near the face.

Does a Deep Autumn suit a bold lip or a soft one?

Deep Autumn coloring is moderately clear, so the palette answers this directly: 4 of its colors carry enough pigment for a statement lip and 4 sit soft enough for a wash. Deep terracotta, used as sculpt as much as color is the everyday setting.
