#TRUE AUTUMN WARDROBE HOW TO#

True Spring colours are vibrant, clear and more contrasting.Д¬ompared to Soft Autumn, the colours are warmer, brighter and slightly darker overall.ДЄnd compared to the third Autumn season Dark Autumn, the colours are warmer, softer and slightly lighter.ДЄs sister palettes, Soft Autumn and Dark Autumn both share True AutumnвЂ™s aspects of muted and warm, respectively. With their opposite season True Spring, the colours share the same warmth but are muted and darker. And the colours are rich, medium-dark and very warm. True Autumn sits between Soft Autumn and Dark Autumn on the seasonal flow chart. However, the colours may overall appear more saturated because our eyes are more reactive to warm colours. In line with this seasonвЂ™s secondary aspect, the colours are medium-low in chroma. And while most colours are in the middle of the value scale, there are more that lean towards the darker end. The colours range from fairly light (beige) to fairly dark (deep brown). Instead, there are more yellows, greens and warm browns, which are naturally yellow-based. And you will only see warmer shades of blue that have a tint of yellow, like turquoise. Consequently, you will find very few shades of blue (which is the coolest colour of all). This means the colours contain yellow undertones but no blue undertones at all. Thus, the colour palette sits at the warmest end of the hue scale. This is also worth remembering if you whiten your teeth - if you make them whiter than the whites of your eyes, your eyes can dull by comparison, and itвЂ™s hard for other people to focus on anything but your teeth.True AutumnвЂ™s primary aspect is warm. But be careful with light shades, because many have a white reflect, which will just be unflattering on you as the True Winter white drape was. Metallic eyeshadows can be fabulous here, especially in the medium or deeper colours, like bronze or antique gold.

This certainly doesnвЂ™t mean you have to avoid shimmer altogether. ThatвЂ™s part of what gives them their sparkle, and compels our attention.Д¬reating higher shine or lighter lights somewhere else on the face will dull your eyes and make you look sweaty, not glowy. The highest shine and lightest colour on the face is in the eyes. I donвЂ™t recommend highlighter for Dark Autumn.ДЄutumns in their own colours have beautiful velvety skin, and melting, captivating eyes. It doesnвЂ™t take much when the colours are perfect. Make sure the bronzer is not too orange (better for True Autumn) or ashy (Soft Autumn).ДЇor a simple, natural day look, wear a wash of beige or brown eyeshadow, black-brown mascara, a smoked-peach lip or a sheer berry one, and add a bit of the lip colour to the cheeks. The pin-up look can also be done, with flicked liner, a beige eyeshadow instead of white, and a deeper, warm red lip.Д«ronzer is a quintessentially Autumnal product, and so the bronze goddess look works here too. Choose a peachy-brown colour from the palette.ДЇor maximum drama swap the nude lip for a deep, vampy one, like merlot or fig. The eye is warmed, often bronzed, and be careful not to go too light on the lip. Smoky eyes and nude lips work on no-one better than a Dark Autumn. If you mix them with your own colours, you can create an overall Dark Autumn look, like so: You donвЂ™t necessarily need to throw them out, though. By themselves these will generally be too cool for you, and have the effects on you that you saw in cool colours at your draping - drained complexion, gaunt face, serious expression, etc. Realistically though, youвЂ™re likely to have blacks in your wardrobe that arenвЂ™t perfect. It has a subtle greenish undertone when compared to True Winter black. You have a black that is in your palette, that youвЂ™ll see on the cover of your TCI Dark Autumn fan. One of the first questions clients will ask me is: вЂњCan I wear black?вЂќ Once you have your colours, creating outfits becomes easy, because every colour in the palette goes with every other colour.
