Soft Autumn/Muted Autumn everyday makeup: one full face, seventeen steps. A soft, skin-like base in a warm-neutral shade, a muted bronze contour, a coral and terracotta flush, a dusty champagne glow, soft brown brows, warm copper on the lids, espress...
Soft Autumn skin should look warm, soft and a little hazy, so the base is where you keep the contrast low. A light SPF serum first, then a skin tint and concealer with a neutral or warm undertone, matched to your depth. A yellow-toned powder only whe...
Ā
The reason the base looks like skin and not paint: it is a sheer serum tint with SPF 40, so your freckles and warmth still show. Kokkini is a medium with neutral warm undertones, so go lighter or deeper in the same warm-neutral family for your depth....
ST12 Kokkini Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 - ILIA
Ā
A serum concealer that brightens under the eyes without turning gray or pink on warm-neutral skin. NOHO is a medium with neutral golden undertones, so check the golden and neutral shades near your depth. Tap it on the inner corners and blend with a f...
A soft yellow translucent powder that sets the base without the white cast. The yellow tint keeps warm-neutral skin looking warm instead of ashy. Use a small fluffy brush and only press it where you shine: forehead, nose and under the eyes.

Ā
The last step that makes powder and tint look like one skin. A fine mist keeps the finish soft and slightly dewy, which suits a muted look better than a hard matte. Hold it at arm length and give two quick sprays.

Ā
A light SPF 47 serum with green tea for the first step. It keeps the base soft and skin-like, which is what Soft Autumn needs. Smooth it over the face and neck and give it a minute before foundation.
This is where Soft Autumn gets its glow. Shape with a soft bronze that reads like a natural shadow, then add a terracotta flush on the apples, a sheer peach balm on top of it and a pinky bronze glow on the cheekbones. Stark pink or cool shades tend t...
Ā
Light-medium bronze with neutral-warm undertones, so it reads like a soft shadow and not an orange stripe. A cream stick melts into skin and keeps the contrast low, which is what this season wants. Draw it under the cheekbone and blend up with finger...

Ā
Earthy terracotta for soft, sculptural depth, which is exactly the flush this season looks best in. It melts in without going glossy and works on cheeks and lips. Dab it on the apples and blend out toward the temples, then use what is left on your li...
Glitzed is a pinky bronze glow, which gives soft warmth on the cheekbones instead of a cold silver flash. The stick melts in with a finger, so the shine looks like skin and not glitter. Tap it on the top of the cheekbones and the bridge of the nose.

Ā
Beverly Hills is a soft peach, a sheer second layer of color that keeps the terracotta from looking heavy. It is a balm, so it sits like a flush and not a stripe. Tap it over the first blush on the highest point of the cheek, or wear it alone on a qu...

š¤ Brows & Eyes
Soft Autumn eyes look best soft and warm, so skip stark black and icy shimmer. A soft brown brow keeps the frame gentle, copper or rosy bronze on the lid adds warmth, a dark brown liner defines the lashes and an espresso mascara finishes it. Together...
Ā
Forbidden Rose is a shimmering copper with a rosy glow, like soft bronze on the lid. It suits a muted face because the color stays warm and the finish is creamy, not glittery. Swipe it on the lid, press with a fingertip and leave it there for a quick...

Ā
Serif is a matte dark brown, a softer line than black that still defines the eye. A brown liner keeps the contrast low and the look warm, which suits this season better than a stark black wing. Draw close to the upper lashes and smudge it a little wi...
Serif Thru Line Waterproof Eyeliner - ILIA
Ā
Drift is a rich espresso brown, a softer frame than jet black that still gives length and curl. Brown lashes keep the whole face low contrast and warm, which is the point of this palette. Wiggle the wand at the base, then pull up and out, and skip th...
Soft Brown keeps the brow gentle and muted, which suits Soft Autumn better than a hard dark line. Use the ultra fine tip for small hair strokes and brush through for a natural finish.

š Lips
Soft Autumn lips look best in warm, muted color, like coral, terracotta rose or dusty warm pink. Line them with a soft rose, fill with the coral matte, and on easy days use the rosewood stain alone. Skip stark red, blue-based berry and neon, they fig...
Ā
Check Me Out is a warm rose, a lip liner that shades the edge without a harsh outline. It is a soft line that blends with muted coral and terracotta lipsticks instead of fighting them. Trace the outer edge and fill the lips in so the lipstick lasts l...

Ā
Fluffy Hug is a warm, muted coral: color without the neon or the stark red that overpowers a soft coloring. The blurred matte finish looks like a stain with a little more body. Dab it in the center of the lips with a finger or a brush and press outwa...
A warm pink coral stain with a built-in liner, so it works as a soft rosewood flush for easy days. The felt tip lets you outline and fill in one step. Press it on, blot with a tissue and build a second layer only if you want more color.
The last step before bed, a glossy peptide treatment in Salted Caramel. Press a thin layer over bare lips at night so they feel soft in the morning, and use a little over the matte color in the day.
