Can't find your question? Check our FAQ page or contact us.
How do I know if I'm an autumn type?
An autumn type has a warm undertone and an earthy look. Your hair often has a red, copper or golden sheen, your eyes are warm brown, hazel or green and gold suits you better than silver. Sound familiar? Then you're most likely an autumn type.
Which colors suit an autumn type?
Warm, earthy colors with a yellow base: rust, olive green, ochre, teal and burgundy. How soft or deep you wear them depends on your type: Soft, True or Dark Autumn.
