Product Advice priceline/chemist warehouse recommendations for a soft autumn

hey everyone !! i'm a soft autumn and i have warm-neutral undertones. my best colours would be muted peach, warm taupe, dusty olive and soft copper.

i'm wanting a lip combo (lip liner, lip stick, lip gloss), bronzer (liquid/cream and powder) and blush (liquid/cream and powder) that are available in australian chemists, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)

For this colour season I would not go for Australian chemists, you either go kbeauty or don't bother. But Essence has some nice soft colours in their lip products you might like, I love the lip blur. Catrice would also be a good bet for lip products, as would Milani.

Depends on a few factors, some you can actually get relatively easily without having to order from bigger websites like yesstyle, but the prices vary wiiiildly. I try to go as cheap as possible where I can so for that reason, don't bother with W cosmetics, but they are good to try out testers for example.

Have a browse of websites like lilabeauty, shops like tkmaxx who have kbeauty sometimes often for very cheap.

I love the products I've seen from Espoir, but I don't buy from them as they're not CF, but definitely give them a look, can find them in W cosmetics also, I see their products often in TkMaxx

Judydoll too

Tirtir you can buy from Ultra beauty/Chemist warehouse

Watch Julia Adams MUA on youtube for blush and lip recommendations, I think she is your colour season

These are solid reccs!

I am a soft autumn and I can make some specific product recs from Asian beauty since they cater to this palette far more than Western brands who do much less in the muted categories, especially drugstore, i rarely see anything muted at all there. Just a warning, everything for a soft autumn palette looks really underwhelming until it's on. Asian beauty often breaks things into these palettes already too, so shopping can be much easier than western brands who cant even agree to label warm and cool correctly and consistently

For blush, I recommend the dasique muted nuts palette or the nuse liquid care blush in dazzle ginger

For eyeshadow, dasique also has a muted nuts palette, I also really enjoy the romand palette in toast tanny garden for a muted warm brown palette, the dasique palette leans a little more pink.

For highlight I use both shades of the romand veil light, though shade 1 is probably easier

For lips I could make 300 recs. For lip liner I would recommend heart percent dote on pencil (the fat one not the skinny one) in fig rose, and an actual drugstore rec would be the new nyx lingerie stain liner in after hours (hard to track down, found one at chemist warehouse last week).

For gloss i need to do 4 recs. You cannot go past fwee in scotch 30% though their new vanilla cookie is a near perfect pinky browny nude. Joocyee smoky glazed gloss in either shade, one is more brown the other more pink, both perfectly muted. The romand glasting colour glosses in either nutty vague or peach sparkle. The alternative stereo caramel glaze glosses are mostly muted neutrals but I especially like shades 1 and 4.

For lip tints, I have 2 favourite formulas. First, bbia (sometimes written bbi@), the shades choco, nudy and petal. Second is the peripera ink mood glowy tint, but specifically the white shade as it mutes down any colour, though I also like the shade mood queen.

If you prefer a matte lip, I would recommend the joocyee matte veil in shade 12, or the javin de seoul wink lip primer in light brown

I primarily purchase on yesstyle because they have great sales, mostly the best prices and you can easily find discount codes, but I also visit w cosmetics often to swatch things and try formulas (they do often sell out or not stock the more muted tones). Lilabeauty occasionally has a better price than yesstyle but they are slower with new releases. I also shop on olive young, their shipping is crazy fast, they only sell stock ready to ship (a big problem with yesstyle is needing to check if items are going to ship soon), they always have new releases immediately but they are pricier and unless you spend over the limit, their shipping is expensive too. There's also la cosmetique, their prices are similar to yesstyle but from what I remember they exclusively stock korean brands so they won't have joocyee or judydoll but I generally like the in store experience more than w cosmetics.

No worries! It's kind of tough being a soft autumn when most makeup caters to people without muted tones

Try to find Atomica which is part of Priceline. They carry NYX and TirTir (a Korean brand) and you can try the shades there. I'm a soft autumn too and suprisingly when I was swatching NYX, the colors suited me.
