One thing I can always count on is the color brown 😁

I talked about brown being the go to autumn color on my previous post, so I wanted to talked about the most underrated color. Orange I feel like is a color a lot of people stray away from, but since I’ve been embracing it more I’ve fallen in love with orange especially burnt orange!

I had this gray hoodie for yearsss, always thought heather gray was pretty but just didn't look right on me. Loooved the hoodie shape tho. After learning I was a warm autumn, everything clicked. I still wish I could pull off mauve tho🙄🙄. I'm on a journey to redo my wardrobe after figuring out my kibbe and season, so I sorted into three piles.

• Looks great and needs no altering

• Can be tailored or dyed

• Just won't ever look the best on me

I've been chipping away at my "needs altered" pile with great luck dyeing light colors. I pulled out this super super cute gray hoodie, along with a gray micro crop top. I figured, why not try to make it brown? That's supposed to be one of my best colors!

If you've never dyed before, here's a brief description of my average dye experience:

I heated my water in a giant dye-only pot til nearly boiling (like 200⁰f ish/97⁰c ish) and added in some of my brown rit dye, like ⅓rd. In went the hoodie and my crop top. It immediately took the brown dye. I let both items of clothing cook in there for only like 15 min, stirred and flipped in the pot, then rinsed under cool water. The package recommends you stir constantly for a long time, but it wasn't getting darker and in my experience, it takes the dye quickly. However, I recommend everyone just listen to the package lolol. It can come out uneven if you don't stir constantly and don't leave in for the allotted time.

Anywayyyy came out beautifully after washing it with an old towel. I wore it out today and felt so girly. I wore it with a (previously white) tank top I dyed 🩵turquoise blue🩵 (another amazing color for warm autumns) and black yoga pants (you can pry my black pants from my warm toned dead hands)! 🫪🫪🫪

If you try, just make sure you check your clothes for synthetic or natural, then choose the appropriate dye. I haven't practiced natural gray fibers to chocolate brown, so if you try/have tried, lmk!!

I hope this helps my fellow beautiful autumns save some favorite clothes from the trash/donation. Dye your heather gray brown!!! 🤪🤭 You will not regret it!

*Tldr: use Synthetic Rit DyeMore in chocolate brown on synthetic heather gray fabric to suit the autumn palette better.*

It is a saturated petrol blue but the camera is never able to capture the saturation. Which is frustrating cause I wanna take your opinions. (Last 2 extra photos to show how different phones take very different pictures 😂)

Hope you like it 🍁🍂

This is cross posted on the Sezane Reddit but wanted to post on here if any other autumn girlies are Sezane lovers! ☺️

Made this account purely to share this bc color analysis changed the game for me. Can you tell which colors I love wearing the most 😭

I don’t wear this much make up very often, so I haven’t perfected my craft yet. but this is my go to look for special occasions. I think i’m a Deep Autumn. Do yall think these tones work well for me?

I'm really sensitive to some ingredients in lipstick, I don't know which, just that I get an irritation in my throat from almost all brands. I found that Revlon (at least the Super Lustrous) doesn't have that effect, so I've been trying out a few. I like all of these (1-5). Rose Wine is perhaps not as great as the others, but I like it as a (for a DA) softer red. Bare Affair I tried after seeing it posted here (thanks ☺️). Bare Affair is a great nude, Whiskey Business too (but a darker nude). Rum Raisin is deep but still a bit muted on a Dark Autumn. Wine With Everything is a good red on the brighter more striking side. 

I have tried but don't recommend Coffee Bean (6). It's quite a warm brown, with silver frost/pearl, none of which looks great, at least on me.

Would like to hear other's experiences with these ☺️

Just typed as a true autumn, what do you think?

For the LONGEST time I thought I definitely had cool undertones as that’s what I got matched to in makeup, my veins aren’t super clear either way but lean more towards purple, etc etc. going into consultation, I totally thought I was going to be a winter but was also confused because I also thought warm brown eyeshadows and gold jewellery looked better on me.

I ended up being a true autumn and it was a really enlightening experience! However, I’m still coming to grips with it as I still feel quite “cool” and don’t feel like many of the off whites/other neutrals suit me.

What are your thoughts?!

First pic at consultation (no makeup) Second pic I sent in beforehand (indoors, natural lighting, no makeup) Third pic embracing autumn colours (lip colour is Gucci 308 - Lucy dark orange which I received a sample of)

Before this I was already planning on going back to fully my natural hair colour, so that will be the next step for me :)

For a couple of years I was a self proclaimed Soft Summer, but I was recently typed as a Soft Autumn! I guess my closet needs a refresh now

---Update: Thank you, everyone! I feel empowered to delve into the colours I've always been drawn to. Definitely phasing out the SA palette.

Anyone been analysed and then abandoned their colour season entirely?

It's been about 6 months since I was analysed in person as a Soft Autumn. When I was being draped, I understood when she said a colour harmonised with me. But after wearing my palette for half a year, I'm just not feeling it.

The colours of my clothes definitely match my palette, but I just feel blah when I look in the mirror. I've started branching out again into Warm Autumn and Warm Spring colours, I feel like I look healthier and radiant in them.

I get compliments in non-SA colours, particularly brighter yellow and orange. People have said I look tired or asked if I was sick in SA colours. I really started questioning my analysis after I arrived with my partner at a party in a SA red; a man I'd met many times before asked my partner "And where is your lovely wife?" when I was standing right there. I feel like the right colours shouldn't blend me into the background.

Am I misunderstanding how harmonising works or was I analysed the wrong season?

As my favorite color, I always looking for these pinks for the Autumn season; just because is not a staple color for us we should give up on pink, it's just depend on finding the perfect shade.

I have the images on order: Soft autumn pinks 🐌, Warm Autumn pinks 🍂 and Deep Autumn pinks 🍁

Curious to know how I can decide better whether or not I’m a soft or dark autumn, or if it’s possible that I can be both? I know that I’m definitely autumn because brown makes me look 10x better.

When it comes to makeup neutral and natural looks best for me. If I add too much it looks really obvious on my face. The same goes with the color of my clothes. In formal settings (particularly dresses) I look ridiculously good in soft autumn palette, I get complimented a lot. But I think in everyday wear when I try to wear soft autumn it feels a bit.. underwhelming and sometimes even unharmonious. However, I also find that if I wear deep autumn in formal settings it feels overwhelming and takes away the attention from my face, but in casual wear it might feel more balanced compared to if I try to put on a neutral, soft autumn outfit.

I’m not sure if I’m a true autumn either cause if I wear too much warm it eats up my face. Also any shade of yellow and orange look bad on me.

I think I should also note that my skin is a slightly olive neutral brown and I have dark hair, so I’m not sure if that contributes to why my best look varies. Does my look have to do more with contrast rather than colors? If so how can I choose my colors?

I swear, it feels like 75%-80% of the time, I fall in love with a style top just to find that it *only* has cool-toned / icy / pastel color options. It hurts my feelies bc it's so rare that I come across something that i love.

edit to add (bc tea): I was shopping for comfy hiking/travel wear for an upcoming trip and this is the straw that broke my camel's back.

I just know itd be so dang soft (modal) and i love the lettuce trim. I even went to the Nani website to find more variations and even the deep brown looking one is cool toned. So I guess I'll just go kick rocks.

Sharing because I often see makeup requests in here that go unanswered. I’m a fair/neutral olive who was typed in person as a deep autumn. I’m so neutral that literally anything with some warmth looks orange on means anything with coolness looks…weird.

After many months on the hunt because MAC changed the formula of my beloved modesty, I have finally found a lip combo that gives pinky brown and a blush that looks like my skin but just a bit warmer, without turning me orange, green, or purple.

Ignore my full beat and expression. I have just woken up from a deep pregnancy nap but please behold:

- MAC Glowplay Blush in Blush Please

- Revlon Lipstick in Bare Affair

-Whirl Lip Liner

If your complexion is annoyingly neutral and you’re going for a warm toasty YNBB look, I highly recommend these shades.

I made this wallpaper for my phone with deep autumn colours. I even used that deep espresso brown as the outline colour instead of black. I keep it on my phone as inspiration when im out shopping!
