I was thinking to myself that perhaps one day to narrow down this Soft Autumn vs True Autumn confusion is to fin a photo of myself where I absolutely 'love' my makeup and where I've received the MOST compliments over the years. I honestly didn't even have to think about it - I instantly knew which photo to go to - I think of all the makeup looks I've done, this is the one that I get the most feedack and compliments on. I decided to post it on FB and hear everyones opinion on which season it belongs to - I got a 'photo' response back from my friend who created this for me and I have to say that its amazing how well these shades fit with the Soft Autumn fan:
I've been looking at this fan and noticing that the SA shades that suit me the best are the deeper ones - someone even noticed that my hair-colour in the first photo actually matches the reddish-brown dark shade within the actual Soft Autumn palette. I'm finding all of this very interesting and eye-opening and I have to admit that I love the blues of this palette against my skintone!!! Here is a list of the makeup I used in top photo:
FACE:
Loreal True match concealer in N4
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in 'Nude'
MAC's Refined Golden Bronzer'
BLUSH:
Bobbi Brown 'Tawny' Blush
MAC's mineralize blush in 'Gentle'
(on the apples of cheeks)
EYES:
Shroom eyeshadow as base (MAC)
Laura Mercier eyeshadow in 'Pewter'
on lid into crease
Teddy Eyeliner (MAC) - top and bottom lashline
Copperplate eyeshadow - MAC
(used to smudge teddy liner on the upper lashline only)
Loreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black
LIPS:
Spice Lipliner by Annabelle
Baroque Lipstick - Chanel
