What foundation undertone should a Soft Autumn look for?
Warm-neutral; skin-like finish, zero flashback white.
Soft Autumn coloring is warm (golden/yellow-based), medium in depth, and soft and muted.

Soft Autumn makeup: common questions
What is the most flattering lipstick shade for a Soft Autumn?
Terracotta Haze (#BF7051) — it is the most pigmented lip-range color in the Soft Autumn palette, which is why it is the one shade to buy first. The wider direction from the Soft Autumn report is warm rosewood, terracotta nude and brick rose — soft-matte.
Can a Soft Autumn wear a nude lip?
Yes, and the Soft Autumn version of nude is Cinnamon Milk (#C99578) — the lightest, least pigmented color in the palette's lip range. A nude borrowed from a different season is what reads as "wrong shade of concealer" rather than nude.
Should a Soft Autumn wear bronzer or gold-toned shimmer?
Soft Autumn metals are both, leaning gold, and shimmer follows the same rule as jewelry. Lead with gold-toned product; nothing outright — keep the gold closest to your face.
Does a Soft Autumn suit a bold lip or a soft one?
Soft Autumn coloring is soft and muted, so the palette answers this directly: 3 of its colors carry enough pigment for a statement lip and 2 sit soft enough for a wash. Muted apricot is the everyday setting.
