What foundation undertone should a True Autumn look for?
Golden undertone; bronzy warmth reads as health on you.
True Autumn coloring is warm (golden/yellow-based), medium in depth, and moderately clear.

True Autumn makeup: common questions
What is the most flattering lipstick shade for a True Autumn?
Tomato Bisque (#BF3E1D) — it is the most pigmented lip-range color in the True Autumn palette, which is why it is the one shade to buy first. The wider direction from the True Autumn report is brick red, warm terracotta and spiced brown-rose.
Can a True Autumn wear a nude lip?
Yes, and the True Autumn version of nude is Deep Salmon (#C96F4A) — 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 True Autumn wear bronzer or gold-toned shimmer?
True Autumn metals are gold, and shimmer follows the same rule as jewelry. Lead with gold-toned product; bright silver, chrome and white gold near the face.
Does a True Autumn suit a bold lip or a soft one?
True Autumn coloring is moderately clear, so the palette answers this directly: 4 of its colors carry enough pigment for a statement lip and 3 sit soft enough for a wash. Terracotta or warm apricot bronze is the everyday setting.
