Dark Autumn Makeup Colors
Now, to the part you’ve been waiting for! Here’s a quick dive into this beautiful dark autumn makeup palette.
Keep in mind, a consistent theme you’ll see for all of these colors is dark or deep and warm- the dominate aspects of this color season. (Deep being the primary dominant factor.)
Dark Autumn Eye Makeup
You can create endless dark autumn makeup looks. In this case, we’re showcasing our favorite fall color combinations based on the unique features.
- Deep green eyes and medium golden brown hair- Green eyes look great paired with red and coral tones. (Green and red are complimentary colors and sit across from one another on the color wheel.) We chose a soft medium shade that adds contrast to brow and liner and really makes the green pop.
- Deep hazel eyes and dark golden brown hair- With a mix or green, brown, and red in hazel eyes, you can use any of those colors to enhance the hazel. In this case, we chose a green eyeshadow and brown liner to blend with the eye and brow coloring.
- Deep brown eyes and dark amber hair- Both the hair and eye color are very warm with reddish tones. We chose to add to this by using a warm red shadow and brown liner.
- Warm black eyes and warm black hair– Both brows and eyes the darkest tones for this color family. We added a slight contrast with medium smokey shadow, but also kept a blend with a darker liner.
Eyeshadow
The dark autumn makeup colors can sure create a fun eyeshadow palette. (In fact, you’ll find these tones in almost every fall eye makeup palette.)
You have a wide variety of deep, golden and warm tones to choose from. Look for golden yellows, rusty pinks and reds, and neutral and warm greens, grays, and browns.
The dark autumn color season is dominantly dark and this is the same for the eye shadow colors. Avoid bright or super light colors or those that have very cool tones.
Eyeliner
Eyeliner colors for dark autumns range from beautiful dark neutrals to medium and darker fashion purples, blues, and gold.
Again, the consistent trend here is dark. Avoid cool dominant tones as well as bright or super light tones.
Mascara
Traditional black mascara can look great on this color season, or a toned town brown black.
We also recommend choosing a dark warm brown mascara. (Mascara tones are often the darkest options on your wardrobe color palette.)
Avoid wearing shades that are much darker, or much lighter than your natural hair color.
Brow Filler Colors
Your eyebrow pencil should match your natural hair color. Unfortunately, this sometimes mean you might need to mix and match a few shades to get that perfect shade.
The color listed on the brow filler should have warm, deep, or dark listed on it. For example deep brown, or warm brown. Avoid colors that are marked cool or light.
Dark Autumn Makeup Colors for Face
Your natural skin tones will be an easy guide to help you find the perfect foundation and blush colors.
Dark autumns have neutral and neutral warm skin tones. This means you’ll want to look for N or NW on the bottles for face makeup.
Foundation
When a makeup artist color tests you for foundation, one thing they look for is undertone. When color testing a dark autumn, you’ll have various shades and neutral and neutral warm undertones.
Foundation bottles almost always have undertones clearly marked on the bottle. dark autumns should look for the N or NW.
Blush
When choosing blush colors, you’ll again want to look for colors you would describe as deep and warm.
You’ll also want to gravitate toward warm shades like warm corals and rusty red tones. Avoid very cool pinks and bright tones.
Dark Autumn Lipstick
The best lipstick color for dark autumn is going to have noticeable darker or warm tones.
Colors like nude browns, goldens, neutral warm pinks, and rust reds look stunning on this color season.
Avoid bright colors with cool tones like bright pinks and bright cool reds.
