Can we have a house of colour thread just for Autumns here please?

It would be nice to share our finds and get advice.

First up, this coral dress from Nougat London

I have coral or gold shoes, and a gold shrug or light peachy cardi to wear over it. Which would work best, or any other combinations that I should consider?

Nice dress, I wear a lot of coral and forest or khaki green. Search coral outfits on Pinterest for more inspiration.

I always research colour combos on Pinterest, great for outfit ideas.

Destinysdaughter · 07/07/2016 21:21

Waves!

Are any of you a "blue" Autumn?

Destinysdaughter · 07/07/2016 21:33

Was wondering, as Autumns, which lipstick do pp use? I prefer nudes, don't suit red at all!

workingclasslegs · 07/07/2016 21:39

soft blue autumn here, but can't for the life of me remember what the soft/blue bit means.

lipstick, i'm going with rusty coppery reds. not brave enough for coral.

I mostly wear nude lipstick, but have some vibrant orange ones that I love. Will try and find a pic.

A reminder of the different Autumn 'types'
www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/blog/autumn-explaining-the-different-types

For HoC lippies - I use 410 the most often, someone 5 sometimes 606

AnneGables · 07/07/2016 21:47

I can't find one but it's a Maybelline one, great shade.

ArfurFacksake · 07/07/2016 21:54

Thanks for that Charitygirl!

Can we add out actual colouring please?

Me
Eyes: Very dark brown
Skin: Freckles but tans golden brown
Hair: Auburny brown with a few gold blonde highlights

Thanks!

Charitygirl1 · 07/07/2016 21:58

Eyes: blue
Hair: blonde
Skin: quite fair but some freckles

I'm a 'rich/vibrant' autumn but quite a lot of my 2** colours come from the blue autumn range

MassDebate · 07/07/2016 22:00

Soft Autumn signing in!

Hair: dark golden blonde (mousey underneath the highlights but naturally light blonde in youth)

Eyes: green

Skin: naturally pale but tan well to golden

Destinysdaughter · 07/07/2016 22:04

I had brown reddish hair ( gone grey now so now blonde )
Blue eyes with brown flecks
Pale skin reddish tone with freckles

I'm a 'bright Autumn' apparently.

My best colours are turquoise and bronze.

AnneGables · 07/07/2016 22:09

True/leaf autumn..i think

Brown eyes
Auburn hair, although quite light in the summer
Pale, freckly, my tan is more of a peach colour than actual shade of brown Grin.

I tend to wear lots of mustard, orange and tan. I need more green in my wardrobe though.

workingclasslegs · 07/07/2016 22:14

Eyes: hazel/green/yellow
Hair: dark brown but going blonde very soon
Skin: super pale, never tan. never.

Hello, soft Autumn here. I tend to wear a muted coral type colour lipstick, but in search of some new colours to try.
I haven't bought much recently but really need to invest in new leggings to wear when the weather cools off, so any tips on hose around would be gratefully received!

ArfurFacksake · 07/07/2016 22:16

Fascinating, we're all quite different.

Thanks for starting this thread OP.

I was really disappointed in my analysis.
Hoping to pick up some tips here Smile

poppym12 · 07/07/2016 23:07

I thought I was spring or rather 'warm spring' but that seems to be almost autumn. Very confusing.

ArfurFacksake · 07/07/2016 23:33

Have you had your analysis done Poppy? By HoC?

Salmiak · 07/07/2016 23:41

Eyes - I think it's called hazel but basically Brown centre and then blue/green outer colour

Hair - dark blonde, HOC lady said it's the colour of wet sand

Skin - freckles, quite red undertones

Lipstick - I don't wear any

I basically live in clothes which are olive, teal, green, brown or golden.

poppym12 · 08/07/2016 09:59

Yes arfur, many moons ago. It was part of a class type thing though rather than just me and I didn't really understand it at the time. Obviously I still don't Blush
