The toasty makeup is nothing other than an autumn makeup. Warm, comforting, and soft while retaining the effects of the sun on the skin, it draws inspiration from the warm colors of the new season that is beginning.
A perfect aesthetic transition to approach the start of autumn, the toasty makeup does require a bit of subtlety to avoid the “Halloween before its time” effect, if you know what I mean. It’s not always easy to handle shades like red, orange, or brown discreetly…
That’s why I’m offering you a little ready-to-wear makeup guide for the chestnut season, tailored to every skin tone.
Ready? Let’s go.
The Perfect Colors for Toasty Makeup
We are, of course, talking about colors inspired by autumn: shades of caramel, brown, deep red, or even coppery and orangey reflections, reminiscent of leaves in motion and the golden light of the end of the day.
But the toasty look isn’t limited to an earthy and nostalgic palette. Some more unexpected variations break the codes: a stroke of golden yellow eyeliner, almost solar, or a touch of metallic pink brings an optimistic and contemporary note. It’s this subtle mix of enveloping warmth and vibrant accents that gives this makeup its strength: it makes autumn cozy and softer.
For Brunettes
There are several advantages to adopting a toasty makeup if you are a brunette. Let’s start with the best: brunettes will love this makeup trend that enhances the femme fatale aspect. It plays on mystery and sensuality with its dark and warm tones.
For Light Brown and Golden Hair
For light brown brunettes, it’s good to play with two, or even three colors at most in the nude beige-light brown shade to create a gradient of autumnal colors without weighing down the face.
For Chocolate, Mahogany, and Hazelnut Brunettes
For brunettes with chocolate, mahogany, or hazelnut reflections, the idea is to highlight the natural richness of the hair without overloading. Warm shades like soft copper, reddish brown, or a slight golden hue awaken the depth of the color and recall autumn tones. The trick? Focus on subtle touches, two shades maximum, that bring dimension and light without hardening the face.
For Dark and Deep Brunettes
For brunettes with very dark hair and those with beautiful black hair, the most important thing will be to keep the face luminous. Also, remember that outside, the sunlight will soon be just a memory… and that you need to prepare to maintain a makeup that is rather light when it’s gray outside, especially if you wear dark clothes. Choose soft and vibrant colors like pink. In powder form, you can apply it to the inner eye to open up the gaze, as well as in blush for a healthy glow.
For Blondes
For Platinum and Polar Blondes
Cool and bright colors work best for these incredibly beautiful blondes, such as pearl gray, off-white, icy pastel pink, or pale blue. These shades enhance the glow and coolness of polar blonde without weighing down the face.
For Venetian and Golden Blondes
All warm and soft… shades like light caramel, warm beige, soft peach, or golden ivory bring light to the complexion.
For Ash and Beige Blondes
Ash blondes are elegant. Therefore, we will favor neutral and soft tones like light taupe, rosy beige, sand, or light mocha. These shades balance the freshness of ash blonde and offer a natural finish.
For Redheads
For Light and Venetian Redheads
Soft and bright colors suit best, like pale coral, golden beige, peach, or warmed Venetian blonde. They highlight the warm reflections of light red without creating too violent a contrast.
For Copper and Red Redheads
Rich and vibrant tones will accentuate the warm side of your hair without saturating it. Look for shades like light burgundy, terracotta, bronze, or rust. These hues bring out the intensity of the coppery and red reflections.
For Mahogany and Dark Redheads
Have fun highlighting your femme fatale side with shades like milk chocolate, hazelnut brown, mocha, or mahogany red. These colors intensify the richness of dark red and give a sophisticated look.
