One thing worth saying

  • People often describe Soft Autumns as having only light brown hair, hazel eyes and fair skin. In practice—especially when analysing clients from East Asian, South Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Latina and mixed-heritage backgrounds—you'll find many Soft Autumns with naturally dark brown hair and brown eyes. The defining characteristics are low contrast, gentle warmth and muted, blended colouring.
