Are you a Soft Autumn?

Soft Autumns often have:

  • Neutral to slightly warm skin, often with low contrast
  • Golden brown, dark blonde or soft red hair
  • Soft hazel, green-brown or warm grey eyes

These are common traits, not rules: any skin tone can be any season. The surest way is a daylight selfie.
