How to recreate foliage makeup The most beautiful autumn eye makeup has the colors of leaves

Every autumn, the scene is always the same: leaves change color, covering every corner of the city with the warm hues of the season. Foliage makeup takes its cue from the colors of autumn leaves: copper, bronze, deep greens, and burgundy echo the shades of leaves before they fall, creating an intense look that’s still light and wearable. Here’s everything you need to know to achieve it.

Foliage makeup: how to do it

In the end, we’re always inspired by our surroundings, and what better choice than to wear the colors of the season? Autumn brings a natural palette of warm, cozy tones: soft browns, copper, olive green, and burgundy shades that give the eyes depth and softness. There’s no need for strong contrasts or special effects, just let the colors you see outside guide you. That’s how foliage make-up works: it almost becomes an extension of the landscape.

The foliage makeup palette

The eyes are the focus of this look. Rust, bronze, and copper eyeshadows light up the gaze without weighing it down. Green shades, especially khaki and olive, add depth and make lighter eyes pop, while burgundy and plum brighten darker eyes with an elegant touch. And of course, soft browns are essential: perfect for blending colors together and enhancing the look effortlessly. Play and experiment with textures and finishes, creamy, shimmer, or fully matte, everything is welcome.

How to complete the makeup?

To complete the look, keep the same balance of warmth and naturalness. Blush works best in delicate, warm tones like peach, terracotta, or soft pinks, which illuminate without weighing down the face. Lips have more freedom: a warm nude or gloss for simpler days, or a deep burgundy or berry shade if you want to emphasize the lips while keeping the eyes lighter. The key is to keep everything harmonious.
