Earth tones will be your go-to summer and fall look

Have you ever noticed how Mother Nature has a knack of putting complementary colors together? Earth tones, especially caramel, orange, and light and dark brown have a natural affinity for one another. When combined with a softly bronzed cheek and barely pink lipstick, you’ll have a makeup look that’s perfect for summer and fall.
A few of these colors may be new to you, especially burnt orange and reddish-orange duochrome, which shifts colors depending on the angle. Start with colors you’re comfortable with, like light brown. It’s the ideal transition shade and prevents the darker colors from overwhelming the eye. This look is beautiful with or without false lashes, so feel free to just use mascara if you want a more subtle style.
