«The colors of autumn women are reminiscent of foliage and spices, they are soft and toned down shades, warm and welcoming just like the season that characterizes them. Because of this it is a very varied season: we move from a deep autumn, called deep, like Jennifer Lopez to the warm ones like Julia Roberts up to the soft subgroups like Gigi Hadid which are very close to summer and which are enhanced with a touch of sweetly golden champagne” explains Filetti.
So how to orient yourself? Starting from deep womentheir beauty is very similar to that of winter women: the colors are dark, both for the eyes and for the hair, which is why it is important that maintain their dark background coloroften tending towards chocolate: «It can be made brighter thanks to gods warm reflections but not too much like hazelnut or bronze to be applied especially on the tips. In this sense Jennifer Lopez she is a teacher.”

Women like Emma Watson, Julianne Moore or Vanessa Incontrada have to though be careful of too obvious contrasts: «For them one is better delicate copper or a gentle red, no to bright red which risks making the features heavier.

In case of cold winter, such as Lily Collins: «It is very fascinating to maintain the contrast between very light skin and dark hair. This doesn’t mean blondes are precluded: you can opt for a dark color at the roots and a shaded effect at the tips by choosing icy and very cold blondes, which create a very strong image and enhance the characteristics of this season with such clear contrasts.

The Warm springs hold up reds perfectly: «Women like Noemi, Jessica Chastain, Miriam Leone they can risk reds like the tiziano but also orange because basically they have a clear and sunny balance.”
Finally, for the springs bright? «In this case contrast reigns supreme, like a Paola Turani or Angelina Jolie. If the contrast is said as in the first case, therefore light eyes but not very light hair, then the shades of the color must be dark, otherwise they flatten the result. If instead the hair is brown, as in Jolie’s case, you can try golden brown but neither too hot nor cold. The important thing is to create shades while maintaining a dark base.”
