Rachel’s Clean Beauty Makeup, Reimagined: A Maple Autumn Transformation

Rachel came to The Palette Edit with a clean cosmetics mandate. We delivered, by bringing out her warm maple autumn features with a palette of clean, make-up that met her needs while bringing out her natural beauty.

Rachel is a marketing professional, a hands-on mom to a spirited six-year-old, and a devoted clean beauty advocate. From skincare to lipstick, everything she uses must meet her non-negotiables: clean, non-toxic, and cruelty-free.

“I’ve always believed that what goes on your skin should be as intentional as what goes into your body,” she said. “But finding clean products that actually suit my coloring? That’s been the frustrating part.”

Rachel has warm, muted coloring—clear blue eyes, medium ash-brown hair, and softly golden skin that looked best in earthy neutrals. But most clean makeup brands only offered limited shade ranges. Lipsticks were too pink. Foundations leaned ashy or orange. Eyeshadows washed her out.

Enter The Palette Edit.

After submitting her segmented photo set, Rachel received a full analysis confirming her true palette: Maple Autumn – The Muted Warmth Edit. This profile thrives in rich, earthy hues: soft terracotta, golden camel, olive green, and warm mushroom taupe—tones that echo the turning leaves of autumn and the soft golden light of dusk.

Rachel’s priorities were clear: clean beauty only. The Palette Edit curated a tailored set of clean brand recommendations in both budget-friendly and luxury tiers—all in precise Maple Autumn shades.

From warm-neutral foundations and softly toasted blush to earthy shadow palettes and lipsticks in clay rose and warm brick, Rachel’s new makeup routine finally felt aligned—with her skin tone and her values.

“The Palette Edit didn’t just tell me what my colors were,” she said. “They showed me I could stick to clean beauty and still look like the best version of myself.”

Now, Rachel moves through her days with ease—glowing in harmonious, skin-friendly tones that reflect who she is inside and out.
