The Tropical Color Duo: 5 Nourishing Fall Pairings for Lips and Cheeks

The Tropical Color Duo: 5 Nourishing Fall Pairings for Lips and Cheeks

Beauty, like nature, moves in rhythm. As the days turn inward and golden, our skin craves new forms of nourishment—and our makeup rituals evolve too. We tend to reach for deeper hues, richer textures, and colors that feel grounding yet alive.

This fall, we invite you to explore color as a form of care. Our Tropical Color Duo brings together two beloved formulas—the Mango Cream Color Pot and Coconut Color Glossy Balm—to infuse lips and cheeks with nourishing hydration and buildable pigment.

Crafted with skin-caring superfoods like organic mango butter, watermelon seed oil, and antioxidant-rich araza fruit, these formulas support your skin while reflecting the richness of the season.

To mark the transition into fall, we’re sharing five of our favorite pairings from the collection—thoughtful combinations that invite warmth, intention, and a touch of radiance into your daily ritual.


LOOK #1: SNUG + MALT

 

Soft dusty rose and warm brown

For the days when you crave quiet comfort. Snug brings a cozy flush to the cheeks, while Malt adds a soft brown warmth to the lips. Together, they evoke that worn-in sweater feeling—refined, familiar, and deeply grounding.


Try this:

Dab Snug onto the apples of your cheeks and blend upward toward the temples using our Cream Sculpting Brush. For the lips, softly trace just outside your natural lip line using our Avocado Butter Brow Pencil in color Light Brown or Brown. Then, gently smudge with your fingertip for a softened, natural contour. Layer Malt over the lips to enhance fullness + color.


LOOK #2: JAM + GEM

Bold berry and soft mauve

A richer take on fall florals. Jam's deep berry tint offers an elegant lift to the cheeks, while Gem’s mauve tone enhances your lips with a graceful softness. This duo is perfect for seasonal gatherings or when you simply want to feel a little more dressed up.

Try this:

Use Jam on the cheeks and blend softly into the crease of your eyelid for a monochromatic effect. Finish with Gem on the lips for balance.


LOOK #3: BARELY + MELBA

Neutral peach and warm coral

For sun lovers who aren't quite ready to say goodbye. Barely adds a whisper of warmth to cheeks, while Melba infuses lips with a fresh, peachy glow. This combination captures the golden light of early October and pairs beautifully with earth-toned knits.

Try this:

Press Barely onto the high points of your cheekbones and blend lightly onto the bridge of the nose for a sun-kissed look. Let Melba shine on lips for a warm, finished fall look.


LOOK #4: RESTED + MERLOT

Mauve calm and sheer wine

Equal parts serene and sultry. Rested lends a quiet depth to the cheeks. On the lips, Merlot brings in just the right touch of drama with its sheer, buildable berry tone. A go-to for fall evenings.

Try this:

Layer Rested under your cheekbones and blend upward for soft sculpting. Build Merlot on lips from a light stain to a deeper berry for an evening-ready finish.


LOOK #5: DUSK + UMBER

Terracotta and warm reddish brown

Fall, in full expression. Dusk warms the cheeks with an earthy terracotta hue, while Umber layers lips with a naturally bold, autumnal depth. It’s a look that reflects the changing leaves and the richness of the season.

Try this:

Use Dusk as both blush and bronzer, blending into cheeks and along the forehead for all-over warmth. Tap Umber onto lips and blot with a tissue for a stained effect, or layer for richness.

A Note on Application

Each pairing was chosen for harmony and versatility. Dab Mango Cream Color Pots onto the cheeks with fingers and blend with our Cream Sculpting Brush. Smooth Coconut Color Glossy Balm over the lips for instant nourishment and pigment. All shades are buildable, so you can tailor your ritual to your mood—soft and subtle, or rich and radiant.

Beauty in fall is about balance. As the world around us slows down and turns inward, our rituals become even more essential. Let these nourishing duos be part of your rhythm—a way to honor your skin, your senses, and the shifting season.
