Deep Autumn makeup looks that are more natural and sweet than glamorous
I find Mac Brick o la and Nars Jane (Revlon Rosewine is a good dupe) to be lipstick shades that give me a sweet, pretty look rather than a sultry one, especially when just dabbed on lightly. I pair them with a subtle rosy flush on the apples of my cheeks (Nars Taos), dewy skin, groomed brows, and so

ABH calls these liners muted taupe, deep taupe, and cool brown. I call them orange, medium orange, and dark orange 😂
It's like Mac Taupe... it is NOT TAUPE nor has it ever been.

Soft Autumn Picks
I'm a pale soft autumn and my ride or die lipsticks are MAC Taupe, Twig, and Velvet Teddy for everyday, MAC Marrakesh when I'm feeling bold. I use brown eyeliner and I love taupe-y colors for my eyes. I know you said no shimmer (mid30s is NOT too old for shimmer, my goodness! I'm 42!) but I've been

IM IN NEEEEED OF A DUPE ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Careful with Whirl if you’re NC45, it can lean purply-grey sometimes on melanated skin. If it doesn’t work for you, try Mac taupe which is warmer.

Medium warm olives: What lipsticks actually look natural on you?
Medium warmish olive here and I find Mac Taupe ends up looking quite natural on me. I’m also high contrast (black hair, brown eyes) so that makes a difference too as to how natural it can look. I will warn you though my taupe is the old formula, I’m aware the new one is sliiiightly lighter. Old taup

Luxe makeup products suggestions!
Mac Taupe was the first high end lipstick I bought and it is still very special for me. Either a base product or a lipstick in a shade that you love would be a good choice. Offline as a fellow Redditor suggested, or at least check at the store before ordering if possible.
