Colour Guide : Summer (Cool tones)

Summer faceSummer complexions are usually light and can seem almost colourless

If you are a Summer person, you will notice that you never have a high colour.  Instead, you have a soft, luminous pearl-like quality which harmonises with your muted appearance

Your complexion has an all-over even pinkness that is not red or flushed.  As a Summer, you probably don’t tan well but when you do expose yourself to the sun, you might notice a slight greyish tone to the skin

You can bring a healthy glow to your face with the Summer colour palette, which is muted and cool with blue undertones

 

Hair:

Avoid strong colours which will overpower you.  Instead, choose grey or ash blonde to mid brown.  Stay away from shades of red

Pastels and cool colours are in harmony with your natural colouring.  Try pastel blues, purples or greys on eyes.  Tigi Bed Head Quad Eye Shadow in Controversy is ideal

Gentle, pale shades work with this look so choose pastel pink lips to complement, like Tigi Bed Head Girls Just Want It Lipstick in Faith or Tigi Bed head Shine Junkie Lip Gloss in Pink

 

 

 

Skin:

A cool, blue-based foundation will magically disappear into your skin.  We recommend Clarins True Radiance Foundation in Rosee.  Enhance cheeks with a rose-pink blush for natural-looking prettiness.  Clarins Powder Blush Compact in Rose will give you a lovely flush

 

More Summer Shades:

The cool, blue-based Sumer palette incorporates the whole range of light to dark colours but they are muted and dusky rather than clear, like Spring or Winter colours

 

 

Imagine viewing the Summer landscape through a haze of heat. You can wear soft textures in colours like navy, blue-grey, off-white, rose-beige, rose-taupe, burgundy and plum
