Bright Summer is all about ethereal freshness and lightness. Check out the color palette, cosmetics, and styles that add radiance to the complexion and highlight its natural softness.
Light Summer – lightness and pastel freshness
Light Summer is a uniquely ethereal and subtle beauty type. It's characterized by delicacy, freshness, and lightness, best accentuated by pastels and washed-out, cool hues. If you belong to this type, carefully chosen colors will make your complexion look radiant and your eyes glow.
- Complexion: fair, cool – porcelain or slightly pink.
- Eyes: blue, grey or green (often with a hint of grey).
- Hair: Light to dark blonde, usually in cool tones.
Avoid heavy, bold colors – black, intense cobalt, or saturated reds can overwhelm your delicate beauty. Pastel blues, mint, lavender, or light pink make you look fresh, young, and natural.
How is Bright Summer different from other types of Summer?
- Cool Summer – more expressive; loves clear, cool colors.
- Muted Summer – feels best in smoky, neutral tones.
- Light Summer – the brightest and most pastel; its strength lies in whitened, light shades.
Your colors – bright, pastel, ethereal
You look best in:
- bases: whitened blue, cream, light gray,
- accents: lavender, powder pink, pastel blue, pastel mint.
Avoid: black, strong contrasts and overwhelming, heavy colors – they can take away the freshness of the complexion.
