Summer is a beauty season full of subtle elegance and harmony. Learn which colors and cosmetics to use to enhance freshness and natural charm – from wardrobe to mineral makeup.
Summer – delicacy and cool elegance
Summer is a beauty type full of subtle elegance, delicacy, and harmony. It's one of the most common color types in Poland, yet it's also incredibly diverse. It's distinguished by its freshness and natural charm, best accentuated by cool, pastel, and smoky shades. If you belong to this type, carefully chosen colors will brighten your complexion and soften and define your features.
- Complexion: porcelain, slightly pink or beige with a cool undertone.
- Eyes: blue, gray-blue, green with a hint of gray.
- Hair: light to dark blonde, light or medium brown – most often in ash tones.
Your beauty looks best in pastel, smoky, and cool tones. Intense, saturated, and very warm colors can make your complexion look tired and your features appear sharper.
Your colors – cool, subtle, smoky
You look best in:
- bases: white, taupe, navy blue, cool gray,
- accents: pastel pink, lavender, lilac, blue, sage.
Avoid: warm yellow, gold, orange, warm browns and intense black – they can take away the freshness and lightness of your beauty.
Makeup for Summer – a light finish and subtle shine
Your beauty type prefers subdued, fresh, and delicate makeup. Choose cool, muted colors that complement your complexion rather than overwhelm it.
Pink
- Rose – a cool, elegant pink,
- Romantic – a delicate, pastel shade,
- Soft Petal , Sugar Bloom – creamy pinks with a light finish.
Bronzer
- Truffle or Cafe au Lait – neutral shades; use sparingly to avoid overwhelming delicate skin.
Eye shadows and eyeliners
