Seasonal color analysis SUMMER!
Seasonal Color Analysis SUMMER is probably the prettiest of all the color palettes.
The deliciously delicate tones of an English country garden.
As the fresh and warm tones of Spring give way to the sleepy days of Summer, the colors become soft and dreamy, seen through a 'heat haze'.
If your color characteristics are LIGHT, COOL and SOFT then these are the colors for you.
Nothing brash, just elegant and feminine.
The SUMMER colors will allow you to re-create your natural coloring in the clothes and makeup that you wear so creating Color Balance.
Seasonal Color Analysis SUMMER
- the prettiest mix of Light, Cool and Soft (Muted)
Your hair:
will be ash blonde through to fair or light brown. You will have been a child with white blonde, fair or light brown hair although it is likely to have now darkened a little - the overall effect is cool and ashy.
There is often a small amount of red in your hair and it's better to play this down otherwise your skin can look sallow.
Your eyes:
will
be light blue, blue grey, green grey, slate blue, even hazel - all
softly greyed down - you may have a slightly darker rim around the iris.
Your skin tone:
is fair to porcelain, ivory through to a medium beige, but always with a blue undertone giving a pink tinge to your complexion. You are likely to flush or blush easily. Avoid a true beige foundation, it will 'flatten' your coloring, instead select a color with a slight pink undertone - ask at the cosmetic counter if you need help.
Create Color Balance with your natural coloring...
A plethora of beautiful flowers from an English summer country garden - mauves, blues, violets, pinks! These pretty tones can be far too soft for many people but you need this gentleness otherwise your delicate natural coloring could be overpowered.
Although your colors are COOL, they are the gentlest and the softest of the COOL palette. Light and gentle does not mean pastel just that all the shades have a lightness of pigment.
The soft berry shades and sea green are deeper than you might expect but the effect is subtle and almost sultry. Your neutral tones of grey and navy denote professionalism just as much as heavier tones on a deeper coloring.
Your most flattering colors:
- are Cool i.e. they have blue undertones
- every shade of blue from pastel through to navy blue is wonderful for you
- the prettiest of pinks, soft berry and soft fuchsia
- the softest sea green and the lightest of clear red
- not all Light colors just Light pigments (not heavily saturated) to balance with your own natural coloring
- soft white rather than pure white which is too clinical for you
Your best neutrals:
- rose beige through beautiful cocoa to rose brown
- light blue grey and silver grey through to grey navy; all soft dusty shades that will provide the perfect foil for your light pretty tones.
What to avoid:
- any color that has a Yellow (Warm) undertone; yellow, orange, tan and mustard, any gingery browns
- Bright sharp greens, warm salmon or coral pinks
- Heavy dull colors and earthy tones
If you must wear a color that's not flattering (or you really like them and why not) team them with a prettier color near to your face which will soften the effect. A soft white can be introduced to make things work; a scarf near to your face, a collar over a jacket silver or white pearls earrings will introduce Cooler tones.
Black is very heavy on your and will drain color from your face. If you must wear it aim for a slightly lower neckline and introduce some beautiful white pearls to bring softness to your face. Midnight blue is a great substitute.
Your skin and eyes are always clearer when you are wearing complimentary tones and any blemishes will be minimized. A natural bloom will return to your cheeks and the right make-up will only enhance this even more.

12 Season Color Analysis
Sadly, Seasonal Color Analysis is often not determined correctly.
If
you've been analyzed as a Light Summer, a Cool Summer or a Soft summer then you may not be a true SUMMER at all and the color palette is
likely to be diluted.
