Light Summer Guide

Hey Gorgeous! 💖

Let’s talk about Light Summer, the dreamiest and most delicate of all the cool-toned seasons. If you’re a Light Summer, your natural coloring is light, cool, and soft—think misty mornings, delicate watercolors, and soft petals. You shine in colors that are cool, light, and a little bit muted, never too bold or too dark. Ready to embrace your effortlessly elegant palette? Let’s dive in!

General Rules

Light Summer is all about lightness, coolness, and softness. Your dominant trait is lightness, meaning your best colors are gentle, fresh, and never overpowering.

Undertone: Cool and soft—your colors should always have a blue or rosy undertone to complement your natural coolness.
Chroma: Muted to medium brightness. Nothing too bold or intense—your colors should be soft but not washed out.
Value: Light! Your best colors are airy and delicate—no deep, heavy shades.

How to Apply This

Stick to soft, cool, and light colors—pastel blues, cool pinks, and soft lavenders will bring out your natural glow.
Avoid dark, bold, or overly warm shades—they’ll overwhelm your delicate coloring.
Balance is key: Your outfits should feel soft and harmonious, never too strong or high-contrast.
Shopping tip: Hold a color next to your face—if it makes your skin look bright and fresh, it’s a winner!

Clothing

Combinations: Your best outfits mix light, cool hues with soft neutrals—like soft lavender with misty gray or powder blue with cool taupe.
Fabrics: Go for light and airy materials like chiffon, linen, and soft cotton to keep your look fresh and effortless.
Patterns: Soft florals, delicate ombré, and subtle stripes work beautifully—nothing too bold or high-contrast.

Pro tip: When layering, keep your color transitions soft and smooth—your palette is all about lightness and coolness, so your outfits should feel airy and elegant!

Makeup

Soft Eyes: Use cool-toned eyeshadows like misty blue, silver taupe, and soft rose to enhance your eyes.
Glowy Cheeks: Blush in soft pink, cool mauve, or delicate rose for a natural flush.
Gentle Lips: Opt for lip colors in sheer pink, soft berry, or cool nude to enhance your natural freshness.
Luminous Skin: Use a foundation with a cool undertone and a light-reflecting highlighter to keep your skin looking radiant.

Hair

Cool Tones: Your best hair colors include ashy blonde, soft cool brown, and silver-tinged highlights.
Subtle Highlights: Delicate highlights in cool beige blonde or soft platinum add dimension without looking harsh.
Avoid Warm Shades: Stay away from golden blondes or rich caramel tones that can clash with your cool undertone.

Accessories

Cool Metals: Silver, white gold, and platinum enhance your soft coolness.
Soft Accents: Light blue scarves, pastel handbags, and dainty silver jewelry complete your look.
Avoid Warm or Dark Accessories: Anything too bold, warm, or heavy (like deep browns or warm gold) will feel out of place against your delicate coloring.

Sister Seasons

Light Spring: This season shares your lightness but leans warmer. If you borrow from Light Spring, choose its cooler pastels like soft mint or icy blue, but avoid golden or peachy tones.
Soft Summer: This season shares your coolness but is more muted. You can borrow its softer shades, but stay away from colors that are too deep or dusty.

Remember: Lightness is your #1 priority! Even when borrowing from sister seasons, stick to shades that feel fresh, delicate, and cool.
