Best Makeup Colors for Summers

The soft, refined beauty of a Summer glows in cool, muted tones that reflect its gentle elegance.

• Eyeshadow: Soft, cool tones such as lavender, dusty rose, pastel blues, taupe, soft plum, and grey. Avoid warm or overly vibrant shades such as oranges, gold, copper, or anything too warm-toned and earthy. Look for matte, satin, or subtle shimmer finishes - the low contrast of Summers looks great with the soft, blended finishes that enhance the serenity and harmony of their complexion.
• Check out Color Me Beautiful’s Color Pro Eyeshadow in Silver Lilac or Color Pro Eyshadow in Rose Quartz 

• Lipstick: Soft, cool tones of pink and rose like mauve, raspberry, dusty rose, and blue-based berry shades. These types of tones enhance the natural softness while adding a touch of color. Look for sheer, creamy, or satin formulas that feel polished and effortless.
• Check out Color Me Beautiful’s Color Renew Lipstick in Joy or Color Renew Lipstick in Plum Sorbet

• Blush: Gentle, cool-toned pinks and berry tones like soft rose, plum, dusty mauve, lavender-pink, and light pink. Avoid anything too warm or golden such as peach, coral, or apricot. Look for a matte or satin finish to emphasize the soft romantic look.
• Check out Color Me Beautiful’s Color Pro Blush in Pink Peony, Color Pro Blush in Soft Rose or Color Pro Blush in Sweet Appleberry

• Eyeliner: Cool, soft shades like navy, charcoal, and muted blue eyeliners to define the eyes while also adding harmony to the low-contrast softness of any Summer's eyes. Avoid anything too warm-toned like olive green

Additional Tips

• Summer is the serenity palette, so you should always avoid harsh contrasts by keeping the entire look calm and in complete harmony.
• You receive compliments in pastel shades of rose, periwinkle, and sage.
• Pay attention to the undertones of your makeup. Summers should generally lean towards makeup with cool undertones that make them glow and avoid makeup with warm undertones that can feel too lifeless and muted.
• Don't be afraid to break the rules! These are just general guidelines, and you can always experiment with different colors to find what looks best on you.
