Soft Summer

Soft Summer makeup

Use the palette to choose a color direction for lips, cheeks and eyes. Product opacity and your natural coloring change the result.

Dusty rose, blue-gray and muted pine share a quiet, cool cast. Layer neighboring depths so one very bright piece does not steal all the attention.

Lips

Try dusty rose, muted mauve, rose-brown; compare a sheer and fuller application.

Cheeks

Use a light layer in a related color family, then check the dried finish in daylight.

Eyes

Start with three neutral depths. Choose the contrast and coverage you find comfortable.

A practical rule

These are color-family suggestions, not foundation shades. Match foundation to actual skin and swatch products before buying.

For this softer palette, try colors of a similar depth together before adding a strong contrast.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
