True Summer lipstick
Compare a sheer and a full-coverage version of a compatible lip color. The same shade can look softer when applied lightly.
Blue-based rose, misty blue and cool plum balance coolness with a softened finish. Cool grays can hold a wardrobe together without stark black-and-white contrast.
Colors to begin with
Rose, mauve, cool berry offer starting families for True Summer.
A practical rule
Lip color combines with your natural lip pigmentation. Test on the lips, rather than relying on a wrist swatch or online product photograph.
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.
