Summer color type: makeup, hair color and wardrobe. How to understand what color type you are summer: warm, cold or soft
The softest, gentle, aristocratic and feminine. Yes, yes, I just want to characterize the summer color type, which is the most common among girls with a Slavic appearance. Having determined your color type, you can easily select clothes, cosmetics and hair dye that are ideal for you.
Summer appearance color type
It is interesting that representatives of this color type often consider their appearance inexpressive, and sometimes gray. Such girls tend to get rid of the "mouse" color of luxurious curls. In addition, under the influence of sunlight, the color of individual strands can fade and become lighter. As for skin color, the summer color type is a light complexion, which sometimes has a slightly olive undertone. The skin is thin, sometimes with a noticeable vascular network.
When you look into the eyes of such a beauty, it seems that you are about to drown in their beauty. The summer color type is blue, light brown, hazel, green, gray-green, gray-blue, blue eyes, the charm of which is further emphasized by eyebrows and eyelashes of a light brown shade (from light brown to dark). If the “summer” fashionista in clothes prefers the wrong color scheme, then her eyes instantly seem tired, and her hair acquires a faded yellow tint.
Interestingly, from the fact that the skin of "summer" girls is pale, it is important to choose the right ones. For example, too dark glasses will play a cruel joke on the beauty of such a young lady. They will become the center of attention, overshadowing all the charm of a representative of this color type. Therefore, it should be remembered that the frame can be both matte and metallic. Its color varies from gray, gray-green to pale blue, silver and bronze.
When not made up, the color of the lips of the owner of this color type has a muted bright shade that almost merges with the skin. And therefore, stylists strongly recommend wearing lipsticks and lip glosses in pale pink shades in a cosmetic bag. If you want something bright, replenish your beauty box with cherry, plum, scarlet, burgundy lipstick. The summer color type is the appearance of Natalia Vodianova and Jennifer Aniston.
In addition, the summer color type is subtypes:
- bright summer;
- cold summer;
- bright;
- natural;
- soft.
And its prominent representatives include such celebrities as Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Emily Blunt, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Middleton, Mila Jovovich, Sarah Jessica-Parker, Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Russell, Kimberly Williams, Olivia Wilde, Elizaveta Boyarskaya and many others. At first glance, it may seem that the appearance of these beauties have nothing in common. But each of them belongs to one or another subtype.

So, let's try to understand the color characteristics of the summer color type.
Eyes: gray-blue, greenish, hazel, steel gray, blue.
Leather: pinkish beige, light olive, ivory.
Hair: ash chestnut, medium blond, light blond, grayish.
The best colors for "summer" are cool, matte, delicate, restrained. The main tone is smoky blue, in its frame the natural tenderness of “summer” is especially manifested. Complementary colors: moon yellow, rosewood, phlox (smoky rose red).
In “its own” colors, “summer” looks blooming: the skin gets rid of the redness that is characteristic of “summer” due to closely spaced vessels on the face, the color evens out, the look becomes deeper and more piercing, the hair acquires a pleasing tint to the eye.
In “foreign” colors, “summer” (in the picture - in autumn) fades significantly, “is lost”, the contour of the face becomes heavy, the eyes look tired, the hair acquires a faded yellow tint.
Girls of the “summer” color type should always remember that their gamma is a cold, muted palette. Then even without makeup you can look fresh!
Summer color type - colors in clothes

Color type Summer - hair color
In choosing a hair color, girls of this color type need to follow the same rules as with the choice of clothing color. Avoid red shades. Red hair color will spoil the complexion of the "summer". "Summer" girl with red hair looks sickly. The sparkle in the eyes disappears. The skin acquires a grayish-yellow undertone. Wrinkles deepen.
Look at the examples: 1 and 2 pictures - "summer" in red shades; 3 and 4 - "summer" in its natural shades.
The result, as they say, on the face! Thus, do not try to change your hair color to a radically opposite one. Nature has harmoniously created your image, you should not argue with it. And if you want an update, then just try coloring lighter or darker by 1 tone of your original shade. And be sure to consider the most important characteristic of color - warm and cold color.
The Summer color type is a cold color type, so only cold shades of hair are suitable for it: light brown, ash-blond, ash chestnut, ash blond, etc.
A couple more examples of successful and unsuccessful hair color choices.

Makeup for the Summer color type
After a competent selection of hair color and clothing color for the summer color type, it was the turn of the final stage - makeup. For makeup, as for all other components of the image for the "summer", all the same basic characteristics of shades are used: cold, icy, calm. Of particular note, red, warm brown, golden yellow colors are completely absent.
Basic tone
For "summer" always choose a foundation with an olive tint. Why olive and not peach or pink? This is where the color property comes into play. I will tell you one secret. Green neutralizes red. This is easy to check. Take paints and paper. Draw a line first with red paint, and then over green. You will see that the combination of these two colors gave gray. Why am I explaining this? The Summer color type has one important feature. The skin of the "summer" is thin, and red capillaries are always present on it. Some have more, some have less. Sometimes there are representatives of Summer as a whole with a reddish tint of the face. So, to eliminate redness, you need to use a greenish (olive) shade of tone. Do not hesitate, when applying it, the face will not turn green, it will become light with an even dense natural color.
Avoid: overly pink, warm, golden, and especially self-tanners, which give the “summer” a sickly yellowish-orange tint.
When applying tone, remember that it should not "argue" with the color of the skin on the rest of the body. Such a difference in color is especially noticeable on the face and neck, when the face is “camouflaged”, and the neck remains as it is. It creates the effect of a mask on the face, and it looks pretty stupid.
Powder
Use colorless powder, and for evening make-up - with a shimmer effect.
Blush
When choosing blush, look again at the right colors for Summer. Use blush in cool pinks that don't overpower the color intensity of lipstick, and avoid brick reds, auburns, and corals.
Eyeshadow
To emphasize the natural beauty of your eyes, choose shades of pastel and simply cold shades: pale blue, silver gray, icy pink, lilac, smoky blue, gray green.
Mascara and eyeliner
In addition to black, you can safely use lilac, dark brown, dark blue mascara. Black eyeliner is best replaced with dark blue, dark brown, olive green, gray, purple.
Lipstick or lip gloss
The whole palette of pink shades is suitable for the summer color type for lips: berry, dusty rose, lilac-pink. And also more saturated: cherry, red wine color, watermelon pulp color.
Avoid warm browns, ripe tomato, orange shades.

How to create harmony in the image of women of the summer type
It is well known that the Summer color type is a cold direction in appearance, based on shades with a cold (blue) undertone. It seems that any shade in the range from blue-green to purple on the color wheel should fit a priori.
It really is. However, disharmony in appearance often arises in life not due to incorrect selection of warm and cold shades, but due to incorrectly created contrast in appearance, incorrectly selected shades of lightness and saturation.
For example, a typical summer look has medium contrast and low saturation. Such an appearance is unlikely to suit high contrast and bright spots of a large area in the wardrobe.
That is why, in order to create harmony, it is important to consider not only color temperature, but also lightness and saturation. Taking into account all these characteristics, seasonal palettes of shades have been created both for each color type as a whole and for their individual subtypes.
Seasonal palette of shades for the Summer color type
To get a seasonal palette of shades for the Summer color type, you need to take 8 primary colors (red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo, violet and purple) and make them a little colder and softer: add a drop of blue pigment and a gray tone to each of them . As a result, we get a general palette suitable for all summer types:
As you can see, there is no orange color in this palette, because it does not have a cold tonal range. And the second row is represented by cold shades of yellow, which are more green than yellow. The fact is that the cold variants of yellow are yellow with an admixture of green, which instantly makes the color “dirty” and sloppy. Be mindful of cool shades of yellow in your wardrobe to avoid looking messy.
Light shades of the palette for the summer type of appearance (grayish-beige, grayish-white, gray-pink, light gray-blue, pale lilac, light lilac, light green) - great for summer wardrobe, blouses and tops, accessories and additions, and also underwear.
Most dark palette shades(wine, lingonberry, dark pine needles, deep blue, sapphire, dark gray, wet asphalt, dark gray-brown) will look best in outerwear, “going out” clothes, as well as in office wardrobe. Bags and shoes of classic styles in these shades look harmonious.
Neutral shades, with medium lightness and low saturation, suitable for any season and most occasions. Soft and calm colors. Good both for clothes and shoes of the basic group, and for everyday wardrobe. These shades include medium gray, gray blue, gray green, gray brown, blue green, aquamarine, classic blue, dark blue, cold purple, dark lilac, etc.
Bright shades are the most juicy and lively colors of the palette. Ideal for summer and beach wardrobe. Very good for small accents in everyday and business wardrobe. Suitable for celebrations. Used in shoes, bags, gloves, scarves and shawls, belts, etc. These shades include the color of red currant, purple, aquamarine, sky blue, deep blue, ultramarine, amethyst, lavender, deep pink.
The summer type of appearance is divided into three subtypes: cold, soft and light. Each of them has its own characteristics in the selection of colors.

Cold Summer Color Palette
A clear cold undertone is the dominant characteristic of the Cold Summer. This is the case when color temperature comes to the fore. The coldest shades with a slight addition of gray within the seasonal palette are best suited for women of this type: dark blue, needle color, emerald green, medium gray, wet asphalt color, gray-black, etc.
As a rule, the degree of saturation of appearance is medium or higher. It must be reflected in the form. Choose medium-saturated and saturated shades in your wardrobe.
The degree of contrast is average or above average. Try to create the same contrast by combining fairly dark and light tones in one ensemble.

Color Palette for Mild Summer
Softness and muffledness are the main characteristics of the appearance of women with the Soft Summer type. As a rule, blond or medium blond hair, dim eyes. Often, the owners of this type themselves call their appearance “mouse”.
You should not disturb the harmony conceived by nature, trying to give excessive brightness to the image. The palette of shades of Soft Summer should repeat the natural colors of the exterior, playing with a little more contrast to give expressiveness to the look.
Choose the softest shades within the overall summer palette: sagebrush, charcoal gray, gray green, grayish blue, taupe, etc.
Given the low degree of natural contrast in appearance, take a closer look at monochromatic combinations in your wardrobe.
Contrast in lightness will help make the appearance brighter. Combine light shades with medium-dark ones as part of a seasonal palette.
- » Lookbook: Soft Summer
Color palette for Light Summer
The Bright Summer palette consists mainly of light, pastel and low-saturated tones. It is these characteristics that the appearance of women of this type has.
It is noteworthy that pastel shades are remarkably combined with each other, regardless of the color temperature. Therefore, Bright Summer and Bright Spring have many common shades, both cold and warm. However, the summer type near the face should wear shades with a cool blue undertone (blue, purple, cold pink), which will make the complexion healthier.
Low natural contrast in appearance is transmitted in clothes: you can combine two light shades. Darker tones must be diluted with a contrasting light shade.
The most important thing when compiling an ensemble is to avoid too dark colors in the wardrobe, especially near the face.
- » Lookbook: Bright Summer
This common type of appearance seems to radiate sunshine and positive: the combination of tanned skin and blond hair and eyes gives rise to associations with summer, holidays in tropical countries, fashion photo shoots, where models with golden skin and light ash ombre pose in swimsuits against the backdrop of palm trees.
Emphasizing the advantages of this type of appearance is not difficult if you choose the right clothes, shoes, accessories, and cosmetics. The color itself, tone depth, contrast or dullness are important selection criteria. Stylists recommend paying attention not only to color, but also to the texture of fabrics and the texture of decorative cosmetics. Answers to your questions can be found in our style guide for "summer" girls.
Determine your color type
A girl of the summer color type can have both a warm and a cold pronounced tone, hair with an ashy, gray-pink or muted golden tint, light eyes, light or tanned skin with a pinkish blush. They tan beautifully, especially those with darker skin. The combination of light brown hair, tan and bright light eyes is a chic combination, just remember Laetitia Casta or model Emily Didonato.
To find out if you belong to the “summer” color type or not, you should stock up on paper of the right shades or pieces of fabric. They should be warm and cold tones. Cleanse the skin of cosmetics, refresh with tonic or thermal water. Dissolve your hair, if it is dyed, then it is better to hide it under a white scarf. The color palette is viewed in daylight and not in direct sunlight.
Operate by elimination: if bright, clean tones (lemon yellow, deep black, magenta, bright turquoise) do not suit you, then you do not belong to the winter color type. If your appearance looks inexpressive against the background of shreds of warm pastel and muted shades, then you do not belong to the “autumn” and “spring” color types. A palette of cold tones - mint, navy, ash pink, silver - suits "summer" girls. If these tones emphasize the tone of your skin, hair, eyes, are in harmony with your appearance, then congratulations - you are “summer”.
If you are in doubt about determining your color type yourself, it is recommended to make an appointment with a stylist who has a certificate in color. It will help in one session to accurately determine the type and subtype of appearance, choose the most suitable tones among the general range and give advice on creating a harmonious wardrobe.
Subtypes of appearance "summer"
"Summer", like other color types, is no exception, and also has several subtypes that differ in shades, depth of tone and other nuances.
Subtype "Bright Summer"
The owners of this type of appearance have light blond hair with an ashy tint, fair skin with a pink undertone and light eyes of a green, gray or blue tint.
Among celebrities, Cate Blanchett, Naomi Watts, Diane Kruger, Natasha Poly, Reese Witherspoon have such an appearance.
Stylists give some advice on choosing a wardrobe. In summer, the image should be as light and comfortable as possible. Long sundresses made of thin, flowing fabrics emphasize the fragility of the figure and the beauty of the face. Choose shades of baby blue, ash pink, ecru, and tie-dye dresses in a cool color palette.
In autumn and spring, the look should consist of a jacket-leather jacket, a cropped coat or a windbreaker in shades of light gray metallic, pink, light blue, gray-green, etc.
In winter, wear coats and down jackets in neutral shades, complemented by black shoes and a light-colored hat.
In terms of cosmetics, give preference to those products that have a light texture. The foundation should be in the form of a fluid with a water base, powder - "meteorites", mascara - without additional fibers to simulate long eyelashes. Get a palette that includes shadows, lipsticks, blushes and highlighters designed for fair-skinned and fair-haired girls: it will include only cold tones.
Subtype "Real Summer"
A very winning type of appearance that makes its owner bright and seductive. The combination of light blue eyes, dark blond hair with an ashy tint, fading in summer to light blond, beige or swarthy skin makes the girl noticeable among thousands. Famous personalities who have the appearance of the true summer subtype are Emily Didonato, Letizia Casta, Kate Middleton, Emily Blunt, Olivia Wilde, Mila Jovovich, designer Yulia Kalmanovich.
When choosing a wardrobe, choose muted and pastel colors of cold shades, but by no means bright and acidic. Ideal and harmonious combinations will be obtained if you purchase clothes in light gray, silver, opal, mint, coffee shades.
Thanks to your appearance - bright and contrasting - do not forget to flaunt in the summer in a white swimsuit that will emphasize the even and tanned tone of your skin. Also wear things in a nautical style, combining white, gold, blue, blue and dark blue.
Give preference to fashionable minimalism and wear culottes, wide jackets, A-line dresses. From accessories, choose elegant, you can even vintage: handbags, jewelry, hair ornaments, belts.
A few words about cosmetics. To emphasize the beauty of the tan and the brightness of the eyes, use special tint creams, for example, from L'oreal or Yves Rocher. They will give the skin a bronze tint even a couple of months before the start of the holiday season. Paint your eyes with eyeliner or pigmented shadows of dark blue, dark gray, golden hues. Color your lips with a pinkish tint.
Subtype "Mild summer"
Tenderness itself - blond ashy hair, light beige skin with a pinkish and golden undertone, light brown or green eyes: the owners of this type of appearance have solid virtues. Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Morrison, Jessica Biel, Natalia Vodianova, Ellen Pompeo belong to this subtype of appearance.
According to the recommendations of stylists, make up your wardrobe, starting with the basics. Straight trousers, jeans, a sheath dress, a coat for autumn, a summer suit, pumps will be the first step towards creating a stylish wardrobe.
From fashion trends this season, pay attention to colored total bows, Scandinavian minimalism, pleated midi skirts. Choose natural or soft synthetic materials - linen, viscose, cotton, knitwear, denim, velvet, wool, gabardine, cashmere.
From the palette of shades, choose light cold tones - pastel lemon, coral, sea wave, lilac, opal. Refuse too bright or dark shades that will hide the dignity of your appearance and add a couple of years.
From cosmetics, give preference to light tonal textures, meteorite powders, mineral shadows, lipsticks with a slight sheen. Be sure to use a highlighter - in the inner corners of the eyes, on the cheekbones, above the "bow of Cupid", under the eyebrows.
The “summer” color type requires lightness in the image due to soft, flowing materials and light colors. It has many advantages that can be emphasized by following our style guidelines. Update your wardrobe and experiment with your looks!
On a scale bright - soft: the softest shades, complex, not pure, not bright.
On a scale dark - light: medium depth.
Warm-cold scale : smooth blending of warm and cold tones with a little more dominance of cold.
The main characteristics of the soft summer color type
Soft summer color palette
SOFT SUMMER - Color type palette Soft summer contains a lot of gray and olive undertones. The paints are not pure, but complex, elusive, as if they consist of many different colors. Often these shades are well combined with each other. WHAT COLORS GO FOR SOFT SUMMER, unlike Cold Summer?Soft summer with green and brown splashes in eye color looks especially great in colors such as:
cold and calm brown, chocolate, olive, khaki, emerald.
Soft summer with a predominance of gray tones in eye color looks good in colors:
dove, medium and dark gray with warm undertones, smoky azure, sea green
For a cold summer, these colors will be heavy.
HOW TO DEFINE YOUR COLOR TYPE (NATURAL PALETTE)?
In order to correctly assess the prevailing shades of your appearance, you must:
- daylight good light
- remove make-up
- if the hair is dyed, put it in a bun
- mirror
- carefully examine the iris, as it consists of several shades (how to determine the color of the eyes)
- evaluate the contrast between protein and iris, skin and hair
- consider the tone of the lips and skin
The Soft Summer color type contains so many cold and warm tones at the same time in its palette that their SMOOTH collision gives rise to a surprisingly harmonious and soft subtype that can, like a chameleon, demonstrate either one gamut or another without harming harmony, depending on the environment (clothing , accessories, hair tone, interior)
This is precisely the highlight of the Soft Summer, which does not allow you to unambiguously classify yourself as a certain color type until you get to know this amazing and beautiful subtype. What is the difference between the Soft Summer color type and the Soft Autumn color type?
You can often confuse the Soft Summer color type with the Soft Autumn color type. Both have soft colors. The whole difference is in the temperature of the shades.
Mild Summer is also easily confused with Mild Autumn. Types are neighboring (if we draw an analogy with the seasons, then the mild summer is August, and the mild autumn is September). The main difference between these subtypes is the ratio of warm and cool tones. The ML is dominated by calmer, muted tones with a high content of gray and olive, while the MO has soft shades with a high content of nut and honey. As in nature, August is dark green, even grayish foliage with single leaves of a golden tone, brown notes, and September is gently golden leaves, slightly “worn” colors, but there are also green colors, because the foliage is not yet October.
SUBTYPE TEST
If you strongly doubt which natural colors in your appearance are more and whether they are cold or warm ... There is a good way to check (works in conjunction with others for representatives of ML and MO. For others, there are slightly different chips). Wear a medium-tone gray item. In daylight without makeup, look at yourself in the mirror. If the eyes seem grayish (even if they are greenish or with brown patches), then this is a plus towards the Mild Summer, if they remain green, hazel, olive, then this is a plus for the Mild Autumn.
Why is that?
Soft Summer has a high content of gray pigment, all colors are mixed, so to speak, on it. And reacting with the gray color of the clothes, he clearly looks out, creating harmony. In Soft Autumn, the colors are more mixed with hazel, beige, gold and, of course, the eyes cannot seem gray. This effect was described in articles about the tone of the eyes of Mila Jovovich and Angelina Jolie.
Girls who wrote doubts to the last between these two subtypes received, thanks to such a simple experience, another plus in favor of their subtype.

Variants of clothing sets for the soft summer color type
This set incorporates all the warm and pink shades of the natural palette. Everything is built on the nuances in it, since it is almost monochrome in nature.
SHADES
When using only one tone, you need to know the measure and not overdo it with color. When there is too much of one color, the set becomes boring and loses its zest. In this case, the golden tones in accessories, make-up, the play of light on the embroidery can solve this problem.
ACCESSORIES
You should not overload the image if the outfit already contains sequins, stones, embroidery, etc. The decoration, in this case, translucent earrings, support the set only in tone. Decoration should not contain intricate shapes. If the outfit is devoid of complex elements, then you can focus with the help of accessories.
MAKEUP
When choosing lipstick for sets of pink, coral, red or wine tones, try to find a tone lighter than the outfit if it is dark or medium saturation and darker if the outfit is light. This will make the image look fresher.
Light gray color is included in the palette of soft summer. However, for the model, it may be too light. The contrast level of the model is average, so any light tone needs to be complemented with darker tones.
SHADES
Blue was chosen as a contrasting tone. The combination of gray and blue colors is a win-win option. This kit would ideally fit the color type, but due to the high content of gray tone in the iris of the model's eyes, it looks harmonious. That is why, when determining the color type, it is necessary to consider all the nuances that will allow you to "move" the frame and find your colors.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories can only be blue or combine two tones at once, such as earrings.
MAKEUP
For this set, makeup should be done in cold colors. Lipstick of a cold pink color and dense consistency can become an accent, otherwise, by focusing on the eyes, where dark, cold shades are meant, the model runs the risk of simply “getting lost in the abundance” of cold tones.
Pastel colors are incredibly delicate and feminine, it would seem how you can make a mistake with the choice?
However, even here it is necessary to carefully monitor the degree of color saturation, as well as the content of cold and heat in the selected tone.

ACCENTS
For our model, as mentioned above, it is important to observe the level of contrast. In the set shown, accessories take on such an emphasis. The face area with a light outfit should always have a contrast. The second supporting point can be a clutch or a bag, as in this case. Such an arrangement "takes" all the saturated tones into the outer, leaving a light vertical (top, trousers, shoes), allowing you to stretch the silhouette and make it slimmer.
MAKEUP
As for makeup, when choosing pastel colors, you should not make bright accents on lipstick, it is better if it is gentle. If there is a desire to emphasize beauty, then let it be the eyes. Gray, graphite - a good solution for summer color types.

A variant of the autumn set for the Soft summer color type. Lilac and azure is always a very beautiful combination. When choosing such beautiful, intersting tones, you should not use them too abundantly. Accessories and shoes can be flesh, gray, beige - this is a great solution. When choosing shoes to match a dress or coat of such an “obvious” tone, we risk getting a boring look and the emphasis is not at all on the play of colors, but on careful selection. Shoes do not have to be in tone with clothes or a bag, especially when it comes to a dress that allows bodily hooves or without them at all. MAKEUP Shadows should not be matched. It is not necessary. The image is already harmonious. You can limit yourself to voluminous mascara. This will beautifully accentuate the eyes and enhance the average contrast of the mild summer. DETAILS |
