Light Summer: the best colors and make-up products

Do you love bright, fresh colors that emphasize your natural charisma without being obtrusive? The Light Summer color type stands for lightness and restraint. This color type harmonizes with cool, soft nuances and is ideal for anyone who wants a subtle but stylish look. In this article, you will find out which colors suit you perfectly, how to combine them and how to take your style to the next level.

What characterizes the Light Summer color type?

Light Summer is one of the four summer types and is characterized by the following features:

Skin: Light, often slightly pink or ivory skin with cool undertones.
Eyes: Usually light eyes in blue, grey-blue or light green.
Hair: Light blonde tones or ashy shades that have a cool touch.

This combination gives Light Summer a soft, almost delicate look that harmonizes perfectly with pastel and cool colors.

The ideal color palette for the Light Summer

The colors of Light Summer look like a cool summer day - fresh, light and full of elegance. Here are the main shades that perfectly emphasize your color type:

Light pastel tones

Pastel colors are perfect for you. Mint green, baby blue, lilac and rose are gentle and stylish at the same time. They emphasize your lightness and create a harmonious look.

Cool Neutrals

For basics and minimalist design, cooler neutral tones such as dove grey, soft grey and off-white are ideal. They can be combined in many different ways and form the basis for a capsule wardrobe.

Fresh accents

If you want to add highlights, go for fresh colors like coral pink or aqua. These shades add a subtle splash of color without losing the lightness of your look.

Avoid warm, heavy colors

Warm autumn tones like mustard yellow or earth tones like olive green often look too heavy and contrast with your natural charisma. Pure black and brown tones are also less flattering.

The color palette of the Light Summer type

The Light Summer type benefits from delicate, cool pastel and powder tones that radiate freshness and sophistication. Strong, warm colors or very dark tones, on the other hand, often appear too harsh and make the face look tired. Instead, you should opt for a color palette that goes harmoniously with your cool and light complexion:

Foundation & Concealer: Neutral to cool beige and rose shades

Rouge: Delicate rosewood tones, cool apricot or light mauve

Eye shadow: Soft taupe tones, cool lavender, light blue or a muted silver

Lipsticks: Light rose, berry tones with a cool undertone, subtle pink

Nail polish: smoky blue, light lavender, soft pearl pink

Your colors, your style

As a Light Summer, your strength lies in the subtle elegance and lightness of your color type. The cool, light tones emphasize your natural beauty and always make you look fresh and stylish. With the right color palette and the right combinations, you can take your look to the next level - be it for everyday life or special occasions.
