Summer Cool is defined by a soft, elegant, and refreshing look. A cool, blue-leaning undertone paired with soft pastel colors brings out this type's natural clarity.
Summer Cool traits
Summer Cools tend to have light pink or blue-leaning skin undertones and flush or redden easily in the sun. Eyes are often soft brown or grayish-brown, and hair tends to look best in ash brown or cool-toned dark brown. The overall impression is graceful, gentle, and effortlessly elegant.
The best color palette for Summer Cool
Lavender, sky blue, and rose pink bring out the natural clarity of a Summer Cool complexion. The key is choosing soft, low-saturation, light colors.
Makeup color guide
- Lips: Rose pink, mauve, and raspberry shades work beautifully
- Blush: Soft pink gives a natural, gentle flush
- Eyeshadow: Lavender and grayish-brown cool-based shades are ideal
- Colors to avoid: Orange-leaning coral or yellow-based gold highlighters
Clothing and accessory styling
Silver or white gold jewelry brightens the skin far more than gold. For clothing, build around soft, cool basics like lavender, powder blue, and rose gray. Warm, muted colors like mustard yellow or deep brown can make the face look dull by comparison, so it's best to use them sparingly.
Colors Summer Cool should avoid
Strong warm colors like bright orange, mustard yellow, and deep khaki tend to dull Summer Cool's natural clarity. Save them for accessories or shoes rather than pieces near your face.
