The SUMMER Palette is full of pastels — from powdered to vivid colors. The emphasis is on Blue — Skyblue, Ocean Blue-Green, plus Cloud White, and the beautiful Pink, Lavender, Fuchsia, Rose, Mauve, and Watermelon — all the tones of a summer garden.
Look at the model who shows us the importance of the right color.
Summer Colors–Wrong and Right
The model to the right, Mary, has a pink skin tone and looks best in cool colors with blue undertones. Mary is a Summer, notice that Mary’s hair has a taupe (grayish) cast while Kim’s hair has golden red highlights. Mary’s green eyes have a hint of blue in them.
Many green or brown-eyed Summers mistakenly think they are Autumns. In the pictures at right Mary looks drab in the yellow-tone camel and orange lipstick, but comes to life in the pink shirt and pink makeup tones that are so complementary to her natural coloring.
