Soft Summer Make-up

Makeup guidance tailored to your season – shades, textures, and application tips.

Your coloring, your rules

Soft Summer has cool undertones with a muted, low-contrast quality. Your makeup should be soft and blended – nothing bright, vivid, or warm. Muted cool tones are your sweet spot.

Makeup Placement by Face Shape

Where you place blush, contour, and highlight depends on your face shape – not just your coloring

How to find your face shape

Pull your hair back and look straight into a mirror. Compare three widths: forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. Which is widest? Then look at the overall shape – is your face longer than wide, or about equal? Finally, check your jawline: is it rounded, angular, or pointed? Those three clues will point you to your shape.
