Soft Summer
Delicate and muted
Dusty, nuanced colours: mauve, blue grey, old rose, sage green. Softness is your ally: with it, your face takes centre stage, not the colour.
How to recognise it
Neutral or slightly pink skin; ash brown or muted dark blonde hair; grey-green, grey-blue or soft hazel eyes. The features blend into one another: little contrast, everything muted.
