Light Summer lipsticks are cool and playful. Think candy and strawberry pinks as well as berry and plum purples. The idea is to enhance your ethereal appearance without looking overdone.
In this article, we’ve used a variety of red, pink, orange, purple and brown lipsticks to demonstrate which colours we’d advise for Light Summer as well as those you should avoid. Affiliate links have been used to provide additional visual examples.
Please note, this advice is generic for all Light Summer individuals and recommendations will vary based on your unique colouring. Some trial and error may be required in order to find the best shade for yourself. For personalised advice, we suggest purchasing a Colour Analysis package with the makeup option.
Light Summer lipsticks are taken from the reds, purples and pinks on the colour chart.
This subtype belongs to a season influenced by muted chroma so colours and finishes are softer than those we see in Light Spring.
Those who lean closer to Light Spring will need avoid the purple colours in order to maintain balance. However, those flowing further towards Cool Summer may be able to opt for darker variations of the reds, pinks and purples recommended in this article.
