Put your palette into practice
Season-based styling ideas, not measurements of your face or predictions of a dye result. Start with what you own and compare in daylight.
Makeup colors
- Lips
- Cool rose or raspberry
- Blush
- Cool pink or muted rose
- Eyes
- Cool taupe, soft plum or slate gray
Try sheer color first and adjust depth to your skin and preference. Match foundation to your actual skin, not to a seasonal label.
Hair color ideas
- Color directions
- Cool medium brown, muted ash brown or cool beige blonde
- Highlights & dimension
- Gentle cool highlights with low contrast
- Compare before committing
- Compare against strongly golden, orange or copper tones
These are color directions, not haircut advice. Use temporary previews or swatches first; your current color and previous dye affect the result.
Five things to compare in daylight
- Compare soft navy, cool gray and soft white with your current everyday neutrals.
- Try this combination near your face: dusty-blue blouse + cool-gray trousers + navy shoes.
- Compare a sheer cool rose or raspberry lip with a favorite lip color.
- Use cool taupe, soft plum or slate gray as a quiet eye-color experiment.
- Preview cool medium brown, muted ash brown or cool beige blonde at a depth close to your current hair; do not treat the preview as a dye formula.
A few useful answers
Where should I start with True Summer?
Try mauve knit + soft-white jeans + gray bag. Use pieces you already own and change one color at a time. Your preferences matter more than matching every swatch.
Which makeup colors can I compare?
Start with cool rose or raspberry for lips and cool pink or muted rose for cheeks. Sheer application makes comparison easier. Match foundation separately to your actual skin.
Does True Summer require a different hair color?
No. Cool medium brown, muted ash brown or cool beige blonde are optional directions to preview, not a requirement. Gentle cool highlights with low contrast. Existing dye and lighting can affect both the analysis and a preview.
What if this palette does not feel right?
Compare another palette in the same indirect daylight. A photograph or quiz is not a professional measurement. You can keep useful individual colors, retain two candidates or retake the photo without forcing a label.
