How to tell if you’re a Light Summer
Often ash or light blonde hair, light blue, grey or soft green eyes, and fair skin with pink or neutral undertones.
Features vary a lot within every season, so the most reliable test is how colors react with your face. Take the free color analysis quiz for a quick estimate, or let the ToneLily app analyze a selfie in natural light.
Styling tips for Light Summer
