How to tell if you’re a Soft Summer
Often ash brown or dark ash blonde hair, grey-blue, grey-green or soft hazel eyes, and neutral to slightly rosy skin.
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.
